I hold a PhD in Renaissance English from the University of Miami, an MA in English from Rutgers University, and a BA in English and Women's Studies from Pace University. I am currently an adjunct professor, teaching courses in college composition and a wide range of classes in literature including Renaissance literature, women's writing, world literature, introduction to literary studies, British and American literature, and more! One of my core principles as an instructor is public literacy: tutoring allows me, one-on-one, to tailor instruction to not only the student's current educational needs but also to the public arena(s) to which they want to contribute. Focusing on public literacy allows me to prepare students of all ages for their roles as academic contributors in high school and college as well as their professional roles later on. I believe that every student can, with some help, harness the power inherent in literacy of all kinds -- which increasingly includes digital literacy -- to achieve their goals and give back to their communities and families. As a college professor, I have a unique perspective to help younger students prepare for college or other educational endeavors, but also to help college students to prepare for graduate school and their careers. I hope I can help you improve your writing for academic or professional purposes, to understand literature on a deeper level, and to develop critical thinking skills to last a lifetime!

Some of my most used learning methods are mock debates for practicing argument in writing or literary instruction; I also frequently use collaborative close reading. Moreover, I focus on workshops and project-based learning to model ways students can adapt their ideas to digital conversations as well as academic or professional contexts. Weniger lesen
