Welcome.

I am a jack-of-all-trades tutor with a PhD from Vanderbilt University. I am a fun, accessible, and effective teacher! Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions; see below for a sample list of my subject areas.

ACT AND SAT TUTORING

I provide my students with updated and effective guidance for the ACT and SAT reading, writing, and language exams. We practice using recent exams and we hone holistic test-taking strategies. You will come away with greater reading and writing proficiency and precision, and broader vocabulary. I can help you achieve a perfect or greatly improved test score. I myself scored in the 99th percentile for these exams, and I would be happy to help you do the same.

COLLEGE COUNSELING AND ADVISEMENT

For several years I served as Director of Undergraduate Studies and Undergraduate Advisor in the Humanities Department where I work. I have experience helping scores of students represent themselves effectively "on paper," and in interviews. I also know a lot of people, including academics, who received their degrees from Oxford and Cambridge, so I can give you some advice about applying to those institutions.

PHILOSOPHY

I have my PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University. I am currently a professor of philosophy teaching in New York. I am able to help you understand philosophical concepts and arguments, review for exams, read and interpret philosophical texts, and write philosophy papers.

BUSINESS

I have helped people in the corporate world structure their public presentations and develop their public speaking skills. My expertise in philosophy enables me to help you clarify the content of your argument and logically organize your presentations.

WRITING

I have high-level training writing pedagogy. I can help no matter what the subject, even if I have not read the book or article on which you are working.

OTHER

I tutor in areas including Biology, Literature, and American History.

History

Anthropology,

Anthropology

My main area of expertise is philosophy, I have my PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University, but I was trained in anthropology departments at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Anthropology historically draws on philosophy for its theory. I am always researching anthropological texts since I teach lots of philosophical texts (for example, Nahuatl poetry) whose context is mostly explained by anthropology. I am definitely equipped to help anthropology students write and theorize about their subject, and have had over 10 years of teaching experience at the college level helping students of all subjects with their writing and their theorizing.
