I have over 20 years experience in theatre as an actor, writer and director. I trained at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre by Richard Pinter. I studied Improvisation with Paul Sills among others. I have studied playwrighting with Edward Albee and Eduardo Machado. As well I have performed with noted theatre companies in Minneapolis, MN, and New York City. Additionally, I have taught "Introduction to Theatre" at the university level. As well, in my college composition classes, my students were required to read and attend the campus productions at the University of Houston in conjunction with my Rhetoric Class. Finally, I am well-versed in theatre as literature, especially the world of Shakespeare and modern 20th century American greats like O'Neill, Williams, Miller, and Mamet.

Robert is by far one of the best tutors I have had the pleasure of working with. He is ALWAYS competent and willing to help me no matter the time line. He's work is phenomenal and it still amazes me efficient he works. An assignment that would normally take me a week to do well I can do it with his help in 1-2 days. I highly recommend working with him on any writing or editing project you have. He always listens to me and works around whatever writing preference or input I may have. Robert is tutoring rockstar!


William W. from Chapel Hill, NC

Dr. V. definitely improved the way I work through SAT reading sections. His methods of "chunking" and "working in a circle" have allowed me to breeze through a reading section with ease. Also, he helped me with SAT vocabulary by working through each vocabulary question together. Along with SAT prep, he is a great mentor for improving writing skills. Dr. V. helped work me through my applications for various different programs and responded quickly with answers and feedback. All in all, Dr. V. is a great tutor and extremely motivated to help his students.
