Experience
I was for 15 years on the faculty at Boston University, in several departments. I taught writing, religious studies, history, and history of science. I taught college students, graduate students, you name it. I decided to quit BU because the administration and most of the faculty don't seem to care about teaching or learning, only about showing off their research and grants. Publications: 2 academic monographs, 2 edited volumes, 10 peer-reviewed articles Rather dated now, but if you care: SATs: 800/800 (in 1988) GREs: 800/780/800 (in 1992)

Hobbies
Hobbies: Cooking, classical music, novel-writing Interests: Interested in more or less everything My principal interest as a tutor is to bring my extensive professional knowledge of college-level humanities and social-science coursework to your preparation work. Whether you're in college now or getting ready, your knowledge of high school will not take you far. College is another world. College professors do not usually know much about high school demands or practices, and they assume you will have the same goals they themselves do -- which is rarely if ever true. I can teach you how to retool and reorient your skills so they become maximally effective at college.
