About Me

I have a B.A. in English from Skidmore College and am currently pursuing an M.A. in History from Hunter College. I also have experience teaching guitar as a private guitar instructor and have tutored students in ELA, Social Studies and math in a library setting. I have learned from working with kids that every student is unique and special in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student. I also believe a good tutor should try to make learning fun by piquing interest and by relieving any anxiety that often comes when students approach their work. My strengths are in ELA, History and Social Studies generally. I am also currently writing a graduate thesis, so I have a great interest in writing and can help with writing at all levels. I am a guitarist and can also teach guitar. Music is my favorite interest, and I also love to read and play tennis.

Q&A with Thomas

I ask them what subjects they need the most help in, and what subjects they enjoy or don't like so much. And I'll ask how much they enjoy school generally. That way, you can see how motivated they are and where they need the most help.
