"I was an adjunct instructor for Syracuse University for 28 years during which I taught college freshman English and a course on literary theory. The synthesis essay and thesis paper were emphasized in both courses. So, if a guided revision of your essay or an in-depth discussion over a particular reading will benefit you, please contact me. I will teach you analytical strategies to use on future papers.

In addition, I have taught both Public Speaking and Debate. Observing my students grow into confident, articulate speakers has been a significant highlight of my career. My students, when I could convince them, often joined the Debate Team. As coach, this afforded another opportunity for me to further develop their skills in Congressional debate. Their commitment to honing their debating skills resulted in the team's earning the award of Congressional State Champions 8 consecutive times.

My wide experiences, together with my ability to listen and intuit what students need, enable me to create personalized and effective experiences for both high school and college levels.

I look forward to helping you achieve academic success." less...
