"My name is Robert. I have recently relocated to Boston from North Bay.

I have a MFA in playwriting and an MA in mathematics because I am passionate about teaching and discovery. I have taught and tutored all ages from preschool through college, in all levels of biology, mathematics, physics, reading, and writing.

For the past five years, I have worked as a contest judge -- reading and evaluating stories and providing gentle guidance to the writers. In addition, I have worked as a long-term tutor for several families and adults on a wide range of subjects from Algebra and Calculus to Writing and Physics.

My passion for learning stems from my firsthand experiences with students. In past summers, my students and I have counted trees, collected bugs, and banded chicks. This past winter we pruned trees with the Charles River Conservancy. In the spring, my Cambridge Science Festival exhibit let passers-by explore and imitate birdsong.

Working in these diverse environments has taught me how to guide students toward discovery and then to let them explore, how to teach a new idea and then get out of the way. In addition, my experiences as an actor and a playwright have taught me how to inspire students to uncover their own ideas and express them.

My goal is to get students excited about learning, the world, and the future. I truly appreciate your time. Thank you." less...
