About Caleb
I am in graduate school for a Philosophy Ph.D. at the University of Utah. I graduated with honors from Clemson University with a B.A. in Philosophy and Biology and a minor in Psychology. I am currently a graduate TA and in addition to creating course materials and grading, I offer individual attention to each of my students to help them succeed in not only getting good grades but in deeply understanding the content. I also worked as the Writing Tutor for the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Clemson for almost two years, wherein I helped students improve the clarity and rigor of their argumentative essays. I amassed significant experience as a leader of the university's philosophy club, in which I would offer brief lectures introducing topics and ask probing questions to provoke deep discussions. I also participated in Clemson's Ethics Bowl team every semester of my undergraduate career, wherein I helped lead my team members to competitive success by helping them strengthen their arguments.
As a tutor, my focus is two-fold. First, I help students improve the quality of their writing, with a focus on honing clarity, concision, and substance as well as developing their own unique style. Second, I help students become better analytic thinkers by challenging them to craft persuasive arguments and express their ideas through compelling writing. My tutoring style is characterized by an emphasis on clear, logical thinking, and an ability to distill difficult concepts into basic, comprehensible pieces.

I have also worked with middle and high school students in multiple academic summer camp settings at Clemson University, including Summer Scholars and Summer Program for Research Interns.

My tutoring is highly personalized, so for a new client, before getting into the content, I like to get to know them as both a learner and a person. The depth of this process will depend on whether they are a long-term or short-term student, but for short-term students, I will spend at least 15 minutes at the beginning of the session understanding the best way to work with them, and for longer-term students, this may last the entirety of our first session. Important things I want to know so I can better personalize my tutoring include the following: the goals/motivation of the student for seeking tutoring, the learning style of the student, the personality of the student, and some of their non-academic interests/hobbies. Knowing these things helps me personalize my tutoring so it better resonates with each individual student.
I have worked with middle school, high school, and undergraduate students.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Learning how to ask good questions is at the heart of my tutoring philosophy. In a truly Socratic style, I think teaching students how to ask good questions is the key to teaching them how to learn. The kinds of questions students should think about on their own are just the "why" questions - the kind of questions we all compulsively asked as children. Children are naturally inquisitive and thus are excellent learners. My job as a tutor, in part, is to unlock that childlike curiosity and encourage students to keep asking why until they can't anymore. I also help teach my students how to ask these "why" questions fruitfully - that is, a way that will reframe the way they think about a problem when they are stuck.
