About Arthur

Hello, my name is Arthur, and I'm a certified teacher available to tutor your student or students. As I tell my daughter, an incoming eighth grader, "I've been here and I've gotten through it, and I can help you through it, too." I've spent a long time reading, writing, studying, and teaching, and I am ready for what's next. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, knowledgeable, and fun. I like tutoring because I love to celebrate victories and find solutions when things seem dire. Education is the stoking of a flame, not the filling of a bucket! I'm looking for a job that has clear goals and expectations. I started tutoring years and years ago as a peer tutor, then in college, and off and on for decades after. In my spare time, I like to read, ride my bicycle, and bake pies. One thing you should know about me is I teach and tutor because I love it, and I can't imagine doing anything else. My skills include memorization and synthesis, reading comprehension, and grammar fluency.
