Ph.D., Religion, Emory University (2013) M.A., Theology, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (2005) B.A., History, Taylor University (2002) My career as a tutor began when I was looking for a way to support myself during my graduate studies in the Boston area. After signing on with a local company, I discovered my passion for finding better ways to help students overcome difficulties and achieve their goals. I enjoyed the challenges of adapting content to the individual needs of each student, of pioneering new ways of communicating ideas, and of working closely with parents to ensure that my efforts were effective. Sensing the need for more structure, I later moved to Kaplan. In more recent years, I have tutored independently. Perhaps the most rewarding part of the work is sharing in the success of my clients. Students of mine have increased their cumulative SAT scores by as ma

I had a rendezvous with death between birth and the age of four because I lived in Khartoum, Sudan. It’s possible that I could have been one of many helpless Sudanese boys who were abducted and trained to fight in the twenty-one year long civil war that claimed over two million lives. Several years later, I recognized the seriousness of this fate and how fortunate my family was to safely escape from a tragic reality that plagued so many. We immigrated to the America seeking the American dream in a precarious combination of circumstances—we were poor, however; my brother and sister and I received unconditional love from our parents, an abundance of it. It was this love that helped me through some of my hardest childhood years and it was all I had when my family lived in a one-bedroom apartment on the Southside of Chicago. This was the beginning of several adverse circumstances that I end

The realization that children do well in small group instructional settings, and on an individual tutoring basis, is what I took most from my years in the classroom. My focus is to ascertain the instructional level needed, then instruct for that standpoint. I do not like busywork, but instead look for progress in the individual child. Once the subject is mastered, then it is time to move on to other subjects. The compensation is negotiable depending on the number of children tutored. I also do not set a time frame regarding instruction, as children are individuals, and their learning should be treated as such. I do not like projects, unless it not very complicated, because that would be a singular goal; this fosters learning, and teaches an individual to become broad based regarding the gathering of intelligence. This is how I was taught from an early age, especially from supplementing a
