...primary language of study for ten years, including theoretical research in college. I'm extremely interested in modern language, and how to turn mechanical textbook understanding into fluency and contemporary usage. (Sometimes textbooks age poorly in how they teach slang.) My pedagogical style is process-based and goal-oriented. I like students to set a goal (or several), collaborate with me on a process to achieve it, and then put the plan into action with individualized methodology and...

...the mold that standard education and testing are designed to cater to. I chose English as my subject to teach and tutor because it is a topic that allows me to get to know my students, to find out what really matters to them so that I can motivate and inspire them based on their own interests. Students are not often addressed personally, or given the information relative to real life scenarios that answers their...

I like literature and performing arts most in life. I tend to incorporate both into classes to blend into textbook work.

I believe in going with the flow of nature. One must walk before they can run and crawl before they can walk.... I like to...

...I get it right. My whole life I have always been the guy on the other side of the table. I am the guy who always gets tutored, and that is why I make a great tutor.

...and willkommen! I am a former college instructor who specializes in philosophy, theology, and the history of the classical world. I love dogs, Roman Stoicism, karaoke, and Jane Austen novels (because that Mr. Darcy is such a dream!). My degrees in both English-Writing and Philosophy have helped my students craft essays that are logical, coherent, precise, and eloquent. Never fear, for after a decade of teaching and tutoring, I still have more awesomeness to give!

...serve as the editor of the opinion section of The Rebel Yell, UNLV's student newspaper. In the past I have tutored Spanish and Japanese language students, but I am actually most passionate about English and reading and would love more experience working with students to enfranchise them with the power of literacy.

Some people love lectures and taking their own notes, while other students need an element of play....

For the educator, teaching involves learning to assess, plan and reassess. Students learn from their teachers as well as from their peers. In...

...their learning. Tutoring should be presented in such a way as to clearly define objectives and expectations from the very beginning I believe students learn most effectively when they are self-directed in their learning. Students want to participate in what and how they are learning. I often take suggestions regarding their interests and how they learn best. I make a conscious effort to know my students by name and have an idea of who they...

...to each students specific needs rather than generalized. Ultimately; I believe that mathematical and scientific concepts are easiest to grasp when presented in a way which connect them to concepts more familiar to students. Implementing this idea into my tutoring style allows students to learn the material in a fun, enjoyable, and creative way. I believe every student has the potential to succeed and it is my job to help you reach your goals!

...covering pretty much every subject in the Common Core curriculum. Substituting also allowed me to expand upon subjects once the material left by the teacher was completed, allowing students the opportunity to ask questions about topics and subjects that interested them.
