"Hi, I'm Owen. I'm a recent graduate from the Georgia Institute of Technology with my major in Computational Media. I currently work as the lead game designer on the Current Crisis project, an educational game designed to teach players about the power grid and study ways to improve it. I have experience tutoring/teaching in a variety of settings and decided to start tutoring through Wyzant to reach out to a wider net of students. When I tutor students I usually like to see some of their work and go through it with them first so I can get an idea of what their class expects. From there I am open to working with the student to figure out what tutoring structure works best, regularly going through assigned work, setting up short lessons on specific topics, or anything else that the student or I think would work well; whatever structure my students feel most comfortable with I am happy to oblige.

As a computational media major, my threads (specific areas of study) were Artificial Intelligence and Game Design. I completed the following computer science classes as part of my major: Intro to Object Oriented Programming, Data Structures, and Algorithms, Intro to Discrete Math CS, Computer Organization and Programming, Objects, and Design, and Intro to Artificial Intelligence. I am also proficient in the following programming languages: C, C++, C#, Java, and JavaScript. I have also completed Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra. I scored 5s on the following AP tests: Calculus BC, Computer Science, Physics, and Biology and I scored a 35 on the ACT. I have also worked as a content creator for Study Smarter where I created practice material for the ACT science section so I am particularly familiar with this section. I have experience teaching and tutoring in a variety of environments and at a variety of levels including a teaching position at Code Ninjas for introducing middle school students to JavaScript." less...
