Introduction: PUBLISHED WRITER WITH 30 YEARS OF EDITING EXPERIENCE. COLLEGE ENGLISH INSTRUCTOR FOR 30 YEARS. Give me an interesting (or even not-so-interesting) topic and I will find joy in writing about it. Give me a poorly written draft and I will enliven it, crisp it up, enrich it, and organize it down to the bone. And of course, it will be grammatically flawless. Need a good speech? Done. A Grant proposal? Yep. Short story editing. Poems. Long, arduous theses or dissertations. I edit and revise it all—successfully. We can start at the beginning, or from your well-crafted manuscript. My prices are kept low because I am retired and only work on projects I enjoy and believe in—that’s my reward for years of hard work. My website shows Portfolios of some of my writing, including technical, fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Check it out. TEACHING & TUTORING-ENGLISH AT ALL LEVELS For 30 years, I taught English at the college level, mostly composition. I began my English-teaching career in ESL. I have tutored graduate students who now have their Ph.d or Master’s. I have tutored high school students whose parents had almost given up on them. And now these young men and women are enjoying college. I have worked with adults struggling to learn basic English, who now comfortably converse with American colleagues and friends. I work with each student as a unique person, with unique learning styles and strengths. That’s how we succeed as teacher and learner.
