Experience
I have done college, high school, middle school, and elementary school tutoring, in pretty much every subject you can imagine. I scored a 2220 on the SAT including a perfect reading score, and a 31 on the ACT. I am a current Dean's List and Honors student on track to graduate summa cum laude, and in high school I was on honor roll, an Illinois State Scholar, and National Merit Commended. I've taken mostly English, Writing, French, and History classes in college, but I've worked as a paralegal and dabbled in Legal Studies, I've taken Calculus, Physics, Government, African-American Literature and History, Latin, German, Government - to cut short what could be a somewhat exhaustive catalog of "classes I've taken," I can cover a whole lot of subjects and I know how to study efficiently for A's in all of them.

Hobbies
I'm currently working on my first manuscript which is a kind of post-postmodern absurdist parody fantasy, which is a really pretentious way of saying it's a comedy book. I love film and watch way too many movies. Some of my favorites are The Princess Bride, Brick, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Fall, Airplane!, Undercover Brother, and pretty much anything else that is funny and/or beautiful. I sing and play guitar in a band, with various degrees of quality. I'm a goalie, currently playing college hockey and I coach when I get the time. I like hanging out with friends, usually playing board games or Xbox (I'm big on Halo and NHL). I also love cooking, especially breakfast food. Currently going through a phase where french-style scrambled eggs seem like a necessity basically every morning.
