Peter

Certified Tutor

The most important lesson my parents imparted in me was to never stop looking for opportunities to learn. I hold a Masters in Visual Arts from Auckland University of Technology, a Masters of Sciences in Chinese Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and a Bachelor of the Arts with a double major focus in Chinese Studies and Human Development from the Evergreen State University. Although I am a staunch believer in lifelong learning, I always aim to impart in my students the importance of learning as a vehicle for enriching both themselves and those around them: rather than secluding in the proverbial ivory tower, students should be empowered to be the rising tide that lifts all boats with them. I specialize in teaching English literature, ESL, world and US history, drawing and painting, art history, standardized test prep, and effective crafting of personal statements for college applications.
