Greetings, my name is Thomas from Cali, Colombia.

With over 40 years of experience teaching AP English Literature and serving as an AP Reader for the past 20 years, I offer a unique and comprehensive approach to tutoring Language Arts, Essay Writing, and Literature. I provide elite literary analysis and personalized, multi-draft mentoring to transform student essays from competent to extraordinary.

My expertise lies in close reading techniques and comprehensive, line-by-line feedback to help students master university-level reading and writing skills. Having scored over 22,000 AP Literature essays, I bring a keen eye and honest, constructive criticism to elevate analytical abilities. Students can expect vibrant discussions analyzing classical works, followed by critical, deep writing developed through my proven process.

In addition to honing writing prowess, as a librarian for 20 years, I introduce captivating literary works and teach how to find personal relevance and timely insights. I also guide the effective use of AI writing tools to further enhance essays and build independence. My goal is for all students to develop the invaluable reading and writing skills crucial for university success and beyond.

I hold a Master of Arts in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Western Carolina University, a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Rhode Island, and a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Psychology from the University of Iowa. As well, I am certified to teach both English and Psychology in the United States.
