Ryan F.
Private tutor in Brooklyn, NY
Education
I hold a Bachelor's degree in film and television in Boston University, a program I finished in three years and supplemented with a year abroad in Berlin, Germany to complete a German Studies minor with New York University. I work in the film industry and have held numerous internships in film production, development, arts management, and for an arts/lifestyle magazine. When I'm not working, I'm reading. I'm a voracious reader and big fan of European literature and history, especially German and Russian. I can speak, read and write German and I plan to begin Russian courses in the next year. I am working to build my skills and make some money before going back for my master's degree in Modern European Studies.

Hobbies
Big fan of arts and literature. I enjoy scoping out new releases in foreign and independent cinema and constantly checking out new bookstores around the city. I'm a bit of a chef as well and enjoy planning complex meals with challenging recipes. My current plans are to take the GRE in 2014 and apply to graduate degree programs to get my master's in Modern European Studies, with continued research in Germany and Russia.
