I have an earned Ph.D. in philosophy (University of Miami, 1996) with professional publications in _Synthese_, _Journal of Medical Ethics_, _Faith and Philosophy_, and other journals. I have over thirty years’ experience teaching philosophy.
I was a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Alabama, where I taught sections in College Algebra (including trigonometry taught from the unit circle).
Verbal aptitude: I scored 99th percentile on the Miller Analogies Test and 98th percentile on the verbal section of the Graduate Record Exam.
Math aptitude: I scored a perfect 800 on the quantitative section of the Graduate Record Exam and 98th percentile on the analytic section.
I have two years’ experience successfully tutoring in SAT and ACT test prep.
I am married and have two grown daughters, both graduates of Georgia Institute of Technology (_cum laude_ and _summa cum laude_).
Learning should be an adventure. I have my students build on what they already know, connecting the new material to what is already familiar to them. That way, students begin understanding how to learn on their own as well as under instruction, gaining more confidence, and having less stress in school.
I enjoy teaching because I enjoy seeing my students acquire competence in a subject and gain self-assurance as they begin doing better on their homework and assessments.
Please contact me through the WyzAnt email system. I am available to tutor on most days and would enjoy meeting with you.

I have a Ph.D. in philosophy. I have studied the Bible for years as a believing Christian and as a professional philosopher. I designed and taught a senior-level college course in Christian philosophy, which, of course, heavily referenced the Bible. I have published two papers on theology in Faith and Philosophy, the journal of the Society of Christian Philosophers. I read Koine Greek, as so can, and do, read the New Testament with reference to the available Greek editions. I have designed and taught several discipleship courses for my local church contrasting biblical precepts with current secular ideologies.
