DAN: Hi, my name is Dan Barry and I'm a tutor in English and writing here at the Academic Success Center.

[DAN WALKS THROUGH DIFFERENT ROOM, HOLDS UP MUG]
Oh god, I'm gonna need more tea for this, aren't I?

[STANDING IN FRONT OF DIFFERENT BOOKSHELF, LAMP, AND DRAWING ON WALL. HOLDS UP FRAMED DIPLOMA FROM TUFTS UNIVERSITY]
I got my Bachelor's Degree at Tufts University, where I majored in English and minored in History.

[SEVERAL PLANTS (SUCCULENTS) IN TERRA COTTA POTTERS NEXT TO WINDOW]
I used to kill all my house plants but I recently started raising succulents and somehow they're not dead yet. They, uh, they even started producing little babies. Look at these things! Look at how cute. They're too cute. That, they can't be a real plant.

[DAN WEARING MIDDLETOWN PRIDE T-SHIRT]
I'm one of the organizers of Middletown Pride and we had our first festival in 2019. I still can't believe we had over 15,000 people show up and attend our parade and our festival. It was so cool, so bonkers, so positive, and i think for me probably the coolest part was seeing so many young people be out and about and finally feel like they had a safe space to be themselves.

[BACK TO DAN WEARING REGULAR RED AND WHITE CHECKED SHIRT]
Okay, so cool, that's me, whatever, but what about you? How can I help you? Well, maybe you struggle to put your thoughts into written words. Maybe you were just assigned your first research paper and you're having a hard time finding sources. Maybe you've gotten a couple essays back now and you feel like you keep messing the same thing up over and over again. I can help you with those things and it's free.

[HOLDS UP POINTER FINGER]
But wait, there's more...if you're starting to feel like maybe you're not so good at this adulting thing. Maybe you have trouble making time for studying because you're also juggling work and family responsibilities...Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of procrastination and all-nighters. Maybe you can do the work fine but you never seem to actually sit your butt down in a chair to actually do it. Maybe, you've got more than one major project due and whenever you try to figure out which one to do first your brain just goes and "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" and you shut off. I can help you with those things too. It's free. Book an appointment at the Academic Success Center, ask for me. Let me know if you want help with writing or with study skills. Bring your assignment so we have something to look at and discuss together. I want to see the syllabus and your first take at it and let's go from there. Nice to meet you.
