"Hi!

I have 13 years of experience tutoring children of all academic levels through Graduate School and served as the director of a tutoring center, a position I left in 2014 to return to the teaching I love. I hold degrees in both Physics and Philosophy from Grinnell College, completed my graduate coursework in the Philosophy of Religion at McMaster University, have authored solutions manuals for Differential Equations textbooks, edited published academic work and literary journals, and been nominated for a teaching award by my students for a university course on the relationship between science and religion.

I am comfortable helping with all academic areas at the high school level except for foreign languages, all standardized tests including nearly all AP exams, all levels of college Math, Physics, and Writing, and most other subjects through intermediate college level. Graduate level work is possible in some areas.

Additionally, I have developed curricula and individualized programs for PSAT, SAT, ACT, SAT-II, GRE, ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT students, and have helped students achieve admission to both local private high schools and top colleges worldwide. My students show an average increase of 3.4 points on the ACT and 260 points on the SAT, and I have achieved perfect scores on all sections of both tests. Two of my PSAT students have been awarded National Merit Semifinalist awards." less...
