Experience
I prefer to do online tutoring but will meet in person with a more limited availability as my work schedule changes from week to week. Having undiagnosed dysgraphia as a child caused me to overcompensate in areas like reading to keep up in school. I ended up enjoying reading a great deal and becoming something of a book nerd. Then when I finally got my hands on a computer I realized I liked writing as well. As a tutor I've never been frustrated and I will take the time to explain the reasoning behind concepts until you understand them. Essay writing and editing is one of my strong suits. I was an English tutor for Sudanese refugees for two years, before that I tutored my dysgraphic cousins (it's genetic) with their grammar and spelling. I graduated from Regent with a 3.83, from high school with a 3.5 SAT scores: Total: 1830, Critical Reading 670, Math 510, Writing 650 ACT scores: Composite Score 26, English 28, Math 21, Reading 31, Science 22

Hobbies
For entertainment in the summer I love to go kayaking and hiking, typically collecting flowers to press or things to look at under my microscope. I also make jewelry out of preserved beetles, butterflies, and flowers using a vacuum chamber and resin. In the winter I play RPGs like Mass Effect and Dragon's Age and even worked at GameStop for a while. Throughout the year I read everything from science fiction, to outdated literature, to random psychology. Basically I'm a versatile geek, and I get along with just about everyone.
