Approved Subjects

Architecture

Architecture

I have recently worked in the field of architecture at a Boston-area firm, with skills in programming, drafting, marketing, and other areas; I have also tutored in broad fields, from conceptual to modelmaking. I have completed a drafting course at Boston Architectural College and the architecture track in the Career Discovery summer program (2014) at Harvard School of Design. Highly skilled with conceptual and modeling tasks; also conversant in related philosophical/critical literature.
Philosophy

Philosophy

I have taught at a top ranked college and elsewhere on philosophical issues; political philosophy a specialty.
Political Science

Political Science

Between 2008 and 2011, and again in Fall 2014, I taught legal studies at Amherst College with an emphasis on political concerns. My doctoral dissertation was half on political science topics, and I am extremely well versed in much related research up to the present. As a teacher at Amherst, I have extensive classroom and one-on-one experience helping students to understand and use these concepts. I am also published in academic journals that produce research on political science topics.

Very talented tutor

The progress that you can accomplish in just one session with Ethan is remarkable. He listens to you and he will help you with any paper, idea or project that you are stuck with! Don't hesitate to sign up with him.

Knowledgeable tutor

We went over multiple logical reasoning techniques in my LSAT PowerScore book that I provided. I fill out questions beforehand and we go over the ones I got stuck on to give me a better understanding of the subject.

YAEL, 1 lesson with Ethan

Extremely patient tutor.

If I don’t understand a concept, Ethan won’t move onto the next problem unless I completely understand the material. He walks me through LSAT examples step by step and challenges me to come up with answers on my own before I see the answer choices so that I’m thinking independently and critically.

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ethan helped me so much with my paper. Before working with him I was very confused on the topic, and didn't even know how to start on the paper. As we started working, the information seemed to click with me right away. Ethan does not just tell you the information, he guides you to re-read and understand it with his help.
