I enjoy tutoring, and I'm very good at it; I've also been working with WyzAnt since 2011. I have raised students' SAT scores by as much as 200 points.

Hobbies
I write poetry, play and compose music, and read widely in the humanities. I was an editor for Scientific America Books and other serious publishers for about 30 years, and continue to follow the current developments in cosmology. Thanks to Print On Demand publishing, I have half a dozen books available on Amazon: my collected poetry, a novel, several specialized histories, a reference book on religious holidays and calendars; there are also a dozen books I co-authored as an editor. I have three teenagers at home, whom we have homeschooled; they are actually my major interest in life. I prefer to meet in a public place like a Starbucks; they like tutors and students, and that's just good policy these days. I prefer two-hour sessions. Shorter ones just waste too much time. I can supply references from previous students and/or their parents if you'd like that.
