Salve! (Sahl’-vay) - Hello in Latin!
My name is Dylan and I have over 15 years of tutoring experience helping learners of all ages (8-70) reach their learning goals.

Professionally, I’ve worked as an educator for over 20 years. As a K-12 teacher in school and learning center environments, I’ve taught English, Math, Latin, and Music and mentored a team of tutors. I’ve successfully worked with students one-on-one and in small groups, both in person and online.

*English - Grammar, composition, essay writing, public speaking, and PowerPoint presentations.
*Math - Pre-algebra, algebra I, and geometry.
*Latin - Elementary and middle school Latin basics (grammar, pronunciation, historical phrases, and Latin hymns). For high school students I’ve taught complete Latin programs. Several of my students have earned gold and silver medals in the National Latin Exam.
*Music - Theory, ear training, singing, Gregorian chant, and how to play guitar for K-12 students and adults.

In the corporate world, I’ve worked as a certified computer trainer to teach adults Microsoft Office skills.

I am a liberal arts graduate of Thomas Edison State College in NJ and studied Music Education and Gregorian Chant at the Catholic University of America Graduate School. I earned a certificate in Minor Orders from St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, where I studied Philosophy, Theology, and Latin. And I studied music theory, ear training, composition, and classical guitar at the Mannes College of Music in New York City.

My professional certifications include Learning and Development (APTD), Project Management (CAPM), Change Management (Prosci), and Mental Health First Aid (Adult and Youth). I am also a certified Health and Wellness Coach.

I take a student-centered approach when I tutor and help students use SMART goals when completing lessons.

Feel free to contact me with any questions to help decide if I’m the right fit for you. I look forward to connecting with you.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I am a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and can help with challenges related to ADHD and neurodiversity. My approach with students is to identify strengths and areas of growth and then make a plan aligned with their goals to build confidence and sustainable habits. Study skills, organization, and time management are a few sample areas of executive functioning I've helped adults and children with for 15 years. I assist with academic subjects and career development through a neurodiverse-informed lens.
Career Development

Career Development

I have coached high school students and adults in career planning and skill building for 10 years. One key area I have worked on with students is effective resume and cover letter writing that gets the attention of hiring managers. Another key area I've helped with is the interview process and the skills needed to be successful when fielding questions. Helping students identify their interests and set SMART goals to move forward is central to my approach in my career development tutoring and coaching.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have tutored students in K-6 Math for over 15 years one-on-one and in small groups. A key focus in my sessions is making sure students have a strong foundation in key facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Repetition and memorization is an integral part of each lesson. I take time to help students master "how" they get an answer--to help them prepare for pre-algebra. I look forward to working with you!

Guitar

Guitar

I have played, performed, and taught guitar for many years. My guitar studies include classical guitar at the Mannes College of Music in New York City as well as private studies with Irish guitarist Eamon O'Leary, 7-string guitarist Eddie Decker, and the late jazz master, Bucky Pizzarelli. As a teacher, I help students develop their left and right-hand skills and musicianship so they can bring music to any gathering. Every one of my students leaves their first lesson knowing how to play their first chord (or two)! Guaranteed.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I homeschooled my children for 10 years and also tutored children from other homeschool families in K-12 subjects: English, Math, Science, History, Music, and Latin. I've worked with leading homeschool curricula and have helped students with study skills, time management, and test-taking skills. I'm flexible and can help customize lessons for a particular subject according to a student's specific needs. As a parent coach, I've helped homeschool parents with curriculum planning and building effective weekly school schedules.
Latin

Latin

I love the Latin language and studied both classical and ecclesiastical Latin in college. As a tutor, I have over 15 years experience helping K-12 students and adults how to successfully speak, write, and sing Latin while building skills to translate Latin sentences and historical texts. Several of my students have earned gold and silver medals on the National Latin Exam. And I am an advocate of Latin studies as a key step in preparing for professional careers, especially in technology.
Microsoft Word

Experienced project manager, change practitioner, and corporate trainer/documentation specialist with advanced MS Word skills.
Project Management

Project Management

I have worked as a corporate project manager for 20 years and my projects have included eLearning and content development, training implementation, and technology migrations for the automotive, retail, and healthcare insdustries. I hold a Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI), and I'm also a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner. I look forward to helping you with certification test preparation and growing your project management skills!
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I studied public speaking in college and have delivered hundreds of presentations for small and large groups in business settings. As a speech tutor, I've worked with high school students and adults to help them prepare and deliver speeches while coaching them on confidence in their delivery. I can also help you with PowerPoint slides if necessary. I look forward to helping you!
Religion

Religion

My interest in Religion led me to pursue a Certificate in Minor Orders (Litterae Ordinationis) from a Catholic seminary where I studied the origins of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and the nature of liturgy and religious practices/spirituality. I obtained a corporate certificate in Leading with Cultural Competence, with an emphasis on the religious foundations of modern-day international cultures. I have worked as a K-12 and Adult Religion teacher in Catholic schools, homeschool groups, and churches for over 20 years.
Video Production

Video Production

I have developed and managed video production projects as a Senior Project Manager and Instructional Designer for 20 years. I have worked on the entire development lifecycle, from storyboarding to exporting a finished video file. Video tools I’ve used include Camtasia and Sony Vegas and for audio I’ve used Adobe Audition, Audacity, and Presonus Studio One. I look forward to helping you with your next video project!
