Edward S.

Private tutor in Toronto, Canada

Education

University of Toronto, H.B.A. English Specialist & Philosophy Minor, 3.91/4.00 CGPA, 4.00 English and Philosophy GPA, current.

Experience

No previous tutoring experience, although, I have taken part in many study-groups, which has taught me how to communicate difficult and abstract concepts effectively to other students. My first research essay written at the university was published in an academic undergraduate journal. Additionally, even in first-year, my grader stated that my essay was the best essay he has ever received from a first-year student. I have won numerous scholarships as well, including a writing award. I wish to tutor because learning happens best when infectious. What do I mean by that? Students are most likely to succeed when those instructing them are clearly enthusiastic of the material. Unbridled passion towards the subject-matter will almost always transfer to the student. I have taken an introductory course into literature, which includes a broad survey of world literature: Classical texts, such as Homer and Plato, all the way to Dante and Augustine and so on. Also, courses on poetry, Shakespeare, British literature, continental philosophy, etc.

Hobbies

I enjoy listening to classical music, more specifically, to Johann Sebastian Bach, although I do not have a bias to the music of one time or place. More or less, I enjoy all forms of art. For reading, I prefer Renaissance literature, such as Shakespeare, Spencer, Donne, or restoration, such as Milton. (This list is not exhaustive). I am interested by paintings, films, sculptures, and, (surprisingly, to some), video-games. Unfortunately, I am not too keen on television.
