Award-Winning Tutors from Boston College

Hello! I'm a student at BC. I've always loved to help others understand. When I was little I would have "class" and turn my younger siblings into my students. In elementary school, I began to receive great personal satisfaction from helping my classmates and friends with any homework they were confused about. Throughout high school I volunteered as a tutor since I enjoyed it so much and now I work as a part-time tutor and mentor to the children of newly-arrived immigrants in Boston. I have a very individualized approach to teaching, drawing on the interests, experiences, and style of learning of my students. My areas of speciality are both English and Spanish grammar, reading/writing, and fluency. I would love to help you/your child in any way I'm able!

I recently graduated magna cum laude from Boston College with highest honors in Political Science. Before I embarked on my collegiate journey, I graduated from Mamaroneck High School at the top of my class and as an AP Scholar with Distinction. During my time at Boston College, I was enrolled in two prestigious programs the Arts and Sciences Honors Program and the Political Science Honors Program. Through this rigorous, comprehensive education, I have attained a wide-breadth of knowledge on a myriad of subjects.In addition to being well-versed in politics and history, I also have a strong background in literature and writing. With a firm command of the English language and a nuanced understanding of grammar, I am well-equipped to help students improve their reading comprehension and essay writing skills. As an avid reader and writing enthusiast, I naturally find great joy in reviewing and editing the work of others. Although writing is incredibly stylistic, it is also remarkably formulaic. With proper preparation, all students are capable of fine-tuning their craft with effective methodologies and strategies all that is needed is the right guidance and support.There are few things more rewarding and fulfilling than helping clients to develop a recipe for success. It truly brings me delight to see a student discovering the right answers to the same questions that once boggled him or her. When students discover that they are more than capable of finding solutions to challenging problems, they often begin to attain a sense of fulfillment from their work. With the right training, any student is capable of excelling academically. My role as the facilitator is to simply show the tricks and techniques that will help a student to achieve noticeable improvements. With my help, I am more than confident that you will be able to succeed and thrive.

My name is Annabel, and I am a junior studying finance and philosophy at Boston College. I will be an Investment Banking Analyst at UBS next summer. I have a long history of tutoring across various age levels and subjects. I am happy to tutor various ages, and study skills and tailored lessons are my strengths. SAT: 1530 ACT: 35 AP Calculus BC: 5 AP Macroeconomics: 5 AP Statistics: 5 AP United States History: 5 AP World History Modern: 5 AP Physics C Mechanics: 4 AP Language & Composition: 4 Preschool: Volunteered teaching math/alphabet for four years at summer school. Kindergarten - Fourth grade: Helped with math, English, science, and social studies classes. Happy to tutor fifth and sixth grade as well. Middle School: Tutored ESL students struggling with homework (various subjects). High School: I have almost all 5s on my AP exams and have tutored for many of them. College: Accounting, Finance, Basic Philosophy classes, Marketing, Investment Banking prep.

I am a PhD in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology with Thesis work in Microbiology. I received a B.S. in Biochemistry from Boston College. I never really thought I would get a doctorate in science- I found science to be quite challenging while I was doing my undergraduate studies. Learning how to study efficiently was really important for my success at Boston College and in getting into a PhD program. I hope that I can help my students learn how to learn by taking big complicated theories and applying them to every day examples. I will share the tricks I learned for studying efficiently so that my students can quickly absorb and understand what they need to know to pass an exam, a class, or take a standardized test.My favorite subjects are Biology and Chemistry (not surprisingly), but I have also tutored Math and Physics successfully to my fellow undergraduates at Boston College as well as high school and middle school students. I found that it is not the content but how you learn it that really is important on test day.Among the skills I hope to pass along include how to memorize loads of information and mechanisms (this is for those aspiring Biologists out there), how to recognize patterns in Chemistry so that you only have to learn ONE mechanism instead of 100, how to know what equation is the right equation for the problem at hand, how to do a problem from start to finish using logical steps and tapping into the knowledge you already know, how to eliminate wrong answers on tricky multiple choice questions, and how to efficiently study so that you still have time to relax and have a life (very important for success).Contrary to popular belief, most PhD students do not live in the lab. I like to get out and explore New York, watch Netflix marathons of Dexter and Orange is the New Black, and go out with friends as often as possible. Music is my passion and I try to get out to as many shows as possible in this great city. I even ran a non-commercial radio station back in Boston! Because I learned how to study early, I have time to do what I want instead of locking myself inside a library every time I have an exam. I hope to pass this great skill on to you so you can be successful but also well-rounded and happy with your life.

