"I love working with my students: my philosophy is that I succeed when my students succeed. I'm a big believer in the power of education to shape our lives positively and have been teaching at the university level since 2005. I am a licensed attorney. After clerking at the Indiana Supreme Court and practicing law in Indiana, I became a full-time university professor in 2011. Today I am a tenured associate professor of business law at a respected doctoral research university in the United States. I have been an active law scholar and have taught or conducted research in the other areas in which I'm tutoring. For example, with regard to American History, I have extensive experience in primary source and archival research at the National Archives and Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

My course evaluations over the years have been very positive. I strive to help students learn by explaining complicated ideas in several different ways, by coming to a classroom or tutoring session well prepared, and by showing my students courtesy and respect. I am a patient teacher - through my experiences as a professor and my own time as a student, I understand that different people learn in different ways, and that different topics can be easy or challenging for different people. Of course, I will certainly explain the content of interest and help my students to walk through a given subject; but my goal at the end of a session is for students to know the ideas well enough that they could teach it to others. I can help you in studying (i.e., coming to understand the basics of a subject) and with more advanced aspects of a topic (such as helping you to brainstorm for an essay or by providing feedback on your original analysis of the topic within an essay).

I work with college-aged students (graduate and undergraduate) and with high school students who are preparing for college. I look forward to working with you!" less...
