"I have been a middle/high school and college English teacher for over twenty years, and a professional tutor for the last nine years. Working with middle or high school students to help them become better writers and readers is my passion. I have a warm, caring and friendly personality, and enjoy working with teenagers from all backgrounds. I have many years experience as a professional, published writer; I can teach students everything from grammar to complex essay organization. I have also taught hundreds of high school and college novels, plays and short stories, and I love to make literature more accessible to students."
