I have taught college-level English and education classes since 1990, and also student-taught at the high school level.
I am very interested in my subject area, especially in the areas of creative writing and literature. I also have a strong
background in teaching Freshman Composition, and authored a textbook used in that class.
I have two Master's degrees--one in teaching English, the other in creative writing. I have always held a particular
interest in learning styles, and in tailoring my teaching to meet the needs of my students' learning styles.
More about my background in writing is detailed on the Freelance Writing and Resume portions of the site. Suffice
to say that I have a good eye for editing, and many students, colleagues, and clients have benefitted from my writing and
editing suggestions.
Below are some samples of consulting and tutoring projects. If you have an idea you would like to discuss,
