Loren helped my son, a senior in high school, prepare for a philosophy test. He is very flexible with scheduling, knowledgeable about the subject matter, and uses a variety of strategies to help students study. Great tutor!
Saad B.

25 Philosophy lessons

I took her for my philosophy course, and I was not interested in philosophy at all. But, she made it very easy to understand, and she likes to make sure her students comprehend the material as easy as possible. She is also very very very patient with her students: she can say things over and over again which is not all tutors tend to do. If you want to succeed in your classes, take her immediately. She will guide you to the right path for success.
Amanda A.

6 Philosophy lessons

When I found out I was required to take another philosophy course, I was not thrilled. At the midterm, I got a C+ and decided if there was any way to get the Cum Laude I so desperately wanted, I would have to get a tutor to bring up my Philosophy grade (mind you, this was my final semester and I had at 3.49 so every grade mattered). William not only encouraged me and inspired creative thinking, but got me so engaged in Social Justice.
