Private tutor in Manhattan, KS

Education

Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Wichita State University. Bachelor of Arts in English from Kansas State University.

Experience

Over a dozen years teaching English Composition, literature, and writing courses allows me to appreciate how students feel about the challenge of essay assignments. My experience with English Comp. began way back when I tutored as an undergraduate at K-State then taught Composition 1 and 2 as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Wichita State University. I have gone on to acquire a decade of experience teaching college writing courses, including at Kansas State University, Washburn University, Baker University, Ottawa University, and Barton Community College. My assignments have included beginning, advanced, and developmental composition classes. I held a lectureship at Washburn from 2003 to 2008 during which I co-created the Department’s Developmental English course. Whatever your worries and goals, we will work together to reframe the creative process, so the emphasis is on its value rather than the struggle. Remember that your own uniqueness serves as the wellspring of intellectual pursuits. Pitfalls and defeats in the classroom are not signs of unworthiness but part of learning.
