Update on Spanish Student #1

Alrighty, so it has been a pleasure so far working with my first client for Spanish tutoring. We've actually made a lot of progress and his grades improved significantly on his most recent exam, and he is moving along nicely with his year-end project. Also, his family is very nice and have treated me on a couple occasions to their homemade food--which tasted delicious! They live in Oceanside so it's easy to make it from my home base in Vista.

It's never too late to learn--get in touch with me to schedule an appointment for any of the subjects I teach!

First Blood...Er, I mean, First Lesson!

Alrighty, so I had my first client earlier this week. A high school student who wanted additional help with Spanish class. It felt very rewarding to assist someone in a language I am truly passionate about. After the lesson, we proceeded to play some Call of Duty: Black Ops! That was a nice refresher for me, since I hadn't played in over a year haha.

That's all for now, more updates to come as this thing really gets rolling. In the meantime, if you need help, let me know!

Hello World!

Welcome to launch for the beta version of Vic of All Trades!

I'm in need of some supplemental income and something meaningful to do outside of work, and you--or somebody you know-- are in need of help with at least one of the following:

Language learning, writing, translation, and the like for:

English

Spanish

Portuguese

French

Hindi/Urdu (beginning)

I can teach you the writing systems and phonetics (but not so much the spoken language) for: Russian, Korean, Arabic, and Punjabi

Getting organized:

Home and office clean-up

Reducing your paper clutter by digitizing your files and photos, cloud storage and backup

Setting you up and synchronizing your email, schedule, and files through Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, and more -- the best suite of free task management products out there!

Syncing your accounts on your smartphone or tablet and introducing you to other apps to increase productivity and efficiency

Spreading the word and marketing your business, brand, or cause:

Social media: I'll help you get set up on social media channels like Facebook, Google +, Twitter, YouTube Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, as well as mass email marketing tools like MailChimp

Sponsored personal advertising: I'll advertise for you by wearing a shirt with your logo, sticking a decal on my car, or even publishing your content on my personal social media channels that reach a widespread and diverse audience, which will help you get your name out there prior to starting up your own online outreach.

Academic tutoring:

History: general world history, U.S., Latin America,

Government and Political Science

Math up to algebra

English composition

Taking a load off and focusing on other things:

Event planning from conception to execution (this is a new venture for me, so my first few assignments will most likely be free or heavily discounted)

House sitting -- go ahead, enjoy that weekend trip! (as with the above, my first few assignments will likely be free, save for providing food)

Transportation -- let me be your personal chauffeur for your big date because neither of you wants to be the designated driver or deal with the hassle of finding parking in San Diego, or if you simply need a lift to the airport, the train station, a trip to LA (you can even tag along with me if I'm going) or any other time you may need a driver.

Capturing your precious moments -- I can follow and take pictures/video of you and your loved ones so you spend your quality time with them and have memories of it afterward instead of worrying about who's not going to be in the group photo. I'll even go to your child's game or recital to take pictures or record their winning moments when you can't make it!

Exploring San Diego -- let me be your tour guide around my corner of SD if you're new around here or even if you're familiar but just want someone to accompany you, because I love doing the same thing! It's a great way to discover what this beautiful place has to offer or even make new friends!

I may post other services, but if you see something here you want a helping hand with, don't hesitate to send me a direct message!

You stay classy, San Diego.
