Hi, I'm Jesse! I'm a fourth-year Philosophy Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm passionate about philosophy and helping students achieve their academic goals.

I have over two decades of experience teaching and mentoring others on various topics. Before beginning my doctoral studies at Penn, I served in the U.S. Army and then worked in finance. I leverage my real-world experiences in the military and in business to make theoretical concepts more relevant and relatable to my students.

I hold an M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania. During my time at Penn, I have been a graduate teaching assistant for undergraduate philosophy and political science courses. In 2021, I received the Penn Prize for Excellence in Teaching by Graduate Students.

I offer one-on-one tutoring in philosophy. I have experience across a range of topics, including ethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of science. I aim to help students understand content, read critically, write clearly, and argue persuasively.

Philosophy is challenging. I specialize in working with students who are approaching philosophy for the first time. I meet students where they are and help them get where they want to be.

Please feel free to contact me with questions!
