Testing history: -CSULB's Writing Proficiency Exam: 18 (perfect score) -GRE: Writing 6 (perfect score), Quantitative Reasoning 157, Verbal Reasoning 158. --- I'm a highly enthusiastic teacher that works in real-life examples into otherwise esoteric theoretical concepts. I work with you to make sure that you get the most out of your education! Prior to meeting, I would like to see a copy of your syllabus and any relevant rubrics to get a feel for your class. I'm in command of a plethora of thoroughly useful (and useless) facts, so please ask me if a subject you need isn't on the list. I have only listed subjects that I've had extensive professional training with, not skills that I've self-taught over the years (e.g., digital painting or philosophy). I can tutor extensively for any Comm-related classes, in additions to the courses listed above. I have taken all of the available classes at LBCC, and have taken most of the upper-division Comm classes at CSULB. Given this, I can also coach for those looking to overcome public speaking anxiety. Please know that I generally give a mini-lecture concerning ethics and persuasion, which comes bundled with each mini-comm class. I have privately tutored several high school and college students for English, Political Science, GRE, and SAT prep. I have consistently received glowing reviews for my teaching and tutoring services, and hope to extend my reach to new clients on this site. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Hobbies
I'm a gamer, nerd, and digital artist with a passion for teaching and community outreach.
