"I'm a retired teacher with ten years experience in middle school public education. I hold a current educator's certificate in North Carolina for Secondary English (grades 6-12).

My past tutoring has consisted of daily homework help for a sixth grader and facilitating a writing workshop for sixth and seventh graders in a charter school.

I'm an excellent writer and editor. I've written for a major U.S. newspaper as well as regional and local publications. My mechanic/conventions skills are especially strong - vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I won every spelling bee in grammar school!

I'm especially interested in tutoring writing and enjoy sharing my love of writing with young people!" less...
