Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have been teaching analytical writing both in the secondary and collegiate level for 16 years. I have found that most students lack the ability to write well because they have never had explicit instruction in writing a cohesive essay. I provide a strong framework for the essay and show students how to follow the steps to write analytically.
