"Hello, I'm Ryan. I'm an English professor currently teaching Rhetoric and Composition at a four-year university, as well as working as a coordinator at a college writing center. I have extensive expertise in reading and writing skills, supported by a BFA in Literature from Emerson College and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School. Through my work in education, I've guided a wide range of writers as they develop their reading, writing, and analytical abilities. My background in literature and writing allows me to help students approach complex texts thoughtfully and express their own ideas with clarity and confidence.

As a tutor, I focus on meeting students where they are, and I strive to adapt the material based on the individual needs and learning styles of the student. Reading and writing are deeply personal skills shaped by the unique qualities of each reader and writer, and I emphasize helping students engage with these subjects from their own perspectives. Whether you need support with an academic essay, personal statement, research project, test preparation, literary analysis, or reading comprehension, I tailor each session to your goals. My priority is to create a supportive, productive learning environment where students feel capable and motivated.

I look forward to working with you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
