"Hi, I'm Pete - a high school English teacher, a graduate student in Secondary English Education, and a firm believer that learning should never be boring. If you're looking for a tutor who can make Shakespeare feel relevant, essays feel manageable, and test prep feel human — you've found the right guy.

I specialize in:

English Language Arts (grades 7–12)

Essay Writing & Revision

Literary Analysis (with Hamilton, Macbeth, and memes)

Rhetorical Strategy & Logical Fallacies

Test Prep: EOC, SAT/ACT Verbal, AP Lang/Lit

Whether your student needs help decoding symbolism, leveling up their writing voice, or finally understanding how to outline an argument, I tailor each session to meet them where they are. I’m especially skilled at working with neurodivergent students and those who feel overwhelmed or "stuck" in traditional classrooms.

I’ve helped students:

Go from struggling to confident in essay writing

Find their unique voice — on paper and in class

My style is patient, practical, and a little offbeat (expect the occasional analogy involving dragons, Broadway musicals, or retro tech). Above all, I care deeply about student success and know how to translate school-speak into strategies that actually work.

Let’s make learning make sense — and maybe even make it fun." less...
