About Chad

I have more than a decade of experience teaching at the high school and university level for English Composition, Academic Writing, Literature, Latin, and other subjects. I've helped hundreds of students succeed in their courses and on academic tests, including the SAT, ACT, AP/IB, and GRE exams. I also advise on college and graduate school admissions and I will assist you in editing and polishing your Statement of Purpose and admissions package for competitive schools.

I have both a Ph.D. in English Literature and a Master's of Education degree with an active teaching license. My focus is on literature, writing, and languages, including English, ESL, Latin, French, Old English, Middle English, Old Norse, Introductory Linguistics, and the History of the English Language.

I have been teaching at the university and high school level for more than a decade and I have both a Ph.D. in English and a Master's of Education with an active teaching license.

My teaching method is one-on-one and tailored to the unique needs of my students. We will start off with a free consultation of 20-30 minutes where we meet one another and discuss your goals and subject needs. From there, I will work with you to create a focused curriculum that addresses your weak areas and emphasizes your strengths. Lessons are typically 60 minutes long and conducted over Skype.

I have worked with students from ages 11+, although the majority of my students are in high school and college. I have also worked with adults who are interested in studying English, ESL, Latin, French, Middle English, Old English, and Old Norse.

Test-Prep Strategy Session: $175

If you’re working on your own but want some help getting started, we offer a one-time strategy session with one of our most experienced tutors. It lasts for two hours and discusses your goals, analyzes your strengths and weaknesses, makes recommendations, and establishes a curriculum that you can complete on your own

Language Studies: $50 per session

Due to the frequently long-term nature of language studies, we offer an additional discount for language and ESL studies with us, which is designed specially for web tutoring lessons. This rate cannot be further reduced. Languages we offer include English, French, Latin, Middle English, Old English, and Old Norse.

Discounts:

Package Discounts: We offer a 5% discount on the twenty-session package, which means one free lesson in the package.

Web Tutoring: We frequently offer discounts for web-tutoring sessions, which allows you to connect with your tutor from the comfort of your own home. We’ll use Skype and Google Documents in order to work together on essays, exam preparation, and subject-based lessons. Please contact us for a quote. (Yes, discounts may be combined, except for the group discount below.)

Referral Discount: If you refer a friend who books ten lessons or more (as a package or individually), you’ll each receive a free lesson in tutoring credit.

Extended Session Discount: Schedule any session of 90 minutes or longer and receive $10 off for that session.

Group Discount: If you know other students working on the same subject, bring them with you! We’ll give you each a discount of 10% off per student in the group up to five. So, if you have five students who want to be tutored together, it’s half the price for everyone. (This discount may not be combined with any other discount.)

Policies:

Free Consultation: This is where we meet to discuss your intent and establish a tutoring plan, as well as get to know each other, and it is completely free. These sessions can be conducted in person, but it is often more flexible to do them online or over the phone. They usually take 20 to 30 minutes.

Our Tutoring Guarantee: If you’re not satisfied after your first session, we are happy to offer a complete refund for any unused lessons.

Payment Policy: We ask for payment no later than the time of the lesson, please.

Cancellation Policy: It happens. We do, however, have to charge for lessons canceled with less than 24 hours notice, since we have already set that time aside for you.

Refunds, Transfers, and Expirations: All sessions are non-refundable once purchased, but they are completely transferable. If you wish to transfer your unused lessons to another student, just let us know. The value of all unused sessions expires after one year.