Hi there! I'm currently a hematology/oncology fellow interested in graduate medical education. I excelled on my clerkship exams and Step 2CK. In addition, I have created a robust internal Medicine review course and a hematology review course. I have mentored many students as well and look forward to educating the next generation.

I am a graduate of Gordon College, where I majored in French, and also of Boston College from which I received my Master's in French Language and Literature. I tutored Elementary and Intermediate French for a year while I was a student at a community college, and also was the TA to my French professor at Gordon, which means I corrected homework. In addition, I had the opportunity to tutor a French man in English while I studied abroad for a semester in Southern France, and he provided me with similar tutoring in French. During the summer before I began my graduate studies, I tutored a student in French as she was preparing to study at the Sorbonne the next academic year. During my two years at Boston College, I taught Elementary French to undergraduate students, and enjoyed it immensely! I am currently teaching Elementary French at another college in Boston, and working on PhD applications (in French, of course!) for next year. I absolutely love teaching- I have a great passion for the French language, culture and history, and am so excited when I get the opportunity to share this with students. As far as teaching, I try to use many techniques including choral repetition, PowerPoint, worksheets, group/partner activities, games (BINGO and Jeopardy especially!), youtube (to share francophone videos/songs), and good ol' fashioned writing on the blackboard. I require constant participation from students, speak in French most of the time, and make sure a concept is grasped before moving on to the next one. I love teaching a class, and also appreciate one-on-one time with students, where one can move more slowly and study more in-depth. As far as interests go, I love classic movies, music, cats, reading and travel.

My name is Mason and I am passionate about science and the environment! I have combined these two in my love of environmental and earth sciences, but I also love learning about chemistry and physics. I am priviledged to now help others learn about the amazing world around us.

I graduated Boston College, and I am loved the experience! I tutored extensively throughout high school, and so far I have continued this trend in college. Over my four years in high school, I tutored about 10 different students in areas such as English, Spanish (I am a native speaker), math, history, test prep, and even music performance. Now in college, I have 5 students, and I tutor them in math, reading, writing, grammar, proofreading, and in the development of useful skills such as time management, organization, staying focused and on task, and more.I find tutoring to be an extremely rewarding experience, both for the student and the tutor. Although it seems like the student is the only one learning, the tutor learns a great deal, as well. For instance, with each student I take on, I gain valuable experience that I can then use with another student. In addition, I love being able to assist a student in reaching their goals, be that a higher grade in a class, a deeper understanding of a specific topic, etc.I am a native speaker of Spanish- it was actually my first language! My entire family comes from (and still lives) in Galicia, the northwest province of Spain. Although I am fortunate enough to be bilingual, I still love tutoring others in the hopes that they will come to love the language just as much as I do.I took all the AP and Honors courses I could in high school, and although I placed out of my freshman English classes in college, I decided to take an extra English literature course out of my passion for the subject. I have worked towards having and using excellent grammar since a young age, and I find editing and proofreading to be a calming, enjoyable task.I began studying the violin when I was 6 years old, and it was only a few short years later that I decided to pursue it seriously. Since then, I have formed part of countless county and state-wide orchestras, as well as several symphonies on the national and international level. I have been lucky enough to perform in halls such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, United Palace, and more locations throughout the U.S. as well as Europe. I tutored music all throughout high school, and I am excited to continue doing so in college!If you happen to be interested in any of the areas I tutor in, please don't hesitate to contact me! I look forward to working with you!

I received my Bachelor of Science from Connecticut College with a major in Human Development. After graduating, I worked as a teacher in the Boston Public School system for two years, before earning a Master of Social Work from Boston College. I am currently a first year law student at Northeastern University School of Law.While teaching I worked with special education students who experienced a number of different learning challenges. Although I taught 7th grade math, I most enjoy tutoring in reading and writing. I love helping students learn to express themselves more thoroughly through language. Outside of academia I enjoy reading and spending time outside, being active. In high school I was a competitive swimmer, which lead to my playing on the varsity water polo team while I was in college.

