Education

I just earned my master's degree in Chinese philosophy from Fudan University in Shanghai, China. I completed my undergraduate degree in philosophy at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. I chose to major in philosophy not only for my love of the subject, but because of the opportunities in higher education employment that this field of study offers. At this point, I want to take some time off from active academic study, but I want to stay near academia in the way my qualifications will allow, and tutoring is the best fit

Experience

My teaching experience up to this point consists solely of one-on-one or small group teaching. I spent my last two years in the United States Air Force serving as an instructor and evaluator. This entailed individually training and testing students according to demanding performance standards in a dynamic learning and working environment on and off of U.S. reconnaissance aircraft. For two and a half years during my undergraduate studies, I was an explainer at the Lake Afton Public Observatory in Goddard, Kansas. This position entailed giving public presentations about astronomical objects to patrons of all ages. Finally, I have spent two summers as the Director of Scoutcraft at Camp Pupukea Boy Scout Camp in Haleiwa, Hawai'i. While working in the camp, part of my responsibilities included teaching merit badge classes to up to 15 scouts at a time. I was also required to individually counsel any scouts who needed extra help in any area. Overall, I have roughly 5 years of small group or individual teaching experience.

Hobbies

I count myself lucky in that I have known for a long time that teaching is my passion. I feel "normal" when I'm helping someone else learn. I have spent a few years educating myself to the point where I feel ready to take on the responsibility on a professional level. My other interests include board games, browsing the internet, and thinking about some philosophical question. This is of course not a complete list.
