My name is Brandon and I'm more than happy to offer my services to you as a tutor. I graduated La Costa Canyon High School Class of 2001 with a 3.5 GPA. I've been pursuing a major in the field of graphic design at Palomar College. I have a very patient personality with everyone I've known and I exude this with the students that I teach.

Thanks to my dad, I've got a good sense of humor which I always try to use. I guarantee that you'll have fun while you're learning and that you'll wholly enjoy yourself during our session.

If you have any questions regarding anything I may have missed, don't hesitate to email me and I'll answer you as soon as possible. Thanks very much for taking your time to look at my profile.

Spanish

My experience with Spanish includes having a mom, grandma and quite a few Latino friends who are all fluent whom I practice with from time to time, but also having taken Spanish I through IV in my years in high school and passing them all with flying colors.

I have a vast knowledge of this language, which I'd like to share with anyone who's willing to devote their time. If you'd like to delve a little more as to the exact details, please feel free to message me about it.

General Computer

I have quite a bit of experience with the general computer as a whole--both PC and Mac. For PC, I've been using Windows since the 3.1 days and am familiar with 95, 98, XP and Vista. Haven't gotten to use Windows 7 much yet, but if it's at all similar to XP/Vista I shouldn't have any trouble with it. In regards to Mac, I've been using those ever since I was a sophmore in high school with the iMacs. I've been using Mac since the early OS and am very familiar with Leopard (Mac OS X) as well.

Chess

Chess has been one of my favorite board games throughout my years and I know how to play the game very well.

I can teach anyone how all the pieces on the board move and even some terms that can be applied to the game that some people might not usually take advantage of such as kingside and queenside castling and the en passant rule.

I mainly enjoy playing for fun, but when I get enough practice in I might try my hands at a tournament.

Poker

I've been playing poker for quite some time now and am very familiar with the hands that can be made, how to get them and also which type is more powerful in terms of getting the pot as opposed to others. The main type of poker I play is Texas Hold 'Em which is also the most popular. I've also played a bit of 5 card draw.

Japanese

I have recently taken some Japanese classes at Palomar College. So far, I have passed the first two semesters both with Bs. I have a firm grasp on how to write the hiragana and katakana of the language properly. I can provide a written chart if need be to prove this.

I'll admit I still struggle a bit on the kanji, but considering someone whose first language is English is trying to learn a picture language that part is usually not that easy considering the kanji can have quite different... Read More

Photography

I have 5 years experience in photography. Earlier this year, I started up a photography business. I'm still working on getting the main website up, but I've been expanding my portfolio plenty. I'm more than happy to share my skills with those willing to learn.

DOS

I'm aware that DOS is lesser used nowadays since Windows is more and more popular, but for those of us who still like using cmd.exe, it's still around even in Windows 7.

DOS can be advantageous since it's usable at all times and, lots of times, can be safer if you're trying to format your hard drive, separate it into partitions or the like.

I'm more than happy to teach anyone how to use this text-based operating system.

Dreamweaver

I currently have Dreamweaver CS5 and have used it many times to assist me in making websites in the past. I'll admit I do enjoy the user friendly interface of the program and how it streamlines the source code of what you're making very well.

If you'd like to see an example of a page I've made with Dreamweaver, I'm more than happy to oblige.

Macintosh

Can't forget about the ever popular Mac of course. ;p Most of my graphic design classes--both in high school and college--have used Macs and, from what I've been exposed to on the OS, I'd have to say that it's the more business oriented one in terms of what you can do with it.

I've been using Macs ever since 3rd-6th grade, so I'm well accustomed to how they function. Currently, I'm the most familiar with Mac's latest operating system which is Mac OS X as I mentioned in my general computer... Read More

Microsoft Windows

Ah...good ol' Microsoft Windows...where to begin. Well, first off, I've been using this OS ever since Windows 3.1 and have kept up with the upgrades up to the current Windows 7. I do like how they've simplified a lot of things as opposed to how clunky the old operating system was in the past.

I know quite a few keyboard shortcuts even to the point where you'll be able to navigate your PC with just the keyboard alone if you so choose. A few examples of shortcuts include Ctrl+Esc which... Read More
