Private tutor in New York, NY

Education

B.A. Humanities, Philosophy, and Liberal Arts at Vassar College Graduated with Honors GPA 3.76 out of 4.0

Experience

My name is Gus and I'm a recent graduate of Vassar College. One of the aspects I loved most about Vassar was the one-on-one attention I received from my professors and teachers. I would like to pass the spirit of a liberal arts education to my students by challenging them to think critically and expand their minds. The main subjects I am qualified to tutor are Philosophy, English Literature and Composition, Government & Politics, and History. I have developed effective and critical writing skills in all my coursework in college. I can teach my students how to write an persuasive and well-structured essay. Last semester, I wrote a 50 page thesis on photography in New York City. I would also like to help High School students apply for college. I am knowledgeable about the many types of universities and the academic/social cultures that fit different types of people. I remember choosing between Vassar, NYU, UCLA, and UC Berkeley when I received all my acceptance letters. I can help your student choose colleges, think about what they want to study, and write an effective, meaningful personal essay. I am also a singer and an actor. I was in the Ragazzi Boys Chorus in the San Francisco Bay Area from ages 7-18, where I learned discipline, musicianship, and how to work in groups. I continued to sing in college by taking individual voice lessons. Classical music and musical theater are my strengths. I can teach voice and singing skills, as well as basic music theory. I have also acted in many plays and can coach students with monologues and scenes. I am a graduate of the American Conservatory Theater's Summer Training Congress. I also studied Drama at Vassar briefly and took courses in dramatic literature, acting, movement for actors.
