I taught English at a university for 12 years. Mostly I taught freshman writing classes that involved writing arguments and analytical essays. I can help you improve your ability to develop thesis statements, topic sentences and supporting ideas. I taught grammar as part of my classes, so I am also comfortable helping you acquire grammar concepts and to learn to more effectively proofread. I also taught literature classes and can help with analyzing.
I have always worked closely with my students to improve their skills. I met individually with each student at least twice in the process of writing an essay. Much of the skill building that took place happened as a result of those tutoring sessions. I enjoy seeing students' faces light up when they "get" a concept. It is a rewarding experience for the student and for me.
I have over 10 years of experience working closely with students to improve their writing abilities, including coming up with an idea, developing it, writing the paper, editing, and proofreading.
Contact me for more information. I think you would enjoy working with me. I'm enthusiastic, encouraging, and positive. I have a flexible schedule and can meet you near where you live.