I am a graduate of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where I obtained a Master of Public Health (MPH). Previously, I had been a verbal SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE and GRE Senior Tutor working for Inspirica, Inc. in Manhattan. I loved the job. I tutored in the New York City area, as well as nationally and internationally.I was promoted to Senior Tutor because my students had the highest overall score increases, as compared to the students taught by my fellow verbal tutors. As a Senior Tutor, I taught newly hired tutors the best strategies to help their students achieve the best possible score results. There's nothing better than to see a student achieve scores higher than they had initially imagined. I am also a very accomplished writer. I can help to brainstorm and edit a college application essay, a master's thesis, or a dissertation.As a standardized test tutor, I have an interactive tutoring style. Once I teach the strategies I usually don't answer content questions, but instead, I ask a lot of questions to encourage my students to think for themselves. I always remind them that I will not be there on test day. That said, it's very important for me to be a supportive, fun, and engaging teacher. I look forward to tutoring sessions and try my best to make sure that my students do as well.Since receiving my MPH, I have been writing a full-length musical The Moving Sky. I have been a professional, published songwriter for a long time and it gives me great joy. In addition, I enjoy swimming, playing trivia games, being outside, and watching foreign films. I'm also a member of Mensa.

I graduated from Boston College with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in medical ethics. After graduating, I worked as a medical scribe and I am currently applying to medical schools. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing guitar and watching movies.Previously, I have tutored students of all ages in various subjects, with an emphasis in math and SAT. As a tutor, I believe that students learn best through solving problems. By guiding students through various problems, I will help them learn how to apply their knowledge to solve complex questions and gain confidence and competencies in difficult subjects.I look forward to meeting you!

I am a patient, positive instructor offering tutor assistance in the following areas: *Beginner to Intermediate Excel, including navigation, formula writing, pivot tables and v-lookups. *Beginner Business Analysis - the basics on impactful data analysis, requirements gathering, KPIs and incentive plans to drive revenue. *Basic English composition. The how-to for being a clear, concise writer to effectively communicate

I believe in education, and I believe in every student having confidence that he or she is smart and capable. My hope is for every student to follow his or her goals and ambitions. I went through the competitive New York City private school atmosphere at Friends Seminary through to Boston College, where I graduated Cum Laude as an English Major. Having played sports and music on top of academics in middle and high school, I know the pressure that young students in this city face. I understand their burden. My goal is to work with students so that they believe can succeed and be proud of themselves. I want students in New York to feel free amidst the overwhelming expectations to get into college. I will work with the student so that we both feel stimulated by a difficult subject. As a current acting student, I understand now more than ever that true learning is being able to make mistakes and learn from them. Any student that works with me will be free to make a mistake, so that he or she will learn from it.

Hi, I am Clara a tutor passionate about helping you learn your way! I studied Economics and Accounting at Boston College, where I was a Spanish tutor for two years!

Hi, my name is Cara and I am eager to be a tutor! I am currently working towards my M.Ed. in Elementary Education and have had many years of experience working/volunteering in classrooms. I have been in PreK, Kindergarten, Second grade, and Fourth grade classrooms and I also have previous experience tutoring. Thank you for checking out my page!

I am currently a Finance major at Boston College. I graduated from the United World College in Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At this school, my interest in tutoring and getting to know different people was ignited when I started tutoring non-native English speakers. I learned to be patient while teaching new subjects and to cater to the needs and interests of my students. I have lots of experience taking standardized tests such as the ACT and AP tests and would love to spread my knowledge to my tutees in an exciting and dynamic way.

I am a teacher and I have taught at elementary and middle schools in Boston for 4 years. I have tutored for over 7 years! I majored in education at Boston College. My favorite part of teaching is getting to know students and creating course materials that engage students to make learning fun and accessible. I mainly tutor math and Chinese. I believe that each student is fully capable of understanding material. It just depends on how the material is presented to them. My goal is to meet each student where they are at, and support them in learning the way they learn best!

As a former NYC high school English teacher I know that many students struggle with learning but all students can achieve success.My teaching philosophy is to empower students to be the agents of their own learning. In order to learn efficiently and effectively, tutors need to embrace learning styles. From concepts to creation, students must learn how to ask significant questions and keep asking them. For a tutor, this means modeling good questions and expecting the best from her students.From the moment I sit down with students, they know they are in a safe environment where learning and respect for others is paramount. I enjoy using humor and engagement to make our sessions as interesting and painless as possible. No student should fear learning!

