Experience Summary
I have two masters degrees. I have taught music. My employment involves being the IT manager for an automobile dealership. I have dealt with just about every type of PC Problem, hardware, software, e-mail, website security, etc. I also do the bookkeeping for the enterprise. I have my own income tax service. Also, I fix PCs. As far as the creative side, I attend a writers group in which we do creative writing. I have been to over 10 colleges and pretty much understand pedagogy. Pedagogy is how they teach and how you learn. The more advanced the courses you take the less they help or guide you. You're on your own. They hand you a syllabus, and say go figure it out. Sometimes, you figure it out, and sometimes, you don't. But either way you learn from your experience. Being a mature gentleman, I have learned to have infinite patience, great tenacity, and strong perserverance. So, if you want to learn how to work and or learn smart rather than hard, give me a call.

| I am a fluent writer. I can teach you how to make a paragraph and organize your paragraphs into a fluent paper. I can make you proud to not plagerize (taking credit for someone else's ideas). I will show you how to use your creativity. You can start with an idea and expand upon it. I can help you choose and develop a thesis. If you like I can help you get published! Take the plunge! Get the block off your writer's block! |
