I have been involved in Education and teaching and training in some capacity for over two decades. I have a Bachelor’s degree with a double major in English and Religion, a Master’s degree in Missiology, and a Master’s degree in Secondary Education with a focus in English Language Arts. I have worked in public schools as a teacher, I have worked as a writing tutor on the university level, and I have worked in the private sector as a copy editor, supervisor, manager, server, and countless other jobs. I work to bring real life experiences and applications into my tutoring. It is easier to remember and learn skills when you are able to see real life applications in what you are learning.

I am able to tutor any aspect of English, but my strengths are in grammar and writing. I have taught both AP Literature and AP Language, as well as every level of high school English. I am also able to tutor in religious studies.

One of the aspects of tutoring that I really love is being able to work one on one with the students. In a classroom setting you have to work with 30 students at a time, so you aren't able to really make sure that each student is understanding the lesson and the skill being taught. With tutoring you have the opportunity to work with the student until he/she understands and grasps the concept fully. My goal in teaching is to make sure the student has the mastery of a concept and is not just memorizing facts or formulas. I try to be as informal as possible with a lot of questions and answers, while still holding high academic standards and pushing for excellence in the work that is created.

My schedule is pretty flexible, and I respond quickly. Contact me, and we can get your tutoring session set up ASAP.

Amazing Tutor

Terry really helped me with writing and revising my essay for AP Language. He gave detailed explanations and many great ideas/ suggestions. I would definitely recommend this tutor!

Emmy, 2 lessons with Terry

Knowledgeable and patient tutor that makes learning enjoyable

We recently started tutoring lessons with Terry and have been very happy with the experience so far. He is knowledgeable, patient, and explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. Terry also has a great sense of humor, which makes the sessions engaging and enjoyable. Our child feels comfortable learning with him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and effective tutor.

Great Teacher, Very supportive, Useful Tips

Terry is an excellent teacher. I only had a few lessons with him but they were still very helpful. After I attempted practice questions and writing paragraphs, he helped me identify the common mistakes that I make. He then provided me with strategies and formats that I used on the AP literature exam. Furthermore, he is really great at explaining concepts and really kind.

Sierra, 4 lessons with Terry

Great teacher!

Terry is the best AP Literature teacher my daughter has ever had. After just one lesson, she already feels much more confident. He continues to provide thoughtful feedback on her paper even after the lesson, which has been incredibly helpful. She will definitely continue taking lessons with Terry. Thank you, Terry!

Highly Professional and Effective

Terry was very patient and professional. He worked with my son over a few days to prepare for his audition, and there was a tremendous improvement in his performance. As a result, he earned a role in the play. I would definitely refer a friend and will use Terry’s services again in the future.

Great teacher!

Terry provides great insights that drastically helps with writing/editing essays and brainstorming. The sessions were really productive and he took time to answer my questions with well thought out responses.

Arushi, 5 lessons with Terry

He helped a lot! Great writing teacher for teenagers

He talked about the problems of my son's writing habit like poor vocabulary and misunderstanding of readings. I think if my son keeps meeting him his writing skills and thinking skills can be improved.
