Tutor Mashup!

 

Hey everyone, 

My name is Collin, and I'm super excited to work with you all! I made a little graphic here, which is graced by photos of my favorite albums, books, memes, meals, and people. What you won't see there is that I'm a third-year English Education student at UWM, I grew up in Neenah, I love playing basketball on campus, music is the coolest thing ever, I'll occasionally play chess with people (I used to be obsessed...), and oatmeal is one of the greatest foods of all time (it's true).

I also have a passion for writing. There's something about sharp, concise, engaging, and persuasive writing that appeals to me. I really started loving writing as a freshman in high school, so I started a sports blog with my friend. Quickly, it became my passion. I joined established websites (Burnt Orange Nation, Prep Hoops, Brew Hoop) and started to actually make money. It was awesome. I was already becoming a sports journalist...which is exactly what I wanted to do as an adult. 

Although my love of sports faded (not completely...but a little) I still wanted to participate in the literacy community. I decided to transition to teaching, and I'm so glad I did! Interacting with students is amazing, so discussing literature and writing with you all should be a blast.
