Experience

Met individually with thirty tutees per semester to revise writing projects with special attention to style, grammar, and coherence of argument.
University Lecturer

I designed and individually led 4 undergraduate courses in composition and literature. My students ranged from freshmen on their very first day of college to second-semester seniors taking a last class in their major. My experience creating and grading their assignments makes me an expert not only in what it takes to write A+ college papers, but also helps me prepare high school students for university-level work.
