Experience

I have been offering one-on-one, private tutoring sessions since 2007. I specialize in video editing, motion graphics, post-production workflows and video production, but I also cover a menagerie of topics regarding electronic media. My previous students have varied in age and experience from beginning students in middle school, to fellow professional editors I have been working professionally as a video editor for over 10 years. As a freelancer, my previous clients include Nike, Sears, Mastercard, Fannie May, Groupon, TED talks, and many others. My personal work has screened on PBS, the Independent Film Channel and the Today Show. My short films have been official selections of the San Francisco Asian American International Film Festival (now known as CAAMFest), Zompire Film Festival and The 2nd annual Chicago Food Film Fest. I received a George Foster Peabody Award for my contributions to the “Beyond Borders: Personal Stories From a Small Planet” documentary series. I also created the winning video entry for Groupon's "Live Off Groupon" contest. I work as a tutor because I feel it is a truly beneficial way to contribute my experiences. I can sympathize with the toil of learning new software and hardware, or the relative shock of entering the professional world after only having experience in a personal and creative one. Having effective instructors made all the differences in my own career, and I wish to be able to help others in the same way. It's a privilege to be able to assist and advise the creative processes of others, and I love seeing the progress and personal successes of my students.
