Charles S.
Private tutor in Dallas, TX
Education
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Great Texts of the Western Tradition from Baylor University, and I am currently earning a Master of Arts in English Literature from the University of Dallas. I scored very highly on my SAT, though I took it some time ago; in particular, I achieved a perfect score on the verbal portion, and when I took the GRE many years later, I again scored perfectly on the verbal and writing portion of that test. In my current master's degree, I hold a 3.9 GPA.
Experience
I have previously been a tutor of English, Latin, and Creative Writing at the primary and undergraduate level. I enjoy working with students, and I believe that everyone of every age should aspire to mastery in reading and writing. In addition to my academic abilities, I am both a commercial writer and a creative writer. I have written ad copy for clients, have edited and proofread at the professional level, and have had several short stories and poems published.

Hobbies
I love to read, I love to write, and I love to discuss. In my spare time I write short stories, novels, poetry, screenplays, and television scripts. I have a deep love of the great works of Western literature; my favorite writers include Melville, Borges, Faulkner, and Gene Wolfe. I adore the plays of William Shakespeare, as well as the Iliad of Homer and the Comedy of Dante; I dream, some day, of writing a work of literature that is as great as these.
