I've taught college level and high school English. My basic philosophy is that all writing is an argument whether it is a personal narration or a research essay using multiple sources. All writing is creative and I teach students how to writing informative writing using telling facts that give the reader pleasure.
I have a M.A. in English literature. I've taught and tutored invention, argumentative writing and general writing composition for many years.
I've been teaching for 20+ years. I've tutored over 100 students individually. I've taught many hundreds of students in college classrooms over the years.