Having taught politics at the University of Glasgow in the UK, I know what the top universities expect of their students and I know what it takes to get there. That is why my tutoring approach not only focuses on helping my students learn essential material; it also focuses on helping my students learn how to learn for themselves so that they can become independent and critically-minded thinkers. I do this by creating a challenging yet entertaining learning environment. With a strong academic background in government, history, economics and literature, I understand the challenges my students face in each subject. Having also worked as a personal trainer, I learned what it takes to motivate my clients physically and mentally. Though academia is more tweed than tube socks, I still employ the same enthusiastic approach when tutoring to ensure that my students develop the necessary learning skills and motivation to succeed. Most importantly, I take tutoring personally, and thus I am personally invested in the success of all my students.

I specialize in linguistics and English for academic purposes, and I've spent over ten years supporting students in both areas. I have a PhD in Linguistics, a TEFL certification, and several years of experience teaching linguistics at the university level. Whether you're working through linguistic theory or trying to strengthen an academic paper or presentation, I focus on giving practical strategies you can use independently going forward.

Learning and teaching is never a process which can be properly dictated and planned for, it must evolve based on regular and meaningful interaction between a student and teacher. It is with this mindset that I approach every student I work with, always being cognizant of a specific student's strengths and weaknesses and working to improve every aspect of their academic journey.Moreover, I currently hold my Master's degree in Political Science and International Relations from Boston College where I wrote my thesis on the Middle East entitled, "Economic Opportunity and Inequality as Contributing Factors to the Arab Spring: The Cases of Tunisia and Egypt". Prior to this I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Communication and History with Magna Cum Laude and Dean's List First honors, also from Boston College. Beyond this I have done certificate coursework at the National University of Singapore in Game Theory, Cambridge University (UK) in ancient empires and politics, Venice International University in globalization and its effects on the modern world, international business, social sustainability, & modern US, EU, and NATO relations, and Boston University in wine studies.I truly look forward to helping with your academic pursuits and making the learning process a fruitful one.

As a current Mathematics and Computer Science student at Boston College, I am passionate about helping students grasp complex concepts in subjects like Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment that encourages students to ask questions and explore their understanding. My approach is rooted in patience and adaptability, tailoring my methods to meet each student's unique needs. I find great joy in witnessing their progress and confidence grow, which motivates me to continue my tutoring journey. Outside of academics, I enjoy solving puzzles and exploring new technologies, which further enriches my teaching style.

I studied Physics and Finance, getting my Physics degree at University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and my Masters of Science in Finance at Boston College. I teach as an Adjunct Professor at Boston College in the Finance department, teaching Entrepreneurship, Venture Capital, and mentoring students in a variety of areas.My tutoring focus is Math and Science. I have helped a lot of students in these subjects understand what is important in the subject, and how to think about and approach problems. I love to see student's feeling towards Math and Science change when they are able to tackle problems more easily!

I pride myself in being able to help simplify challenging problems for students, as well as offer mentorship and moral support in the absence of a teacher for the student's academic success.

I am a social sciences and writing teacher in both training and by passion. I enjoy teaching all aspects of language, from minute grammar rules to vocabulary to the larger and more complex methods and approaches to paper writing. I am am interested in the math and sciences, and have long harbored an appreciation and a desire to share in my excitement and understanding of the world around us.I am currently a Master's student at the University of Chicago in a program called MAPSS (Master's of Arts Program in the Social Sciences). I came to UChicago after six years in education so I could qualify to teach at the tertiary level. I already have a Master's of Education in Secondary History, and confirmed to myself over six years of teaching, tutoring, and mentoring that education is where I belong. It has been quite difficult not having any students the past six months while I have been focusing on my studies, but the path before me is clear enough that I am able to reenter education.Having as many teaching experiences and learning to meet different needs has been a strong influence on my career to date. In addition to being a classroom teacher, I have previous experience as a substitute teacher, both per diem and long term. I also taught adults with disabilities for 8 months, specializing as the Health and Wellness Instructor. I spent a year as a one-to-one for a sophomore with special needs, and after that began my pre-practicum and practicum in technical high school. I have worked for Princeton Review and PrepNow as an SAT tutor, and did private tutoring in SAT and English as a Secondary Language for six months last year.In all of these ventures, my favorite aspect of the vocation has always been the "question," the moment when a student pauses, sits befuddled for a second or two, then either is able to pinpoint exactly what is keeping him or her from moving on or making a poignant observation in the form of a question. What is so wonderful about those moments is they are when learning is truly happening. The results often come in two types. The first is the "a-HA!" moment that teachers crave; this is when new information fits comfortably among what is already established in our understanding, or what makes two seemingly unrelated pieces connect. The second is a feeling of distress. This is when a new piece of information or framework for looking at the world feels uncomfortable because our brain is struggling to find a place to categorize that information into what we already know, or new information contradicts what we thought we knew. Both reactions are necessary for learning, but the latter sometimes gets lost in embarrassment, uncertainty, or the swiftness of the classroom. I think that what makes a great teacher is not only giving space for those types of uncomfortable moments and not only being able to address them effectively, but giving encouragement to students to both admit to and encourage those types of sensations. Without feeling confused once in a while, how is one ever to know that he or she is learning?

