English Tutoring

I have a doctorate in Comparative Literature, so I have spent years both studying and teaching literature. Part of my focus in graduate school was on literature of the United States and Britain, so I am particularly familiar with those areas. I also emphasized writing skills throughout the courses I've taught at the college level.

History Tutoring

As an undergraduate I was a political science major which gave me a strong foundation in history. In graduate school my literary studies were largely focused on historical events to my knowledge of both American and global history has grown tremendously in the past few years. My doctoral research project required as much historical research as literary research.

Literature Tutoring

As a professional literary scholar I have a unique familiarity with literature. Since I studied comparative literature, I am versed in both American and global literature. I spent seven years studying literature at the University of Texas and consider it to be my specialty.

Philosophy Tutoring

While I did not formally study it in graduate or undergradute school, philosophy has always been a focal interest in my studies. During college I earned a minor in an area of studies focused on philosophy. In graduate school, for instance, my masters thesis discusses the relationship between philosophy and fiction in the work of a Brazilian author.

Political Science Tutoring

My undergraduate major degree is in political science, so the majority of my undergraduate course work was devoted to this subject. My doctoral dissertation also heavily involved global politics.

Portuguese Tutoring

Reading Comprehension Tutoring

Aside from my constant scholarly work involving reading and writing, I have tutored extensively on reading comprehension skills, particularly in preparation for the ACT test.

Furthermore, my literary studies are constantly related to religious themes and ideas as understanding much of western literature requires considerable knowledge of Christianity.
