I teach theatre and creativity at Temple University, Rowan University, and Stockton University. As a mentor of creative artists and scholars, I love helping students to develop skills and practices that allow them to communicate and organize their ideas in the strongest, most effective ways.So many intelligent students haven't mastered the techniques required for academic writing. It's something that all instructors in higher education struggle with. Fortunately, anyone can learn how to take ideas and sculpt them into a compelling, concise, and elegant paper. As someone who grades dozens of essays every week, I'm excited to help you develop writing abilities that will help you in virtually all of your academic coursework.Need help with that college application essay? I would love to sit down with you and not only make sure that your submission is error-free, but also give you ideas for generating creative content that expresses your unique story in a way that will catch the eye of your target institution.My passion is helping students learn to create, to generate solid and perhaps groundbreaking work. Regardless of your field, the ability to communicate your ideas will free you to maximize your potential.

Rohan
BA Purdue University
2+ Years Tutoring

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor with a strong background in math, computer science, and the broader STEM fields. With years of hands-on experience in coding, problem-solving, and mentoring, I've developed a deep appreciation for how powerful personalized learning can be. Whether I'm walking a student through a tricky calculus concept or debugging a Python program, I find real joy in helping others make sense of challenging material. My tutoring journey began informally, helping classmates and friends prepare for exams and projects. Over time, that casual support turned into a passion for teaching. I've worked with students of various ages and skill levels from those building foundational skills to those tackling advanced topics and I've learned how to adapt my style to meet each learner's unique needs. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and computer science. I enjoy the logic, structure, and creativity that both require, and I love showing students how these subjects connect to the real world from building apps to solving everyday problems. At the same time, I'm always open to supporting students in other areas, especially when they need a patient guide who can break down complex ideas into manageable steps. As a tutor, my style is calm, clear, and goal-oriented. I believe in asking thoughtful questions, encouraging curiosity, and creating an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. I aim not only to boost academic performance but also to build confidence and independent thinking.
