Some of the most reading-intensive and challenging courses I took recently were International Politics, Media, Ethics, and Society, and Advanced Media Writing. I was a reading tutor to 2 students, ages 12 and 14, between 2018-2020. I instruct native Chinese-speaking children using English reading materials every day in my ESOL job.

Video Production Tutoring

My interests in video production began when I took a video production elective in the 8th grade and edited a wedding video into a one-minute highlight reel. In college, I joined a film production club, which inspired me to act and serve as Production Assistant to over a dozen independent film productions. While acquiring my bachelors in Journalism from Georgia State University, I took a class in Digital Journalism which allowed me to write, log, conduct interviews, shoot, edit, and publish three of my own news stories to YouTube. I have since continued to write, shoot, and edit my own video content for publication to my Youtube, TikTok, and Instagram platforms. I frequently shoot video using a Digital Canon, and some other models of digital cameras, and an iPhone. I am familiar with camera controls and props; uploading, downloading, and converting video content; and with a few editing softwares, including Windows Moviemaker, iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, and HitFilm Express.

I have since become a remote TESOL teacher with 2 different companies (Qkids and Magic Ears), teaching thousands of native Chinese speaking children ages 3-14 over the past 4 years. I work with groups of 1 to 4, wherein we see and interact with each other and I use skills such as TPR (total physical response, i.e. exaggerated body language/cues), props, games, songs, rewards and repetition to teach foreign concepts to non-native Chinese speakers, entirely in English.
