About Daveed


Bio

✍ Writing is a beautiful thing, but it is also quite difficult to learn. Schooling, books, and online resources are helpful, but they lack focused one-on-one attention that only a dedicated tutor, coach, or educator can bring.

Hi, my name is Daveed and I am an expert writer. I'm finishing up my PhD in Education at University of California, Santa Barbara and I am taking on clients so I can pass along my skills. I tailor my approach to help students at various levels of schooling:

✍ Writing is a beautiful thing, but it is also quite difficult to learn. Schooling, books, and online resources are helpful, but they lack focused one-on-one attention that only a dedicated tutor, coach, or educator can bring.

Hi, my name is Daveed and I am an expert writer. I'm finishing up my PhD in Education at University of California, Santa Barbara and I am taking on clients so I can pass along my skills. I tailor my approach to help students at various levels of schooling:

- Elementary school: Learning how to read and enjoy writing from books and articles; writing as a form of expression
- High school: Learning how to be critical; comparing texts; adopting a meta-understanding of writing
- Home school: Learning how to be self-sufficient in writing projects
- College: How to form a strong thesis; how to deconstruct texts
- Graduate school: Literature review; how to form complex arguments

At all ages, I focus on the voice of the author. Artificial intelligence is a great tool, and I actually recommend it for all kinds of learning, but what AI can't give you is a voice. That's something you have to earn for yourself, and I have the experience and techniques to help you do that.

Looking forward to writing with you 📝

Computer Gaming

I have been developing and conducting research on educational VR games since 2017. I have worked on virtually every aspect of game development as a solo dev, and as a leader of a team of undergraduates. I primarily develop in Unity3D for the Oculus platform but I also have experience with the HTC Vive. In addition to these technical qualifications, I have extensively studied games for learning and can apply various theoretical frameworks to the building and understanding of computer games.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

My bachelor's degree is in Biospsychology. I set the curve on my pharmacology test and took pharmacology classes at the graduate level at UC Santa Barbara. I understand and can break down key pharmacological concepts (e.g., route of administration, LD50). I have extensive knowledge of pharmacology and brain chemistry, in particular, which includes a variety of neurotransmitter mechanisms and pathways, from synaptic to intracellular signalling.

I am well versed in pragmatist philosophy, especially Dewey. Philosophy of the mind and of language is part of my research in language learning and education. I am also experienced in philosophical writing.
