I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, PA. I earned my Bachelors degree in Cognitive Science and my Master's degree in Behavioral Science with a concentration in Health Behavior.

I am a writer who works extensively with historical documents and researcher who embraces learning for life. I love making a subject engaging, interesting and ultimately seeing others succeed in their endeavors.
Welcome to my profile! I am an earnest, well-educated (PhD) lad with many years of teaching experience. I have instructed in assorted fields, from English to religion and theology, and in many different places, from Hong Kong to Toronto. I also dabble in other languages - need to brush up on your German? I would be happy to help.
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!
I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!
I'm currently a senior at the University of Michigan pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Business. I've been tutoring for 7+ years now, and I love making an impact in my students' lives! Previously, I've taught Math (up until pre-calculus), Science, Reading, Grammar, Writing, Computer Science (Java, C++, Python, Scratch, etc), and many more. I truly believe that working individually with students will not only help my students learn but also help me in growing as I learn from those around me.
I am a recent Purdue University graduate in Computer Engineering. As a teaching assistant for multiple courses including C Programming, Freshman Engineering, Digital Systems Design, and iOS programming, I had the opportunity to meet many great students and assist them in completing their courses successfully and meaningfully. I hope to continue doing that here with Varsity Tutors. I am also strong in high school-level STEM classes, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology with a strong background in science and math. I would love to tutor these subjects, especially algebra, calculus, and physics, but I would also enjoy tutoring SAT Reading or even guitar. I am passionate about working with my students and seeing them succeed.
I'm comfortable with a wide range of subjects but I'm most passionate about History, English and Literature. These are topics I love discussing in general and I'm always happy to have a chance to help someone else find enjoyment in the subject. Trying to encourage of love of learning is an important part of my teaching philosophy and I try to do so by finding out what my students are interested in.
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I majored in International Relations and Russian and of Thunderbird School of Global Management where I earned an MBA in International Business. My college and graduate studies include coursework in Writing, Literature, Geography, History, Political Science, Russian, Music, Business, Math, Science, and Art. Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I am also a very experienced writer and editor. In my free time I enjoy hiking, literature, ultimate Frisbee, international travel, soccer, baking, music, strategy games, and philosophical discussions. I have lived in Africa, Western Europe, and Russia and visited over a dozen countries. Please note that due to the many different subjects I have studied, the list of classes above is not complete. If you have tutoring needs for a very specific subject, I may well have taken a course in that area. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with reading comprehension, essay writing, and grammar fundamentals—challenges that can compound across grade levels if not addressed early. With Louisville's average class size of 14:1, students often don't get the individualized feedback needed to identify whether they're struggling with understanding complex texts, organizing their thoughts in writing, or mastering foundational mechanics. Personalized tutoring pinpoints exactly where a student is getting stuck and builds skills from there.
Your first session is an opportunity for a tutor to understand your current reading and writing level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving essay scores, tackling challenging literature, or building confidence with grammar. The tutor will likely review some of your recent work or have you complete a brief writing sample to identify strengths and areas for growth. This assessment guides the personalized plan going forward, ensuring every session targets what matters most to you.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to provide detailed, immediate feedback on your writing—something difficult to achieve in a classroom with 14+ students per teacher. You'll work on specific skills like thesis development, evidence integration, organization, and revision in real time, with a tutor who can explain *why* something works and help you apply those lessons to future assignments. Over time, this targeted practice builds stronger writing habits and confidence across all types of assignments.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand Kentucky's academic standards and the specific curriculum used in Louisville's school districts. Whether your student is working on grade-level reading standards, preparing for state assessments, or tackling advanced literature and composition, tutors can align their instruction with what's being taught in class and help reinforce those concepts at a deeper level.
Reading comprehension improves when students learn specific strategies for breaking down complex texts, asking critical questions, and making connections between ideas. A tutor can model these thinking processes, guide you through challenging passages, and help you develop annotation and note-taking habits that stick with you long-term. With personalized practice on texts that match your reading level and interests, comprehension skills build naturally and transfer to new material.
Absolutely. Tutors can help you understand the specific reading and writing formats used on Kentucky state assessments and standardized tests, teach test-taking strategies, and provide targeted practice with similar question types. Beyond test prep, the stronger reading and writing skills you build through tutoring directly improve your performance on these assessments, since they measure real comprehension and writing ability rather than just test tricks.
Varsity Tutors connects students across all grade levels—from elementary reading fundamentals through high school literature and composition, AP English, and college-prep writing.

Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors based on your student's grade level, specific needs, and learning style. You can share details about what your student is struggling with—whether it's essay writing, reading comprehension, grammar, or test preparation—and get connected with a tutor who has expertise in that area.
