Bio

Hi, I’m Andy. I have a Master's and PhD in US history and literature with over a decade of teaching experience at the college level and a certificate in Inclusive & Equitable Teaching.

Hi, I’m Andy. I have a Master's and PhD in US history and literature with over a decade of teaching experience at the college level and a certificate in Inclusive & Equitable Teaching. Some of my favorite things about teaching have been working with students one-on-one when they need extra help or have questions and getting to know them as individuals. I’ve especially enjoyed getting to focus on doing that as a tutor. I have over a year of tutoring experience helping college and high school students with writing, history, and English. I have also worked with students to guide them as they brainstormed, wrote, and edited their college and graduate school application essays.

I know from my experience as a student that teachers and tutors can make the material come alive and create a learning atmosphere that inspires student confidence and success. I make sure that my presentations of new material are always engaging and I go the extra mile to resolve any questions, issues, or concerns students bring me. I am also more than happy to offer moral support and encouragement for students who are feeling unsure of themselves or of their grasp of the material. I am a good listener and enjoy helping students grow and improve their skills as writers and critical thinkers.

I always welcome feedback from students and parents and respond quickly to messages. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you want to schedule a session!

Approved Subjects

African American Studies

African American Studies

My PhD in American Studies specialized in African American history. My research in the field won an award from the African American Intellectual History Society in 2022. I also taught courses that addressed topics in African American history for ten years at the college level.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

In my college courses in English and history, I always made it a priority to help my students improve their writing skills and offered feedback on multiple drafts of their assigned papers. As a result, my students' writing improved significantly over the course of a semester. When tutoring, I have given students guidance and feedback through all phases of essay writing, including brainstorming, drafting, and editing. I've helped students with both essay assignments for their classes and essays for their college applications.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have over a year of tutoring experience guiding students through all phases of work on their personal statements, from brainstorming ideas to proofreading final drafts. I help students come up with possible topics and offer ways to turn their ideas into a writing plan they feel good about. I give attentive feedback on students' drafts to help make sure that their final submission will reflect their individuality and captivate admissions officers' attention.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I am a published author myself with over a decade of experience helping students improve their writing as a teacher and tutor. I have a keen eye for detail and am dedicated to student success.
Sociology

Sociology

My undergraduate degree featured significant coursework in sociology. My areas of specialization for my doctoral degree also included sociological approaches to U.S. political history. Additionally, I have tutored students in sociology and I've incorporated sociological readings, frameworks, and concepts into my courses when teaching.
United States History

United States History

My area of specialization is U.S. history with a focus on the 19th and 20th centuries. For over a decade, I taught U.S. history courses at the college level covering from colonization through the late 20th century. I have enjoyed helping students think and write historically and I am happy to offer in-depth feedback on thesis statements and essay drafts.
