SUMMERLIN TUTORS

​Having served in the U.S. Army straight out of high school, I was lucky enough to attend the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA where I learned Modern Standard Arabic. After serving in the first Gulf War, I attended college at the University of California, San Diego where I majored in Linguistics and minored in English. I have taken many masters-level literature courses at UNLV where I also did my graduate work for an M.S. in Educational Psychology. 

 

I have taught overseas, in San Diego, and in Las Vegas to students as young as third grade all the way up to adults learning ESL. For half my career, I have taught in public schools; the other half I've taught in independent/private schools both at the middle and high school levels.

 

The majority of my most recent teaching experience has been in Summerlin, but I've also taught for CCSD in Henderson and Las Vegas. I am the proud father of a middle schooler! 

 

Honors, AP Lit & Comp, AP Lang & Comp, SSAT prep, and SAT prep are all subjects I've taught and tutored with great success. I love teaching writing, and I always want to feel that I am advancing the student's interests leading to constant improvement. Feedback is not only welcome: I seek it out.
