Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm passionate about helping others. Education and self-improvement are among the most important things anyone can do. I develop a personalized series of lessons for my students. With their feedback, we solidify their strengths and target their weaknesses with patience and compassion. Through guidance and skills-based lessons together, we will grow your knowledge efficiently and excitingly.

I have a Bachelor's in Professional Writing from the University of Western Connecticut. I've been published three times and am working on a fourth. I have over ten years of experience as a journalist covering a range of subjects from movies to sports to current events.

I'm a TEFL-certified teacher and trained to create Presentation, Practice, and Production (PPP) and Test-Teach-Test (TTT) lesson plans. I believe using different methods that target specific skills can help set up a healthy foundation of what works and what needs work. Together with my students, I will produce a personalized and productive lesson plan that will engage and enlighten.

Now, in my fourth year of teaching, it has been among the most rewarding things I've done in my life. I've learned how to assist others from elementary school to adults, trying to improve their writing or become better readers.
I've prepared people for major tests like the TOEFL and PSATs. I've taught creative writing, essay structure, reading comprehension, and world history. Whether you are an adult looking to learn and discuss new subjects or a student trying to get an edge in classes. I'm passionate, I'm patient, and I'm encouraging. Those who have applied what they have learned with me have grown into superior students. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to do the same for you!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I would like to thank Andrew so much for the wonderful guidance he has beet providing to my daughter Nithya (a freshman in high school) with her story writing. His patience, constructive feedback, and encouragement have helped her not only catch her mistakes but also gain real confidence in her own voice and imagination. She really gets excited about revising her work under his supervision. He even helped my older daughter who is a senior in high school. He is very knowledgeable and understanding. Nithya writing skills have improved a lot and will look forward for more learning in the future.

Creative Writing

Andrew is a patient and thoughtful tutor. In a short time I’ve learned more from him than I ever expected, and I truly value the way he teaches. Even with two jobs I look forward to our lessons~! They help me stay connected to the creativity that matters most to me. I’m deeply thankful for his understanding, his encouragement, and the respect he shows for my situation. :-)

Great tutor

Andrew is an excellent tutor, and my son has been working with him for over six months. He is incredibly responsible, knowledgeable, and patient. Andrew not only teaches my son how to write better essays but also provides him with valuable strategies on structuring arguments, improving clarity, and refining his writing style. He is always well-prepared and offers insightful feedback that has significantly helped my son grow as a writer. His dedication and ability to adapt to my son’s learning needs make him an outstanding tutor. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive writing tutor.

My 10th grade daughter wants to continue

This is my daughter's first time taking Andrew's class, and she wants to continue taking classes with him in the future. My daughter is from oversea, so she needs to study English and history at the same time, and I think Andrew is the very right teacher for her. Thank you!
