About Thomas
Hello!
My name is Thomas, and I am a 2022 graduate of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where I earned my MA degree with a 4.0 GPA studying history and international relations.
I am a patient and respectful teacher who is confident in my ability to engage students and help acheive their academic goals. I have experience teaching writing skills through university tutoring and was an editor for a university publication, and am therefore able to assist students in essay writing, outlining, and test taking skills. I acheived a score of 5 on my AP History and English exams, and a "34" composite score on the ACT, with "36" in the English/Reading sections.
A Chicago native, I am currently doing a year-long legal fellowship with the Circuit Court of Cook County as I prepare for law school next year. In the mean time, I am looking to engage with my passions for history, english, and learning by tutoring students taking AP and prep level high school courses in history and english. Though I am based in Chicago, I am welcome to students from anywhere in the world remotely.
