"Hello! My name is Miranda and I specialize in both computer graphics and generalized writing and would love to share my expertise with you.

I have a bachelor's degree from Ringling College of Art + Design, one of the top CG colleges on the East Coast and graduated with a major in Computer Animation and a minor in Creative Writing. I have extensive knowledge with Autodesk Maya, RenderMan, Nuke, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Premiere and use all programs on a daily basis. While I can easily teach the technical aspects of these programs, such as modeling, UVing and rendering, I can also provide artistic feedback for character designs and story direction. Additionally, I am familiar with all aspects of creating concept art and storyboards and can communicate artistic lessons in appeal, color concepts, and design compositions.

In writing, I am familiar with just about every kind of written medium, from fiction and scripts to essays and business letters. Throughout my time in college, I worked for the Academic Resource Center as a Writing Consultant and loved the job very much. Their motto was, "Make better writers, not better writing" and I took this saying to heart. I am not there to sit at your side and mark up your paper in red ink while you slowly lose confidence in your abilities. As your tutor, I believe it is my responsibility to work WITH you, to make sure you understand why certain things are incorrect and help you to improve your writing overall.

On a more technical level, I can teach almost any kind of writing. However, I have the most experience with essays and storytelling and can help with outlining, organization, sentence structure, character and plot development, tenses, points of view, and grammar and spelling errors. I also have a lot of experience in literary analysis with the use of symbolism and themes. No matter what kind of writing you have, I'd love to help you improve your work.

Overall, I believe in positive and encouraging feedback. I like to make sure that my students actually understand" less...