I am a graduate of Boston College, having received my Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies with a minor in Economics. In both employment and volunteer situations, I have extensive experience with childhood education, having tutored at a boys' elementary charter school in Brooklyn; worked as a site assistant at a YMCA elementary after school program in New Hampshire; tutored at a women's shelter in Boston; acted as a reading buddy at a Boys and Girls club in Boston; and volunteered at a nursery school in New Hampshire. In addition to these formal settings of education assistance, I was a counselor at a co-ed YMCA summer camp for six years, which gave me countless opportunities to grow my own understanding of how kids learn.I tutor elementary math and reading and truly love both subjects. I believe elementary education is as much about understanding the student's way of thinking and helping her or him absorb the material in a way that compliments that approach as it is a one-way impartation of knowledge. As such I try very hard to patiently go through each step of the student's thought process with him or her, in order to personalize my tutoring to the student. Having worked with children for so long I absolutely believe that they all have incredible brilliance in ways that are not always exposed by standard education, so I try very hard to tap into that imagination in order to help them become the best scholars they can be.I spend the majority of my free time reading, watching documentaries, biking, swimming, walking around New York, traveling by the subway to new places, and attending free events in the city.

I am a class of 2015 graduate of Boston College. I have been brought to the world of tutoring because of my desire to help students through the stressful time of taking those big scary standardized tests. Both the ACT and the SAT gave me a large amount of anxiety when I was a junior in high school and I want to help other students through this process. This desire brought me to tutor kids in the local Boston high schools while I was in college and now I have taken my talents to the Twin Cities.Some fun facts about me not related to test taking are that I played the sousaphone in college, I sing in a local choir and that I can make a mean apple pie.

I am a first-year at Boston College studying political science and international relations on the pre-law track. Through experiences such as youth political conferences, authoring an original political discourse column, tutoring elementary students, and working to expand access to Speech and Debate around Philadelphia I have developed a passion for advocacy, government, and public service. I have taken 11 AP courses such as US Government, Comparative Government, US History, and Macro economics - earning As and 5s on all

Friends and acquaintances have told me on numerous occasions that I would be a great teacher. I've spent my entire career in private industry as both an individual contributor and a manager. Curiosity about a wide variety of subjects has been a part of my life throughout adulthood. While commuting to work, I listened to over 75 college level courses.

Hi, I'm Lilli. I'm an English Reading and SAT/ACT Tutor based out of Brookline, MA. I also have experience working with elementary-age kids in classroom settings.

I am a graduate from Boston College studying Psychology, Pre-medicine and German. During my undergraduate education I tutored in health sciences, English and did extensive general and research paper editing for grammar, content and format.I taught English as a Second Language in Austria from ages 2nd grade through adults and am competent in conversational German and love to share my love of German culture with others.I also am a certified Nurse Practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurse and have experience tutoring in Pharmacology, nutrition, AP, health sciences and nursing specific courses, including NCLEX, ANCC and AANP test prep.I am passionate about sharing my love for learning with others and hope to help students reach their full potential. I hope to work through content together to master concepts. I am flexible with my timing and want to come up with an individualized schedule that meets your needs.

Hi, my name is Andrew and I am currently a sophomore at Boston College. I am a double major in Biology and Philosophy. As someone who has needed help in the past, I fully understand the importance of tutoring. Therefore, my goal is to help students understand any material that they struggle with and help them feel more confident in their own abilities.

Hello prospective students and parents! My name is Sofia Lopez, I am currently a first year graduate student at the Boston College School of Social Work. I am eager to help you get to where you need to be in any of the subjects that I am qualified in. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out at any time. I am excited to start working with you!

