"I am a university professor of philosophy with more than 17 years of experience teaching students the critical, analytical, and expressive skills that are tested on the SAT and ACT reading and writing sections. I taught my first class at Cambridge University, then taught for 7 years as a PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin, and have taught as a professor for the last 10 years at Boston College.

I am a passionate teacher with the skills to teach any student how to improve their writing, reading and critical thinking. My student evaluations have consistently established me as the highest-rated professor in my department, with 75% rating me "excellent" and another 20% rating me "very good." I offer tutoring in person for a base rate of $100/hr, or online for $75/hr. I also offer lesson packages at a discount - contact me for more details!

I work carefully with students to improve their ability to comprehend complex readings and arguments, to recognize a thesis and the textual passages that support it, and understand the best grammatical choices to express ideas clearly.

The nation's top colleges recently pledged to revise their application requirements to emphasize the "daily ethical engagement" and "genuine character" of the applicant. I can help you navigate these new requirements. I am an expert in college admissions with years of experience teaching students how to comprehend the college admissions process and how to get the most out of college. I am a published author with a book on college admissions, currently under review by Macmillan Press." less...
