Experience Summary
My experiences come from a mix of studies and real life application. I have studied various forms of writing, from professional, creative, and argumentative; these include gather sources and properly citing them in both MLA and APA formats. My personal applications of these writing materials have been for personal use in working on short stories and poems. I have an extensive history with drawing, mainly through personal sketches (both cartooning and realism). While in college, I have also studied several techniques that have greatly improved my drawing practices in the form of realistic drawing.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is very hands on, and student focused. I like to connect with whoever I teach on a personal level so that they can feel comfortable with me as a tutor and with themselves while learning how to approach old problems in new ways.
My Hobbies
As aforementioned, my hobbies include drawing and writing, but I also enjoy practicing martial arts, driving, and working on vehicles as well.
Other Comments
I look forward to any and all opportunities to help teach somebody something new. I believe that when I can teach somebody something, I in turn learn something myself.
