쓰기와 편집을 개선하세요: 2부 | 빠르게 문장 분석하기

All young students can write; but, I have found that few know how to revise. I wish to give students lifelong skills to become confident editors of their own work. I have a particular interest in teaching students how to fix unclear and bloated sentences. 

I want to take the mystery and pain out of the editing process. 

I believe in learning through doing and learning by making mistakes! I believe in practice, practice, practice! My class time is dedicated to doing plenty of "old-school" exercises and speed drills.

I received my bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of Toronto. I received a Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology, also from the University of Toronto. During my graduate studies, I was a teaching and grading assistant, providing feedback on hundreds of freshmen and sophomore papers. I realized that many high school graduates were underprepared for college-level writing assignments. This experience has inspired me to create classes that better prepare students for writing beyond high school.

I also have extensive experience as a successful grant writer. I have been writing grants for over two decades, and I have worked as a freelance grant writer at not-for-profit organizations and fundraising companies.

I am also an avid musician. I grew up playing the piano. This year I began learning the theremin. If you are not familiar with the theremin, I encourage you to find out more about this odd-looking musical instrument!
