When not tutoring, I enjoy reading (I'm in a memoir phase currently), playing with my dog, Darwin,...

...name is Nick, I'm an adult student at Towson University, and I'm studying to be an English teacher.

When I was younger I was a student who struggled immensely, but the truth is I found the passion for it,...
