Education

Bachelors in English Language and Literature, General from SUNY College at Oswego

Masters in English Language and Literature, General from Wichita State University

Career Experience

For the past 10 years, I taught English composition, American literature, and technical writing at community colleges and a university, where I had the privilege of working with both traditional and non-traditional first-year students, military veterans, English second language students, and adult continuing education students. Before that, I worked as an editor for corporations and non-profits. I started as a journalist. I believe writing – and teaching writing – takes humility. To quote the great American writer Ernest Hemingway: “We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes master.” In part, I take that to mean respect the voice of the other person – whether that voice is a writer peer or student.

I Love Tutoring Because

I find the most reward working one-on-one with students because – let’s face it – students who take the time to improve their writing demonstrate a certain commitment, responsibility, and an eagerness to succeed. Those traits make for an enjoyable encounter for any educator.

Very helpful. The only difficulty that I had was that although our ideas are supposed to have lots of academic support, we are supposed to explain our personal interest in these ideas and it would have been helpful to be able to tell the tutor that.
