Tobias

Certified Tutor

I have been a tutor before I was ever paid to do it. A straight A high school student, I was always asked to help my brother with his studies, which didn't come as easily to him. When I was a peer tutor at Harvard University, I discovered how enjoyable and rewarding it was to help other people understand our school's Freshman computer requirement and how I could use my knowledge, skills, and tricks to help them break down and overcome a daunting goal.
I was an officer in the U.S. Navy, where I learned to lead and teach people from all walks of life, and also saw first-hand how adding inspiration and encouragement helped our whole team do better and feel better about it. Since then, I've worked primarily as an entertainer, but I have remained a tutor, as well, bringing the empathy and humor that make me a successful singer, actor, and comedian to GMAT and SAT classrooms and private tutoring. I've been fortunate enough to be able to do some interesting things in my life, and I have meet so many amazing, diverse people along the way. Everything I've learned along the way informs my tutoring. I am not only a teacher, but also a coach and cheerleader. I love seeing people succeed and knowing that I helped. And it all began with my brother, who took the little bit of help I gave and ran with it and is now a successful Naval Commander!
