Hello, I’m Kyle! I graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University with a BA in Philosophy. I also hold an associate’s degree with honors in Political Science. In high school, I learned that nothing makes education more accessible than a great, dynamic teacher. My approach to tutoring is to meet students where they’re at and encourage them along in their learning process by making intellectually complex material understandable. I always make an effort to bring my love of knowledge to tutoring. I firmly believe that social studies and the humanities should be taught in an approachable manner and that English, history, psychology, and philosophy can be exciting and relatable. During my classes, I strive to find opportunities to praise my students’ progress while maintaining a friendly environment that nurtures self-accountability.
I have four years of experience tutoring sixth to twelfth graders in AP European History, APUSH, Political Science, SAT & ACT reading and writing prep, English Language Arts, and college app essay writing. While in high school, I worked as a paid teaching assistant for Band, Jazz Band, and Guitar classes for eighth graders and high schoolers. For the past four years, I’ve taught AP World History, APUSH, AP Gov/Econ, AP Psychology, and World Literature & Composition in high school classrooms. In 2024 I designed and taught my own Intro Philosophy course to twelfth graders at a private school in the Bay Area, and I’m proud that 100% of my seniors were accepted into four-year colleges.
I care about helping students understand academic topics, and hence I’m open to suggestions from parents and students about how to better support my pupils. I am easy to get in touch with, and I make an effort to respond to inquiries in a timely manner. Feel free to contact me with any other questions or to book an initial lesson!
