Welcome! I hold a PhD in the history of philosophy (University of Toronto), and I tutor gifted children in English language arts, Latin, and math. I also teach group courses in writing, math, logic, and philosophy to middle school and high school students. I’ve recently published a logic textbook inspired by Lewis Carroll (of Alice in Wonderland fame) and use it in my fall logic class at Royal Fireworks.
Before teaching high school, I led undergraduate tutorials in philosophy for 7 years at the University of Toronto. I also taught occasional classes and writing workshops at St. Philip Neri and Wycliffe College.
Alongside tutoring and teaching, I’m a professional academic editor and have proofread over 30 published volumes and student dissertations. I’ve also worked in academic administration, marketing, and website management.
By night I moonlight as a poet and translator. A WWII-themed poem of mine was a finalist in an America250 poetry competition in 2026 (“The Ballad of the Ghost Mountain Boys“), and I’ve published in a variety of poetry journals across the web. My current passion project is a translation of 1600 short poems from the 17th-century German poet Angelus Silesius, the first volume of which has been published as The Sorcerers’ Stone.
