Information About Evenstar:

Personal Description:

I am a 32 year old American expat documentary filmmaker and freelance media producer. I have been living in the United Kingdom for four years. I originally came here to do my Masters degree at Goldsmiths College, University of London in Documentary Filmmaking and decided to stay on. I have spent my time in the United Kingdom attaining a Masters degree, working as a Multi Media and Film Tutor and working in freelance Media Production. I consider myself to be outgoing, friendly, understanding and compassionate. I like working with both children and adults alike in a creative, fun and open way.

Teaching Experience:

I have spent over two years teaching young disabled adults filmmaking and media skills. During this time I taught my students how to make music videos, Film editing skills, film history, Lighting and sound techniques and script writing skills.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that tutoring needs to be tailored to an individuals needs and way of learning. Everyone learns differently so therefore everyone needs to be taught differently. When I take on a new tutee the first thing I do is spend a bit of time getting to know that person and to access the ways that they like to learn and what it is that they want to learn. I then work with that person to help them achieve their goals. I believe it is important to check regularly with a tutee to make sure that they have an understanding of what is being taught. I also believe that learning should be fun and that it is important for a tutee to be able to grasp how what they are learning will be useful in the real world. If it is filmmaking or photography that I am teaching then I try to make as much of it as possible come from a hands on approach. The best way to learn is by doing. If it is art history that is being taught I believe the best way to do this is by actually going out, when possible, and seeing real art in real museums rather than looking at it in a book. This is how I first began learning about the subject and what inspired me to study it.

Qualifications:

• BACHELORS DEGREE IN ART HISTORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY
• MASTERS DEGREE IN DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING
