Preston C.
Private tutor in Yonkers, NY
Education
M.A., Phliosophy, Miami University, Oxford, OH, expected May 2018 B.A., dual-major Philosophy & English Language & Literature summa cum laude, Weber State University Ogden, UT I had a 4.0/4.0 in both of my undergraduate majors.
Experience
English Language & Literature, Philosophy, History, Mathematics, and Guitar are my strongest areas, but I can help with any class that I have taken and the surrounding subjects I study independently. Classes marked with (*) are classes I am currently taking: I will update them with a final grade as I finish the course. Throughout most of my B.A. I was a professional Writing Consultant and Tutor with the Writing Center at WSU. During the last two years I was a Supplemental Instructor for the Philosophy Department, which is essentially a lesser TA position dedicated to helping students succeed in the course and learn the course material. I really enjoy teaching and thinking about many subjects, and having worked in two professional tutoring positions through my University, I have completed and received numerous trainings and certifications covering areas of pedagogical theory and practice.
