Experience
Hi! I am a seasoned educator and tutor with a Ph.D. in Literature, an M.A. in Literature, and an M.B.A. in international business. I have taught many, many students to write, read, speak, and think academically. Since 2005, I have worked taught in universities in China, Bosnia, the UAE, Afghanistan and Bahrain (teaching our troops!) and Cambodia. I recently returned to the USA. If you are feeling uncertain about your writing assignments, your English or Literature courses, public speaking, or standardized testing, I believe I can help! No one is born with the ability to read, think critically, and write an essay that will get people to stand up and take notice. These are skills that everyone must be taught to become successful, and they can be learned. Students often think they 'just aren't capable' of improving their skills, but as a professional who specializes in English and Writing, I know they are wrong. Every student, with the right motivation, systems, and tools can improve their skills. I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 20 years. As a professor, I know what steps students need to take to become better in writing, reading, literature, critical thinking, and public speaking. As a faculty member at universities and colleges for over 20 years, I know what will be expected of students both in educational settings, and in the professional world after they graduate. I love to work with students, and I have had a great deal of success in helping them to improve. I have developed proven methods to give students the help they need to write better essays, read with greater comprehension, and test more effectively. Most students tell me that I am funny, and that my lessons are far less 'painful than they expect them to be! I look forward to working with you-
