About Thomas
I'm Tom Burke, an MFA student in Fiction at the University of California, Irvine. I received my Bachelor's of Arts at Harvard University in English, where I wrote a creative thesis with Claire Messud as my advisor. I'm currently at work on two novels and a few short stories. Intellectually my background is in Victorian and Modernist literature, to include Henry James, Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Bronte, and James Joyce, and phenomenology and philosophy of mind. I'm also a fine artist, although I mostly only sketch now, as I'm busy with graduate school and writing.

I tutor with a discussion-based, Socratic approach, in the sense that I view learning as inherently collaborative: my hope with my students is to establish a mutually trusting relationship wherein we feel equally enriched by our pursuit of understanding the material.
A typical lesson would last one to two hours, depending on the preference of the student, and begin with a catch-up and review from the prior lesson, then move into the subject of the day, whatever that may be: a discussion of the text, or perhaps an editing session. We would then close with a recap of the lesson and an establishment of expectations regarding what to prepare for the next lesson.
I teach middle school up: critical/ close reading, essay writing, and high school/ college applications.
