Experience Summary
I recently graduated from Gordon College with a degree in English Literature and a concentration in Creative Writing. I manage two personal blogs, which include my non-fiction stories, poetry, and artwork, and I have published 5 different articles for various Gordon journals. In high school, I took all Honors English courses, and received college credit for my English AP Exam. At Gordon College, my essay writing abilities, as well as my breadth of creative writing, rapidly developed as I typically had 3-4 writing assignments a week. Writing has become a hobby and a career path for me, and I help others write, edit, and consolidate their ideas.
Courses taken include:
Intro to Creative Writing
Advanced Creative Writing
Journalism 1: News Writing
Journalism 2: Feature Writing
The Literary Journal
World Literature
British Literarute 1&2
American Contemporary Literature 1945-Present
The Great American Novel
Creative Writing: Poetry
Teaching Style
My teaching attitude is patient, articulate, and meticulous. I have clients come to me with a writing purpose - an essay, a specific assignment, or the desire to write creatively purely for fun. I make sure I help an individual say exactly what they want on paper in a non-generic way. I encourage clients to be creative and to challenge the formulaic patterns of writing, while still respecting writing assignment expectations and goals.
I help in the following areas:
- Grammar & Editing
- Organization, Outline & Structural Development
- Exploratory creative writing exercises
- Teaching literary elements and techniques using the Bedford Literary Glossary
- Essay Writing (Persuasive, Critical Analysis, Evaluative, Personal, Feature, Editorial etc)
