MY BACKGROUND -
I have taught Liberal Arts courses online and in hybrid formats for Umass Global (formerly Brandman University) for over 11 years. I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses. I have also worked in Academic and Public libraries for over 17 years. Throughout this time many of the instruction for English related papers and academic research has been a focus of my professional career.

I have a Bachelor's in History 2006 from Cal State San Bernardino and I achieved my Masters in Information Science from San Jose State University in 2012. While working on my Master's degree I also served as an online peer mentor during my degree helping new students to distance education.

I have served in three different public libraries as an adult librarian, I've served in two different community colleges and currently working as a UMass Global Adjunct Faculty member teaching Liberal Arts instruction. The courses I teach focus on Adult Education & Student Success Strategies

MY CONNECTION WITH ONLINE INSTRUCTION -
I took my first online course in 2001 and have been adept at working through course management systems such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Angel.

MY COMMITMENT TO STUDENT SUCCESS -
I have assisted thousands of students over my professional career.

As an academic librarian and researcher, I enjoy helping students succeed. My specialty is in APA instruction and the use of library databases and library tools to find research material and peer-reviewed journals. I am an expert APA writer and proofreader.

While I do serve high school students as well, I pride myself in my connection to andragogy, adult education and helping adult students achieve the potential in their classes. I am here to assist students through my knowledge of undergraduate and graduate requirements for higher education.

Highly Recommend

I am a first year nursing student and have been struggling with APA format. John was very quick to respond to my request for assistance and was able to help me the same day! I highly recommend as he took the time to really explain everything and why things are supposed to go a certain way. John even sent me extra resources to use after our session to help me with formatting. After trying out many tutors on Wyzant, John was the most effective and I will definitely be using him again in the future! Thank you!

Knowledgeable and Skilled Tutor!

John was such a friendly and easy person to talk with and he helped me learn new tricks in formatting in APA. I would highly recommend John. Because he had such an outgoing and fun personality it made working on my long dissertation enjoyable.

APA paper review

This is the second paper John has reviewed for me. I received an A on the first one, no doubt partially due to his suggestions. I will be requesting his help again for sure!

John helped me with my paper for one of my masters classes for Nurse Practitioner. I haven't gotten the grade back yet but his feedback was awesome and I felt a lot more confident after our session.
