Tom

Certified Tutor

I'm a recent graduate of Lehigh University who is extremely excited to begin tutoring. I was initially admitted into Lehigh's school of business and spent a year there before realizing my need to pursue my true passion for English. I graduated in only three and a half years with a Bachelor's degree in English as well as a minor in creative writing. Through my time at school I have peer edited countless papers, critiqued works of fiction, and written a considerable amount of my own material.

Throughout my whole life I have spent much of my spare time reading books or writing creatively. My expertise is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs- how to create them, decipher them and think about them. If you have any problems with math, please do not consult me! Anything more advanced than multiplication tables is completely out of my jurisdiction. However, any struggle with the English language is firmly within my ability to remedy!

I take a strong academic and social interest in global events, history, psychology, and much more. I constantly search for new information and am an avid learner with regard to both people and subject matter. I have a great deal of energy and am at times an irrepressible joker; some might say a class clown. When I am not in the classroom you are likely to find me playing soccer (played club soccer at Lehigh), basketball, or working out in the gym to ensure my health and fitness. I also love hanging out with my friends, listening to music, watching movies, and going for walks in the great outdoors.

One thing that I am an expert in is connecting with people in order to make learning fun. I seek to foster a focused yet relaxed learning environment for my students in which their greatest academic potential can be realized. I am as fresh out of the hoop jumping competition of high school, standardized testing, and a prestigious university as it gets- and I want to help young adults who are in the same position that I've just been through in any way that I can.
