Award-Winning Philosophy Tutors serving Tucson, AZ

...I was accepted to Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UPenn, and NYU Law Schools. I most enjoy tutoring subjects that are distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend...

Since then, I have designed and taught many advanced undergraduate courses at the University of Arizona from the ground up, but my teaching abilities are strong in a one-on-one setting.

I am passionate and committed to education.

"I am so adjective, I verb nouns." I believe relationships are more important than test scores, and people more important that numbers, budgets, or grades. But if we have to play along with this this game, we may as well play with skill.... The guiding question I always ask myself while teaching is, "How can I support students to face their challenges and fears so they can take on cultural activity that awakens rather than anesthetizes...

...and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their...

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.

...Health. I attended Creighton University for my undergraduate education, where I studied physics for two years before switching my major to philosophy.
