"I'm Ryan! I graduated with my MA degree in History (magna cum laude), with a BA in History and Law and minor in International Relations. I have published in peer-reviewed academic journals and received an independent foundation research grant. I am currently pursuing a PhD-track MA in History of Philosophy and Religion.

I'm a passionate educator with over a decade of full-time tutoring experience working with middle and high school students from across the country, university students across the world, and young professionals. I believe that my job is to help you or your child unlock the best learner within to succeed in better understanding, planning, and completing the assignment.

My experience as a graduate student has taught me that the most important thing for an educator is to make the material as engaging and comprehensible as possible, and to leave room for meaningful questions.

I believe in making the learning process as engaging as possible. I specialize in creating individualized education plans (IEPs) tailored to students' goals and needs. My approach is a structured one that is goal-oriented and can be adjusted according to feedback.

I have developed expertise in tutoring dozens of students in five main areas:

1) The College Applications process (including ACT and SAT prep, AP exam prep, essay composition, and interview coaching)

2) College humanities coursework (especially History, English, Literature, Spanish, Political Science, Philosophy, Psychology, International Relations, etc.)

3) English language acquisition and fluency

4) Graduate School applications, as well as professional specialist applications such as Law School or Medical School

5) Professional development, including time management, organizational skills, and public speaking coaching

I would welcome any feedback so that I can be most effective in helping you meet your goals! I am easy to contact, and will respond quickly. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a session today!" less...
