...was thirteen years old, and most of the resources for his reading level were aimed at students much younger. In order to keep him engaged, I had to get creative. We would practice reading comprehension using the sports section of the newspaper, and did short creative writing exercises.

I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer.

Writing is a chief personal pleasure and perhaps my greatest talent, and I derive just as much enjoyment from helping others with their writing as I do writing myself.

If that sounds like something you could use, get in touch!

...that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response.
