I am a Professor of Biology at the College of Coastal Georgia. I have a Bachelors Degree in Biological Sciences, a Masters Degree in Biology, and a Ph.D. in Microbiology. I am passionate about student success and want to use this opportunity as a tutor to help students in the areas of biology and microbiology. I use examples that are relatable to real life as often as I can and hope to show even the most disinterested student that science can be fun! My previous students have said that my excitement about the subjects I teach is infectious and helps them engage with the material. I also encourage students to ask questions, even when they might think they are silly. It gives us an opportunity to discuss and sometimes dive into the subject a little deeper. I have experience working with students ranging from elementary school all the way through high school and beyond. I participate in many different outreach opportunities with the local middle schools and the 4-H chapter. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family, read the occasional novel, or work on my many craft projects.

Hello, my name is Philip, and I am a passionate and experienced educator dedicated to helping students thrive. With over a decade of teaching and tutoring experience, I have developed a deep understanding of how to support learners of all ages and abilities. My journey began as a Supplemental Instructor for Spanish at the University of Tennessee at Martin, and I went on to teach Spanish at Michigan State University while earning my master's degree in Hispanic Literature. For the past ten years, I have worked as both a bilingual and general elementary school teacher, honing my skills in creating engaging, student-centered lessons.I believe every child is capable of achieving their goals with the right guidance and support. My approach starts by understanding each student's unique strengths, challenges, and learning style. From there, I design personalized, interactive lessons that not only build skills but also instill confidence and a love for learning. My ultimate goal is to empower students to succeed while giving parents the peace of mind that their child is receiving thoughtful, individualized attention.Your child's success is my priority, and I am committed to helping them reach their full potential. Let's work together to make their educational journey a rewarding and positive experience!

Many of my teachers taught me the importance of relationship building. They put relationships with their students above all else. From them, I learned that students need to know you care before they show you they care. Before becoming a teacher, I was an investigator for the Department of Children's Services. Once again, I learned that for the kids I was working with to trust me, they first had to know that I truly cared and would always keep my word. I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelor's in Art in English Literature then several years down the road obtained a Master's in Art in English Literature from Grand Canyon University. This summer I will begin my journey toward a PhD in Literature at Liberty University. I love all things about English and Literature, but if I had to narrow it down, Creative Writing and British Lit would be neck and neck for that top spot. I love helping students find their own voice when they write, wether it be a serious piece with a touch of humor, or that emotional narrative that just pulls at the heartstrings. Then their is just something that resonates deep in my soul with British Lit., the epic tales of Beowulf, the romantic adventures of King Arthur's knights, the satire that Swift brings to the table, and the wordsmith that is just uniquely Shakespeare.

In 2003, I graduated from Penn State with a B.A. in English, and in 2015, I completed my M.Ed with a focus in School Counseling from the University of Tennessee- Martin. Spending the last three years working in a small, private school has afforded me the opportunity to develop both my counseling and teaching skills. I've learned that forming authentic relationships with students and their families can bolster the learning process.When working with students, I try to personalize the content to their interests whenever possible. I also try to give appropriate challenges; I want students to be engaged and always learning, but not overwhelmed and frustrated.As an educator, my passion is helping students experience those "ah-ha!" moments, when everything clicks at once and students feel empowered ad confident.

I graduate at University of Tennessee at Martin. I have a bachelor's degree in Management and a minor in Finance. The reasons I am so passionate about helping students are mostly because a lot of students that I have taught in the past expressing their love for this language. My job was mainly helping the students with homework and their speaking skills. I am able to speak three languages French and creole which are my primary languages and English. I can teach beginners, intermediate, and anyone that is interesting in learning French. During my time studying at UTM I had a scholarship to go study in France for a month where I had the privilege to meet students from all over the world and learn about different cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who graduated from UT Martin bring direct experience with the university's curriculum, teaching style, and academic expectations. They've successfully navigated the same courses and challenges students face, giving them practical insight into what works. Beyond academics, they understand the campus culture and can offer mentorship based on their own educational journey.

UT Martin tutors specialize across a wide range of subjects, from engineering and sciences to business, education, and liberal arts—reflecting the university's diverse academic programs. Many focus on courses that are foundational to their degree programs, such as calculus, chemistry, biology, and business fundamentals. Because they've completed these courses at UT Martin specifically, they can explain concepts in ways that align with how the material is taught there.

An alumnus tutor understands the specific expectations of UT Martin professors, the rigor of different departments, and effective study strategies that work within the university's academic environment. They can help you navigate course selection, explain how material connects across semesters, and share what study habits led to their own success. This insider perspective accelerates your learning and helps you avoid common pitfalls.

Your first session is about building a foundation for your learning. The tutor will assess your current understanding of the subject, discuss your goals, and learn about your learning style. Together, you'll create a personalized plan that addresses your specific challenges—whether that's mastering difficult concepts, preparing for exams, or improving your grade in a particular course.

In a classroom, instruction is designed for 20-30+ students with varying needs. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, your tutor adapts explanations to your learning style, paces the lesson to match your speed, and focuses entirely on your weak areas. Research shows that personalized tutoring significantly accelerates learning because it eliminates the one-size-fits-all approach and allows for immediate feedback and adjustment.

You'll have the opportunity to discuss your needs before your first session, ensuring a good fit. The process is straightforward—we handle the matching so you can focus on learning.

Absolutely. While grade improvement is often a goal, tutors also help you build deeper understanding, develop stronger study habits, and gain confidence in challenging subjects. Many students work with tutors to prepare for major exams, transition to upper-level courses, or explore how concepts connect across disciplines. An alumnus tutor can also offer perspective on how your current coursework prepares you for your major and career.

This depends entirely on your goals and needs. Some students connect with a tutor for a few weeks to prepare for a specific exam, while others work with one throughout a semester or academic year for ongoing support. Your tutor can help you assess progress and adjust the plan as needed—there's no minimum commitment, and you can scale up or down based on what works for you.
