My primary areas of study are philosophy and the psychology of human learning. My teaching style reflects my interests; brute memorization accomplishes little genuine understanding. Instead, my approach encourages pupils to think through, question, and process information. That sort of questioning promotes understand of the subject. Facts are useless without systematization. It’s only when facts are processed that they produce something of real benefit to a student. By trying to answer...

Finding Lance through Wyzant was one of the best discoveries I've made for my 17-year-old son, who was looking for additional academic enrichment outside of school and in preparation for college. Lance is a true Renaissance man. His love of literature, philosophy, history, and the arts, along with his seemingly insatiable curiosity and passion for teaching, makes him an extraordinary tutor. His lessons are anything but conventional or boring. My son often compares him to Robin Williams' character in Dead Poets Society, and I can certainly see why. Lance brings such originality, depth, and wisdom to their discussions, while always encouraging my son to develop his own interpretations, challenge ideas, and think independently. Perhaps the most unexpected and rewarding part of this experience has been watching my son develop a renewed interest in subjects he once found rather dry and uninteresting. Thanks to Lance, he's seeing them through an entirely different lens. My son also loves debating with Lance, and I have to admit, I often find myself listening in on their weekly sessions, fascinated by their exchanges, differing perspectives, and the thoughtful ways they defend their ideas. As a parent, I can't think of a better outcome than seeing your child's curiosity sparked, intellectual confidence grow, and genuine love of learning nurtured. Lance has a remarkable ability to bring out the best in his students while respecting their individuality, interests, and unique ways of seeing the world. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Knowledge and very caring tutor
He was very knowledgeable, especially in the topic of logic. He helped me work through many difficult questions that I would never have been able to solve on my own. He is extremely friendly, kind, and approachable. I highly recommend getting help from him in logic and philosophy!!

Very Knowledgable and kind tutor
Helped me review before an upcoming logic exam that I was not confident for at all. He took his time to explain the concepts to me and make sure I understood how they worked and why. This not only helped me feel more confident with my own work but I also helped make an already hard subject easier to grasp and work with. Definitely know what he is talking about and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor!

One of the best tutors I have ever had
Lance tutored me in American Philosophy, a subject which I found extremely difficult. I had multiple lessons with him, and every single lesson I have come away having learned something new, or understood the concepts more clearly. Lance is especially adept at helping with the process of writing philosophy papers. He is attentive, knowledgeable, and considerate. I would highly recommend him as a tutor in the subject of Philosophy.
