I have a PhD in comparative literature, and I've taught literature, culture, and writing courses in a university setting, which has helped me develop my skills in taking my expertise and putting it in terms that are accessible to students. I also work as an online writing tutor for a public university. In addition to my academic credentials, I am also an award-winning novelist. 

Homework Offered
Students should submit the assignment instructions three days prior to our first meeting, along with a draft of any work that has already been completed, in order to allow me time to review the assignment and prepare my feedback. It would also be helpful if your student could indicate any specific questions they have about the assignment, and/or their goals for our time together. During our session, we will create a plan for the work that should be completed before our next meeting, customized to the needs of the student and the assignment.
