Meet a Hamburg Tutor: Henry C.

Henry C. grew up in Hamburg, then moved to the United States to attend college. He grew up respecting the teachers who helped him succeed in school and knew he wanted to support others in their learning endeavors, leading him to pursue a career as a teacher. Henry majored in history at Princeton University. He then obtained a master's degree in education from Boston University and after graduating, he accepted a position in the Boston public school system, teaching history, language arts, and English to English-speaking and ESL students. Henry loved the work he did, and he received many well-deserved promotions. As he assumed a more managerial role, Henry began to miss the work he had done with students and hoped to return to the classroom. After a few years, Henry was offered a position at a private school in Hamburg, and he was thrilled to return home. When Manhattan Review opened an office in the city, Henry quickly joined the team as a professional instructor. 

Henry has first-hand experience with a wide variety of standardized tests, and he knows exactly how to help students master the content they need to ensure their own academic success. Students love his positive attitude towards learning as much as his patience, and his courses fill up quickly. When he isn't helping students achieve impressive test scores, Henry can be found sketching ships along the port and volunteering at a local animal shelter.
