About Me

School takes up anywhere from 30-70% of a student's waking life, and there is no reason anyone should feel subpar or inadequate for that vast amount of time. I completed my undergraduate coursework at the University of California, San Diego, where I graduated cum laude with a major in Literature in English and a minor in General Biology, so whether you're an aspiring engineer struggling with poetry, or a future novelist grappling with coordinate geometry, I'm on your wavelength. In college I was a classroom volunteer tutor for the Preuss Charter School in San Diego, and I've been working for nearly two years now as a professional tutor, and have thorough experience with a range of subjects and standardized test formats. I also write pop culture articles on the side, and aspire to be a college professor of literature; consequently, I most enjoy teaching English and composition, and pride myself on being able to break down essay-writing to its most fundamental, obvious-as-peanuts basics. When I am not saving children from the abyss of school-related anxiety, I indulge in film photography, kung fu movies, and guitar.

Q&A with Andrew

As a student, when it came to exams, my study guides left absolutely nothing to chance. Give me your problem subject, and I'll not only break it down for you, but I'll tell you how I broke it down. It boils down to this: take your old work, study your mistakes, and study them until you know you'd never repeat them. Move onto the next work, rinse, and repeat.
