I specialize in English, writing, essay writing, grammar, proofreading, literature, reading comprehension, and vocabulary, along with ACT English, ACT Reading, SAT Reading, SAT Writing, and PSAT test prep.

I also tutor math from elementary math through calculus, including algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, prealgebra, precalculus, and trigonometry, plus ACT Math and SAT Math. In addition, I hold a 120-hour Advanced TEFL certificate and regularly tutor ESL/ESOL, TOEFL, and IELTS students.

Other subjects I tutor include GED prep, TEAS, elementary education (K-6th, math, and science), American history, psychology, public speaking, and study skills. I hold a BA in Religion from Davidson College with graduate coursework at Asbury Theological Seminary, and also tutor Bible studies, religion, and Greek.

My approach is patient and structured: I meet you where you are, explain the reasoning behind concepts rather than just the steps, and build a study plan you can use independently between sessions. I respond quickly and tailor every session to how you learn best. Message me and let's get started.

I have over 100 hours of test prep tutoring experience, including 10 hours of ACT English teaching experience.

American History

American History

In college, I earned a B- in American History and an A in African American History (from colonialism to Reconstruction). Also, I enjoy watching various history documentaries in my spare time. The key to doing well in this subject is focusing more on the significance of the events instead of just memorizing the dates. If you do this, you will find that it becomes easier to memorize the dates.

Grammar

Grammar

I've tutored students from the preparatory English level up to the English composition level. As a result, I have developed a set consulting method based on tutoring experience, writing experience, and formal counseling training. This method enables me to target critical areas for any given student, strengthen them, and provide resources for practice. More specifically, I seek to strengthen these areas: structural coherence, syntactical subordination and coordination, transitions, word choice, setting off non-essentials, varying sentence structures, correlating conclusions with essay purpose, and much more.
Greek

Greek

In undergrad, I took three semesters of Attic Greek and one semester of Koine Greek. In grad school, I opted out of Greek courses after successfully passing the competency test.
IELTS

IELTS

Having contracted with an IELTS prep company in China, I am very familiar with this exam. Plus, I'm the ideal tutor for English learners due to my experience teaching native speakers in a college setting, In addition to this, I currently work with over 50 English learners per week.
Literature

Literature

I have over 500 hours of literature tutoring experience. More specifically, I have helped students analyze various short stories, poems, plays, and novels, including (but not limited to): "A Rose for Emily," "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," "The Glass Menagerie," Romeo and Juliet, The Iliad, The Odyssey, and more.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I tutor Prealgebra regularly and use kinesthetic teaching techniques to help students concretize the abstract concepts. I love Prealgebra because it seems to be most applicable to a large part of daily living.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have been teaching precal for 4 years now. Teaching this subject involves the ability to explain limits and advanced trig concepts. Given my mastery of precal, I placed out of a calculus class for my computer science degree.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I have over 100 hours of editing and proofreading experience. I have worked on the following types of documents: theological journal article, statistical journal article, autobiography, and more. When I assist someone with editing (or proofreading), I also try to educate the person to help him or her become more self-sufficient.

I already have my certification in SAT tutoring, tutor math regularly, and have extensive experience in tutoring English/English Essay Writing. Also, I have a substantial amount of test prep tutoring experience.
Psychology

In college, I took introductory psychology, child development, and organizational development (a branch of IO psychology). In graduate school, I have taken counseling theories and interventions, psychology of religion, family crisis counseling and interventions, pastoral care counseling, and couples counseling. I am currently a third of the way through my Master's of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy degree.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I've taken two classes on oral communication: Introduction to Principles of Oral Communication and Foundation for Proclamation. I took the former in undergrad and spoke at many occasions, including an alumni-filled scholarship dinner, fraternity events requiring presidential address, and church internship events. I took the latter while in graduate school, leading up to my first sermon on Good Friday, 2012.
Reading

Reading

I have tutored various developmental reading, ESL reading, and test prep reading students for the last four years. Plus, I am great at teaching students how to justify their selections when answering reading comprehension, multiple choice questions.

SAT Math

SAT Math

I tutor math regularly and earned a B- in multivariable calculus. In addition, I have also completed a few SAT prep modules. I teach students vital concepts and test-taking skills in order to help them maximize their scores.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I have been helping students prepare for various standardized tests for 8 years. Not only have I helped students with SAT Reading, but I've also tutored students in ACT Reading and TEAS Reading. Moreover, I've helped primary school students to pass various state-level reading comprehension tests.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I'm currently employed by ETS and have over 40 hours of SAT Writing rater experience. Given my thorough familiarity with this topic, I am an ideal candidate for helping students prepare for this section of the SAT. Moreover, I help students achieve desired results by showing them how to organize their essays according to Aristotle's Means of Persuasion and general text-based reasoning heuristics.
Spelling

Spelling

The key to spelling is just rote memorization, but understanding word etymology is also a plus. Many of our English words come from Greek, Latin, and various Germanic languages. I recommend using an unfamiliar word within a practical sentence in order to help with the memorization of it.
Study Skills

Study Skills

Having completed close to 5,000 tutoring sessions over the last four years, my hypothesis is that most people who need tutoring are tactile learners, especially since classrooms tend to favor visual and auditory learners more. I use neuro-linguistic programming analysis to determine each student's learning style preference and then adapt my approach accordingly. Also, I teach students how to study most effectively according to their learning style preference. With respect to educational background, I pull from my child development and counseling courses to conduct assessments and analysis. Because of this approach, I am able to help most people to become more self-sufficient within 2-3 sessions.
TEAS

TEAS

I've been helping people prepare for the TEAS for 8 years now. In that time, I have helped many students to get the scores necessary to enter their desired programs. On average, at least 2 people reach out to me about helping them with the TEAS every month.
TOEFL

TOEFL

I have assisted countless ESL/ESOL over the last four years as an internal tutor at a local college. I break down concepts in such an easy-to-understand way that many of my ESL/ESOL return for further assistance. I enjoy making abstract concepts accessible and practical for the average person, which is optimal while assisting a non-native speaker.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I've been teaching trig for over 4 years and have helped numerous students to pass their classes. Also, because I have mastered trig, I placed out of a the calculus class for my new computer science degree that I'm pursuing.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

My training in Greek and Biblical Hebrew has given me the foundation for studying and memorizing word etymology, a sub-field within linguistics. I could help students increase their vocabulary by teaching study techniques for linguistics.
Writing

Writing

I have logged well over 2,000 hours of writing tutoring experience in the last 5 years. I am successful at teaching this topic because of my masterful ability to help students articulate their thoughts in academically meaningful ways. Also, I help students achieve results by assisting them with the planning, composition, and review stages of the writing process; and am adept at APA, MLA, and Chicago formatting.

He is very thorough and does a very good job in explaining to me what to look for. I highly recommend him. Thank you Anthony!
