About Me

I received my Master of Arts in Philosophy and Humanities from the University of Chicago in 2012. As I was completing my philosophy studies, I had the honor of presenting two research projects at philosophy conferences hosted by SUNY Oneonta and the University of Chicago. After completing my graduate studies, I gained teaching experience as a Citizen Schools teaching fellow. My main responsibilities included teaching two sections of English, three small-group guided reading tutorials, and a Sci-Fi Screenwriting course that I taught during expanded learning time. I tutor in a variety of fields in which analytical writing and critical reading skills are essential. Some of my tutoring fields include English, Expository Writing, Literature, History, Social Studies, Psychology, and Philosophy. My test prep fields include STAAR, PSAT, and GRE Analytical Writing. I also help students with college essays, essay editing, and public speaking. Writing tutorials are what I find to be the most enjoyable. I see more student growth in writing, not only because the skills we build are the most holistic, but because growing in writing and self-expression helps one grow as a person. I am a laid-back and casual person that enjoys sharing some good jokes and making some small talk about the latest movies. Outside of the classroom, I spend most of my time writing, rehearsing, and producing music with my band. I also enjoy writing screenplays, writing comic book scripts, and seeking creative inspiration from my favorite authors, musicians, and filmmakers.

Q&A with Vincent

I believe that there are three skills that drive learning. Those skills are critical thinking, analytical reading, and expository writing. Experts do not simply memorize facts about their field or work according to a formula. Experts think creatively and critically, and when it comes to expressing what they know, they do so clearly and succinctly. Every learning experience aims to build expertise, and for that reason, I think it is never too early to begin thinking like an expert.