I have been teaching high school math and SAT test prep since 2002 and GRE prep since 2008.When I am working with a student, I find it is best to first determine what areas they struggle with. Do they need help with basic concepts? Do they need help, in general, with test-taking? Once I am clear on what areas we need to focus on, we can really start to make progress. I feel that different approaches work with different students. The type of learner a student is will dictate how I can best help them succeed. I enjoy tutoring and interacting with all students whether they are "terrible" at math, or simply need a refresher!

I recently graduated from Boston College with a music major and a chemistry minor. Here, I was a member of the Arts and Sciences Honors Program. Throughout my life, I have possessed a deep affinity for academics, and I love to learn and teach. That is a big reason as to why I am here as a tutor.I have ample experience as a tutor. I discovered my great love for tutoring my senior year of high school, when I tutored several of my peers in Calculus. I tutored throughout my undergraduate years, earning great praise as a chemistry tutor.My main approach as a tutor is to slowly ween my students off of my help. I usually begin the session with an example of myself performing a problem, and then I walk my students through the problem. Towards the end of the session, I challenge my students to act as if I'm the student and have them lead me through a problem.

Dennis Wieboldt is a second-year M.A. candidate in United States history at Boston College. Dennis earned his B.A. summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Boston College, where he was recognized as a Dean's Scholar and Scholar of the College. Among other undergraduate honors, including the Cardinal O'Connell Theology Award and Nicholas H. Woods Award for Student Leadership, Dennis also received the 2022 McCarthy Prize in the Humanities, a distinction conferred upon the best thesis in the humanities by Boston College's Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences.In addition to working with students in U.S. history/politics, I have extensive experience tutoring students in Spanish. I earned the Seal of Biliteracy from the State of New Jersey in 2019, and have since been engaged with youth and adult learners.

I'm a current ungraduate student at Boston College where I am a computer science major; however I'm taking 6 months away from school to spend more time at home down here in Georgia. I have only recently gotten into the field of computer science due to my lifelong obsession with math and up until about 6 months ago I was actually a math major. I'm originally from Montclair, New Jersey and I went to high school in England, but I have really taken to Georgia since my dad moved down here 3 years ago. I love sports in general, but my favorites are football, soccer, baseball, and basketball. I also have a love of video games and video game design, which partially lead to my introduction into computer science. I'm passionate about all of my hobbies and interests and, having grown up with 6 siblings, I am very patient when it comes to learning and teaching. I am available to tutor almost 24/7 and I look forward to working with you!!

I am an actor, artist, and teacher, with my Bachelor’s degree from Boston College, and my Master's of Fine Arts from Brown University. At Boston College, my two majors were in Theatre Arts and Theology, and at Brown, I was a part of a three year conservatory in Acting and Theatre Arts.Over the past few years I have tutored students of all ages, from the middle school level all the way to college undergraduates and even middle-aged professionals. With every student, however, I start with one simple premise: how can we be ourselves as we seek to improve in our subjects? Perhaps my favorite subjects to teach are critical writing and essay coaching, and it is crucial in these areas that we stay true to ourselves, stand behind our opinions, and use language as a powerful and persuasive tool. My job as a tutor is not to tell my students what to think, but to give them the rhetorical tools to express their opinions clearly and concisely. The same premise applies to my reading comprehension and literature tutoring. I want my students to get closer to the writer, to see how they are similar, to understand more about themselves as they work to understand the material. Of course, students should enjoy themselves in all of their academic endeavors, and I like to have fun in my tutoring sessions. As an actor I usually play the role of the fool, so when I’m teaching I like to keep the energy light and fast, while still maintaining a rigorous learning environment.When I’m not teaching or acting I like to spend as much time as possible outdoors biking, hiking, fishing, swimming - you name it, I love being outside. I also really enjoy traveling and adventuring. I've been all over the world. I've lived in Scotland, London, and Sweden, and I've visited Italy, Turkey, Switzerland, Ireland, and Canada. My spirit for adventure also makes me a great geography tutor, and I like to ignite that passion for learning and travel in my students.

I had an interesting career as a broker and then worked in fund management. There, my interest for the academic world grew and I found a passion in learning. I began drifting more into the academic world and then combining my studies with my work life. I enjoy teaching, guide and monitoring people's progress.
