Freelance-writers
Nashville, Tennessee
09.2023 - Current
- Conducted individual tutoring sessions with students to help them improve their academic performance.
- Assisted students in developing effective study habits and strategies for success in school.
- Encouraged students to ask questions about topics they did not understand.
- Facilitated small-group discussions to increase comprehension of course material.
- Helped students develop critical thinking skills by engaging them in interactive dialogue about challenging concepts.
- Though this was not an official position with a company, classmates would ask for a few extra hours of my time throughout the week, during which I helped them grasp concepts that were being discussed in class. I thoroughly enjoyed mentoring students in topics that I loved studying, and I was able to pick up quickly. Instructing students on philosophical concepts led me to teaching English, and I've enjoyed that as well. I believe tutoring in philosophy was a great way to get a feel for what teaching is like.

Affiliations
As I've gotten older I've grown disinterested with constant television and social media. I've replaced large amounts of time on my phone or similar technology with reading. In certain ways I find reading necessary for me to perform tasks efficiently, as it stimulates my mind and helps me to zone in on current projects.

Nominated, and have since become a member, of The National Society Of Leadership And Success
