About Me

I am a passionate advocate for education and believe that, while not every student can excel in every academic discipline, most students can achieve proficiency in nearly every subject. I have a background in Humanities, including History, Social Sciences, Philosophy and comparative religion. I have tutored students in Geometry, Pre-Algebra, Biology, English, Religious Studies, Reading Comprehension, Writing improvement, and other topics. While not working, I play board games with my son and enjoy reading and writing about philosophical, social, and political topics.

Hobbies & Interests

board games, visiting historical sites, reading, movies

Q&A with Andy

I believe that Bloom’s Taxonomy is important to all areas of education. It is important that students learn and understand the significance of historical events that our society may be strengthened by their good citizenship. I believe classroom management is important to the successful educational process. It is important that a teacher is a role model and treat students with respect, and in return to have high expectations for the way students treat them. It is also important that a teacher be accessible to his students and able to relate to them on an individual basis. I believe that classroom should be student centered and constructivist in nature. Constructivism provides the student with a far greater grasp of the subject matter than traditional teacher centered instruction. I believe that, despite my relative inexperience, my strong desire to see my students succeed and ability to learn quickly will help me provide the environment conducive to excellence. I believe that it is important students learn that every issue has an opposing viewpoint. Only by seeing more than one side of an issue can you be truly informed and educated about a subject. It is important that students are able to understand the importance of patriotism, function in a free enterprise society, and appreciate the basic democratic values of our state and nation.
