After graduating, I taught English at a local college for fourteen years and then at the high school level for another six.

Hello! I'm Michelle, a writer and former English teacher. I graduated from Hofstra University with a BA in Creative Writing and an MA in Fantasy Literature. After graduating, I taught English at a local college for fourteen years and then at the high school level for another six. Much of my free time is spent writing for fun, and I have a solid background in both academic and creative writing. I'm a novelist and have extensive experience writing and critiquing different genres of fiction. One of the articles I wrote in my master's program was also published in an academic journal, and I spent a couple of years writing content articles for websites like eHow and Livestrong.

Teaching English is one of my passions, and I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities. I love teaching highly motivated college students how to write effective essays, and I love being able to inspire disengaged high school students who struggle in school. Most of all, I love helping students see how reading and writing can be relevant and fun.

Whether you need help writing fiction, drafting an essay, or simply understanding the finer points of grammar and punctuation, I'd love to work with you!

I have extensive experience with both writing and teaching writing. In college, I earned degrees in creative writing and fantasy literature. One of my articles was published in an academic journal, and I also wrote hundreds of content articles for several online websites. For over twenty years, I've taught writing at the high school and college level. In my free time, I enjoy writing fiction, and I've spent several years working as a freelance developmental editor.
