Ryan

Certified Tutor

As a father of two wonderful children and a wife of 25 years, I find myself able to use experiences in my family to help my students as well. As the head of an educational media company specializing in live group tutoring through strategic partnerships, I am deeply committed to transforming how students engage with and understand academic material.

At the core of my work is the Integrative Total Student Pedagogy, a teaching methodology grounded in empirical research. This approach underscores the importance of providing students with multiple opportunities to comprehend material, enabling them to build robust neural pathways that lead to mastery and practical application of knowledge. My educational journey reflects a dedication to interdisciplinary learning and ethical practice. I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas, a Master of Arts in Theological Ethics from Columbia Theological Seminary, advanced post-graduate studies at the Alden March Bioethics Institute at Albany Medical College, and a Doctorate of Education at Liberty University (ABD).

These experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective on education, blending academic rigor with a commitment to fostering personal and intellectual growth. Motivating, empowering, and educating students lies at the heart of everything I do. I believe that every student has the potential to achieve their goals when given the right tools, guidance, and support. By creating engaging and dynamic learning environments, I strive to inspire confidence and a lifelong love of learning in every student I work with. My mission is not only to help students succeed academically but also to empower them to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways, both inside and outside the classroom.
