About Me

In the past I have taught as an adjunct professor of Theology and Religious Studies at Marymount University and am currently pursuing my PhD in Religious Studies at Temple University. My areas of expertise are Biblical Studies, especially the Hebrew Bible, and Ancient Near Eastern Mythology. I have a secondary expertise in world religions and the various theological disciplines, as well as in ancient and medieval history. As long as I can remember, teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students was what I have wanted to do with my life, and luckily, teaching and tutoring come relatively naturally to me. Varsity Tutors gives me an opportunity to work with students to help them do better in school, find more joy in learning, and occasionally, make a real difference in their lives. My interests are extremely broad, and I usually develop a substantial amount of knowledge in every area I find interesting. For this reason, I am able to tutor across a variety of disciplines and to help students see connections between and among areas that typically seem unrelated. I have also worked hard to develop and maintain test-taking skills and I know a variety of strategies that can help to improve test scores substantially.

Q&A with Kevin

The core of my teaching philosophy involves connecting with students to the degree possible, and coming to understand their interests and strengths, as well as those areas that they find more difficult or are less intuitive for them. Once I have the best possible feel for my students, I always try to proceed in such a way that I can maintain both structure and flexibility, as well as enthusiasm and fairness. I also try, to the degree possible, to avoid inducing stress in my students, and I always make sure never at all to induce unnecessary or unhelpful stress.
