"Hello, I'm Mary W! Success in any course of study depends upon a student's ability to read and write effectively. Maybe I'm biased, but I think English is the most important subject, for this reason.

I enjoy working with high school and college students to improve their writing skills, hone their test-taking approach to college exams, and grow an appreciation for reading and writing. I have extensive experience with essay, fiction, and academic writing, and I can teach approaches to editing your writing as well.

I'm a college-level professor of English and Writing, a published author, and an experienced editor. I have a B.A. in English from University of Denver and an M.A. in English from DePaul University, Chicago. In addition to teaching at Concordia University, Irvine, I have taught writing workshops for several years in and around Orange County.

Please do reach out with any questions!" less...
