"Are you looking for a tutor with a proven track record of professional and academic success? If so, you can't do better than hiring me. A one-time Oxford University scholar, I am a five-time award-nominated poet, have won various prizes for my work, have received commendations from the likes of Diane Seuss and Maurice Manning, and am the recipient of grants from major national literary organizations, including Poets & Writers, the Authors League and PEN America. Moreover, I hold a terminal MFA in Poetry and Fiction, am a former Internet-publishing executive, am an internationally published journalist and and comic-strip writer, and am the author of four books: The Day the Sun Rolled Out of the Sky (Cy Gist 2010), A Brief History of Woodbridge, New Jersey (The History Press 2019), A Plan in Case of Morning (Vine Leaves 2020), and Post Cards of McHenry County, Illinois (Arcadia 2021). As a student, I scored a 720 out of 800 on the SAT Verbal section, and I scored 720 out of 800 on the GRE Verbal section and 5.5 out of 6 on the GRE Writing section. And I can help you do all this too. The key to, for instance, scoring a 5 on the AP History, Literature and English Language exams (as I have done) is creating mental connections between the facts to form a mental picture.
This is called "Context Learning," and with me as your coach, you can learn to use this powerful tool to achieve success in whatever subject you set your sights on. What's more, I have experience tutoring junior-high and high-school students, as well as proctoring college-level classes. So, suffice it to say, I am comfortable working with both children and adults. I guarantee I can help you master the TOEFL, English, the GRE, the SAT, Reading, Writing, World History, American History, European History, HTML, French, Latin, SEO Marketing, and a host of other topics. So why not give me a try? An introductory session is economical at as low as $35/hour, and my hourly rate becomes even more affordable after the first 10 hours per week!
