"I have by B.A. in Political Science and M.A. in English literature from Boston College. At Boston College, I taught first year writing to freshman students, earning an instructor rating of 4.50/5.00. As a teacher, I met with each student one on one, focusing on structure, grammar, diction, and syntax. In graduate school, I worked as a teacher at Phillips Academy Summer Session, and I taught creative writing as well as debate. Most recently, I was an eighth grade English teacher. Because I have worked with middle school, high school, and college students, I am adept at identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses. I know that writing is a difficult skill, but I am confident that I can help you improve." less...
