About Larry
I have a deep love for the humanities, particularly literature and history. Though I enjoy learning about and sharing all subjects of both disciplines, I'm especially fond of Gothic and supernatural literature, 19th century and Edwardian authors, and the Roman/Byzantine, medieval and Enlightenment eras. I also appreciate sharing "hidden history" or "facts off-the-beaten path"--strange, obscure but very interesting information not usually taught or known.
My family and I are world travellers, and to date we've visited 46 countries. And, I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a HUGE Star Trek, Star Wars and superhero geek...
I have over 25 years experience in teaching adolescents and adults a variety of subjects. I'm personable and easy-going, and try to make tutoring/teaching fun for all. Above all, I strive to meet the educational needs of my students in whatever way helps them to achieve their goals.

My English Language Arts and social studies tutoring is geared towards upper primary to secondary school students. It's perfect for anyone wanting to review the broad base of ELA, or wishing to focus on a specific area--literature or essay writing, for example.
Lesson planning and implementation is collaborative: I always determine the needs and desires of students and parents first, and structure lessons around whatever skill or knowledge is desired.
My teaching philosophy and methodology involves "Socratic flexibility"--frequently probing student knowledge bases, insights and observations through frequent questions, and helping to expand their comprehension by utilizing modes beyond basic rote learning. I also employ an interdisciplinary approach when teaching; it's not just about analyzing a poem, it's also about considering the current events, culture and life experiences affecting the author.
I LOVE teaching and tutoring because I get to share my interests and experience with like-minded people of all ages. Too, I enjoy those "Aha!" moments--seeing the lightbulb go off when students grasp complex or difficult topics. Most of all, I appreciate learning as much from my students as I hope they learn from me.
