Fun Facts
Basketball fan at the professional level and play whenever I can. I also enjoy reading and cooking and am teaching myself how to play the guitar. Generally speaking I enjoy challenging myself and exploring new aspects to my hobbies and perfecting my abilities.
About Me
I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a B.A. in Historical Studies and a minor in Political Science. I am currently law school at Texas Tech.
Experience
The Humanities students at UTD were a fairly close group and our classes obviously overlapped to an extent. I assisted peers who had taken similar classes to me with a fundamental grasp of the material. In addition, I spent a great deal of time studying for the law school admission exam (LSAT) and assisted those who were just beginning the study process.
Approach
I believe a singular approach to tutoring is an incorrect one. Everybody learns differently and to access their potential, it is imperative to understand their thought process, what is motivating them, etc. I tailor my approach to the individual student and ensure that constant progress is being made and that no time is wasted.

Historical Studies
Communication Tutoring
Developed from the courses of Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communication, Communications Ethics as well as a variety of group presentations and outside work experience dealing with clients in an office setting. Communication more than anything is an innate interest of mine and something I have taken fond interest to over the years.
English Tutoring
English serves as a basis of expertise for me, given the nature of my major (Historical Studies) and elective courses (Literature and Political Science). This field includes requisite skills such as critical thinking and articulate writing. Has been further developed from my studies in preparation for the law school admission test.
History Tutoring
Acquired a B.A. in Historical Studies at The University of Texas at Dallas. Areas of focus include pre-Revolutionary War, the Enlightenment and the Holocaust. Learned how to craft essays with a direct thesis and relevant supporting material to bolster the primary argument brought forward.
Literature Tutoring
Took a variety of Literature courses as electives throughout my undergraduate degree including Literary Analysis and Contemporary American Literature for which I received high marks in both courses. Learned tangible skills such as poetry scansion, close reading and essay writing in these courses. Assisted peers in both courses, notably Literary Analysis, in understanding the material and essay writing.
Political Science Tutoring
Acquired a minor in Political Science at The University of Texas at Dallas, partially a function of my desire and interest at going to law school. Courses taken include Constitutional Law, Political Theory and Human Rights and Rule of Law. Learned a variety of skills from argument crafting in Constitutional Law to critical thinking in Political Theory.
Writing Tutoring
A vital component of virtually every course I took at The University of Texas at Dallas, from Historical Studies to Literature to Political Science. Am very flexible in terms of either crafting a thesis from text or following a specific prompt and recalling information. Developed the ability to write concise but supported and articulate papers from the courses mentioned.
