Justin A.
Private tutor in Central Islip, NY
Education
I was an English major and a Philosophy and Anthropology minor in college at SUNY Plattsburgh. Although I did not finish my Bachelor's degree, to take time off as a father, I am seeking to return for Adult education courses, soon, to finish what I started.
Experience
I have worked for Upward Bound and Score! Education center. The former was specifically with High School Young Adults and the latter with K-12. I want to be a tutor because I am passionate about imparting the knowledge I have and seeing another person grasp the ideas and concepts that come alive in literature and art or even in the delight for exploring abstract thought that philosophy draws you into through the dialectical method between mentor and student. I firmly believe that one of the core necessities for being an engaged and informed citizen before participating in the democratic process is to develop a high degree of critical thinking that philosophy can hone and an appreciation for the breadth and depth of the human experience that literature provides through aesthetic excellence. Besides having been an English major and Philosophy/Anthropology minor, I have ample "real world experience" as I also have a writing portfolio of published articles from local Long Island magazines reviewing Restaurants, Clubs, Music, writing Editorials etc
