A lifelong reader and writer who pursued a formal Writing minor alongside his science degree, Andrew brings genuine enthusiasm for language to every session.

Every day in his middle school Language Arts classroom, Conor walks students through close reading of complex texts, from dissecting an author's argument to identifying tone and figurative language.
