Oh, in case you’re wondering,
"Logos" is pronounced "low-gose", and it is
ancient Greek for word, knowledge, or reason. It is
the source for many English words (all the …logies),
such as logic, logarithm, terminology, prologue, and theology.
See,
you learned something already!
About The Founder
Logos Tutoring was
founded by Peter McCauley, Professor of Law (ret.). Mr. McCauley
holds a JD degree (Doctor of Law)
and
a Masters degree in Molecular Biology. Mr. McCauley is a
lifetime learner himself. He has been tutoring since 1993,
and developed
the current model for Logos Tutoring over
time. Mr. McCauley attended high school at The Trivium, a
Great Books high school
located in Lancaster, Massachusetts, dedicated to studying
the original texts of the great minds of western civilization.
He studied biochemistry at the undergraduate level, attaining
a Bachelor of Science. He then worked as an educator for
several years, teaching test preparation for an industry
leader, and
teaching biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics at
the community college level. He then completed graduate school
in biology with a Molecular Biology concentration, while
achieving
one of the highest scores in the country on the Medical College
Admission Test (40T). His master’s thesis was on vaccine
strategies for attacking antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Mr.
McCauley then completed law school, with concentrations in
Health Law and Intellectual Property. He was admitted into
a top US medical school and a top MBA program, but decided
to defer both acceptances in order to devote himself to entrepreneurship
with his company, Logos Tutoring.
He then taught business law at a major university, before
retiring to focus on entrepreneurship
with Logos Tutoring.
In his spare time, he enjoys cycling, playing keyboards,
and reading anything he can get his hands
on.
Corporate Logo
Our corporate logo of the owl sitting on a book was drawn by
Mr. McCauley’s niece, Elizabeth Wood. The name of our
mascot, the beautiful, mythological purple and gold owl wearing
wire-rimmed glasses, is Mr. Sophos. The owl as a symbol of
wisdom goes all the way back to Greek mythology, as Athena
had an owl on her shoulder to symbolize her status as goddess
of wisdom. Athena herself may have been an owl in pre-historic
times. Her tasseled shield, the aegis (pronounced ee-jis),
may be the remnants of wings, and she is shown with wings in
many Greek sculptures and paintings.
