About Adam

I've been a teacher for more than a decade. I've taught Japanese, History and English (including ESL) at all levels, from kindergarten to university. I've taught online and in-person, in the United States and abroad. I've been tutoring, however, since I was a student and have enjoyed my time working in tutoring labs, writing centers and organizations specializing in test-preparation and college admission. So whether it's introductory or advanced, I look forward to learning with you!

I have a strong basis in the humanities and social sciences. I completed a BA in English Literature and Philosophy, an MA in modern Japanese history and a PhD in World History. I served as English department chair at the high school level for three years and have been teaching college classes for the last eight.

I design tutoring sessions around your learning goals. Provide me with the assignment on which you're working or the skills you're looking to develop and we will focus there. If you're looking for a tutor who will actively listen and modulate instruction based on what you need and want, please write.

Japanese Qualifications

I've been engaged in academic Japanese-language research and education for almost a decade. But before that, I studied the language on my own, enough to test out of lower-level college courses. As a result I'm familiar with a wide range of materials, approaches and methods that I would be happy to share with you.

World History Qualifications

I have completed doctoral-level qualifying exams in the subject, with over 45 graduate-level credit hours in preparation. I've taught the (AP or college-level) course over twenty times, and continue to teach it now. In addition, I have worked on now-published AP-approved instruction materials and grade for the College Board annually.

English Language, Literature, Writing and Proofreading Qualifications

I completed 42 course hours in language, literature and composition classes. After graduating, I taught English Literature and Language/Composition grades 9-12, honors and AP. I've also tutored reading and writing for over a decade. In terms of proofreading/editing, I am an external reviewer for a peer-reviewed journal in History.
