Experience Summary
At Harvard University, for five years, I taught expository writing to first year students, focusing on critical thinking skills, the foundation of essay and argument. One of my classes was remedial. I'm a veteran award-winning journalist with nationally-known newspapers and a former Nieman Fellow in Journalism at Harvard, currently completing a novel. I'm particularly adept at working with students with special needs and learning differences.
Teaching Style
I ascertain the student's strengths and weaknesses and teach how to draw upon strengths to improve writing. I give detailed feedback throughout the writing process. I measure success by the student's increased confidence.
