What is your favorite AP to tutor?
“I love tutoring AP Stats because of the way it blends mathematics and critical thinking. Suddenly math becomes very contextual and applicable to real-life and this is often the class where students finally connect with mathematics and see the way it shapes and influences their day to day lives. Teaching students the high-level problem solving required along with the concepts and formulas is one of my favorite teaching experiences.”

Allison Oh
Allison is a classically trained artist and educator with a passion for teaching RSG’s middle school students. Allison graduated magna cum laude with her degree in Studio Arts and completion of a rigorous Classical Education program from Biola University. Since then she’s taught as an adjunct professor and had her writings and interviews published in a number of literary magazines.
Since she joined RSG in 2019, Allison has dedicated her teaching skills to the students here and excels in helping students connect their passions to their learning to develop internal motivation and drive. While she has experience teaching all grades, she is deeply passionate about supporting our middle school students and seeing them thrive in those pivotal transition years approaching high school.
In addition to our middle school programs, Allison also tutors English, Studio Arts, and Art History for middle & high school students through our Subject Tutoring Program.
What drives your passion to teach middle schoolers?
“I enjoy working with middle school students because it’s the age where they can begin to truly grasp the idea that learning is more than just grades or assignments–it’s about developing a set of skills to teach yourself so that you can continue to grow intellectually long after school stops being a framework in your life. As students begin to form their young adult identities, I want them to also discover how good it is to love learning for its own sake, so that they can develop into adults who will be curious, flexible, critical thinkers that never stop wanting to grow and learn more about the world.”

Kyle Keene
With degrees in History, Classics, and Psychology, Kyle brings years of study and teaching experience to bear as a Humanities Expert at RSG. After completing his Master’s in Psychology, he has presented and had his academic work accepted at conferences and conventions both nationally and internationally.
Kyle started RSG’s Socratic Honors Academy based on the teaching methodologies he learned through his studies in Classics programs at Cambridge and Biola University. His goal is to bring the Classics to middle & high school students in a way that pushes our top students to truly distinguish themselves as scholars and life-long learners. He works to make Classics education applicable to a diverse student body by incorporating great works of literature from the world over and is spearheading a more inclusive approach to teaching great books.
In addition to his work with our Socratic Honors students, Kyle also tutors students in English and History through our Subject Tutoring program.
What is your favorite part of teaching the classics?
I love teaching Plato and Shakespeare. Many people have wrongly been taught that these authors are beyond them simply because they are difficult. I love watching students wrestle with challenging concepts and, with some support and guidance, reach a point of breakthrough and understanding. I am always encouraged when they learn how these ideas apply to their everyday lives.
