Experience
I tutored English at Fairleigh Dickinson University while attending college. I tutored several students in various subjects while in high school, ranging from basic English and Math to AP English and Geometry. In terms of classes I've taken, I have studied literature from many time periods and countries while obtaining my Master's degree. A strong knowledge of grammar was also necessary to graduate. I am familiar with the MLA and APA styles of citation. I am trained in editing, proof-reading, and critical analysis of literature. I have written essays, articles, short stories, chaptered novellas, and poetry for various writing classes. I edited the work of other students. I am currently working on finishing a novel series that I would like to publish within the next three years. As far as tutoring goes, I enjoy it immensely. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I am helping another person succeed. I strongly believe that everyone should have the chance to meet their fullest potential. All of us need help getting there, so I am more than happy to assist others.

Hobbies
I live a geeky nerd lifestyle. I love video games, comic books, science-fiction, fantasy, anime, manga, and, of course, books! I'm incredibly laid back. I prefer a casual setting to a professional one. I am also very interested in equal rights for everyone. I'm also technologically savvy. I regularly use social media to engage in the world around me. I have used many types of computer programs to create media and art. Some of the skills I have used to do this include video editing, music editing, photo editing and creation, and writing. A few of the specific programs are Macromedia Dreamweaver, Macromedia Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, Sony Vegas, and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
