"My name is Dwight, and I’ve been privileged to teach both college prep school Honors English and various college writing courses to motivated students for many years. I’m passionate about helping students to learn how to properly analyze good literature and write cogently and clearly about it. My writing courses focus on helping students learn how to clearly organize an essay or paper and convincingly argue its thesis with solid factual evidence from either a literary text or a student’s research. During my years of teaching, many students have returned from college to personally thank me for teaching them both how to analyze literature and to write well about it.

My collegiate academic and professional backgrounds are varied. Academically, I hold two Masters degrees in both Religion and Humanities, with an emphasis in literature, as well as all of the requisite advanced courses in English to pursue a doctorate in literature. My GPAs were 3.8 to 4.0.

The Honors English courses that were my regular specialties were American and World Literatures. Professionally, in addition to being an English teacher, I retired honorably from both the U.S. military and our U.S. Defense Department.

Kindly feel free to retain my tutoring services to help you with any aspect of your English courses, as well as assisting you to write about them well." less...
