I am a graduate of State University of New York at Buffalo where I received my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature with a focus on 20th century Modernist writing and Literary and Cultural Studies. I also have an M.A. in philosophy, with a concentration in modern philosophy (Descartes to Foucault) Since completing my degree, I have taught expository writing and various classes in literature and philosophy at the university level for many years. I have worked in the college tutoring center, and I have also tutored kids privately for ACT and SAT prep in English and writing. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, philosophy, and History. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, yoga, and the odd game of pick-up basketball
