English Tutoring

I was a strong English student in high school and was more passionate about creative writing than anything else. I was also a very skilled essay writer and credit a piece I wrote about my sweet tooth connection with my grandmother, suffering from Alzheimer's, as what got me into Georgetown. At NYU, I received a masters in Dramatic Writing, which required rigorous reading and writing of all kinds. Today, as a professional writer, I rely on the very skills required to excel in English to make my living.

History Tutoring

I was a History major in college at Georgetown University, concentrating in American History, and received consistently good grades within the department, which has an excellent reputation. In high school, History was my strongest subject. I received all A grades and got a 5 on the AP US History exam. I don't have experience tutoring in History, but I have had rigorous training and retain a strong grasp of the skills, which I still employ today, needed to excel in studying it.

Italian Tutoring

I am the son of Italian immigrants, and along with my brother, the only American born in the United States. Everyone else in my family is still in Italy, and I proudly hold dual citizenship. While I never formally studied Italian in school, I grew up speaking it at home with my mother and father, who would often begin a sentence in Italian and end it in English. Thus, I am a fluent speaker and have impeccable pronunciation and virtually no accent.

Political Science Tutoring

I majored in Government (Political Science) at Georgetown (3.3 GPA), one of the best programs for the subject in the entire world. There, I had the privilege of learning under and interacting with some of the premiere political scientists in the country.

I believe this has allowed me to retain the mental approach and skill set required to excel in the subject, and combined with my ability as a critical thinker and writer, allows me to tutor students in it.

Being with my fiancee and getting to know her family on frequent trips to Bolivia has fully immersed me in Spanish and raised my proficiency level dramatically. I can now speak Spanish well enough to rely on it exclusively, and would be able to live and work in a Spanish-speaking country without difficulty. Soon, I will be a fluent speaker. Because I learned both in the classroom and through natural, person-to-person interaction, I believe I have the versatility and facility to excel in tutoring Spanish.

Writing Tutoring

I was also a very skilled essay writer and credit a piece I wrote about my sweet tooth connection with my grandmother, suffering from Alzheimer's, as what got me into Georgetown. In college, I double majored in Government and History, which required constant analytical and critical writing. My friends and roommates used to read my essays for pleasure, especially one piece I wrote on Geothermal Engineering for my Environmental Politics class. At NYU, I received a masters in Dramatic Writing, which required us to write hundreds of pages per semester, in addition to analyzing and constructively critiquing our peers' work in an intimate workshop environment. Today, as a professional writer, I rely on my writing skills to make a living, and take great pleasure in building the skills of other budding writers, which I do on a daily basis.

While I don't have exhaustive tutoring experience on Reading Comprehension, I received a 730 on the Reading section of the SAT and relied upon my critical reading skills as a History and Government major at Georgetown (3.3 GPA), during my masters studies at NYU (3.95 GPA), and in my career as a professional writer and analyst of other writers' work. Thus, I have a firm grasp of all the strategies and cognitive approaches to reading effectively.

I have some strategies and secrets for success that I've learned from favorite past teachers that I would be eager to share with my students.

Homework Coach Tutoring

As someone who never had a tutor or homework coach while in school, I had to essentially self-tutor and design my own study plans. I became very adept at solving my academic challenges by compartmentalizing, identifying each problem and breaking them down into individual tasks, which I then isolated and solved. I coached neighbors and family friends on their homework in high school, and also helped kids after school while working for the Huntington Learning Center in Washington D.C. while I attended Georgetown.

Middle School Math Tutoring

Because I use these skills on a daily basis as a professional writer, I believe I can teach them to a student with ease.

I used this mental approach to study for my SAT and AP exams, which I excelled on (SAT: 730 Reading, 760 Math, 790 Writing = 2280 total; AP Bio: 4, AP BC Calculus: 4, AP Spanish Literature: 5, AP US History: 5). In college, I relied on my strong study skills to handle an exhaustive double major, and in grad school, compartmentalized in order to be able to write 30-40 pages on multiple projects per week.
