I studied English Literature in undergrad, spent a semester abroad at Oxford University, and completed an honor's thesis on the Russian novelist, Fyodor Dostoevsky. My graduate studies took me to southern California and Wales. My two master's degrees were in history and theology, with a focus on 19th century America. I worked as the program director at a Christian study center at an Ivy League school. I have taught at the college for five years, and my courses included: Composition I-II, ancient history, Medieval and Renaissance history, world religions, and theology. I have included reviews from my students below.
Are you wanting your studies and writing to be more than mere routine or just for the grade? Many students find school boring or even pointless. Or do you need to improve your writing to grow in your studies? I like to dig into the reasons behind learning with students and develop their thinking through writing. Writing is a craft and at the heart of learning because it is how we think out loud (after a fashion). Students will engage their writing as a craft, and together we will hone that craft so you can tackle class essays and the writing sections of exams with strategies and excellence.
