    About Henry

    Nice to meet you! I am a working tutor, researcher, and writer coming up on my eighth year of teaching. Currently, I teach literature and mathematics with a special emphasis on personalized, holistic approaches. I also consult high school students as they navigate the next steps in their academic careers. 

    During my time at the University of Rochester, I worked on publications and grant funded studies in the fields of fiction, the Philosophy of Education, bioethics, 19th and 20th century history, French translation, and the Philosophy of Mathematics. I continue my work as an author in the fields of fiction, non-fiction, curriculum writing, and speaking. In 2023, I founded Foghorn Education Center, where I hold public speaking events, direct youth programs, and write curriculums with field leaders in STEM, history, and contemporary literature. I have forthcoming publications in children’s non-fiction, fiction, and education.

    I’m particularly interested in introducing personalized, nuanced approaches to learning for my students. My academic life as a child was much different. I was given an IEP (individualized Education Program) for a supposed learning disability. This disability turned out to be physical: inactive muscles in my eyes left me unable to read until the age of nine. Vision therapy, although a long and arduous road, was liberating. It inspired a love of learning that I now strive to share. I know very well the need for personalized education, and so I aim to offer that today.
