    College Essay Brainstorming, Drafting, Editing, and Finalizing
    The personal essay is often a stressful and difficult part of a college application.

In this workshop style class I will be working with students to develop a complex personal narrative in their essays.

I am aware of all the pitfalls one can encounter in this really challenging process and am therefore transparent with regards to not only the quality of the paper but also your work ethic in order that you can then obtain the best piece of work possible.

    English Tutoring for Essays and Literature Classes or Creative Writing
    Writing essays or a creative writing piece does not come easily to everyone, but learning how to analyze, interpret, and discuss literature in essays, as well as in life, is essential. It is important for younger generations to learn media literacy in today's age and learn how to write about different ideas and opinions without the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The trouble begins with picking a thesis, followed by structuring an essay. As a top essayist in my alma mater's English department, I believe I can help students compose a well-argued and well-structured essay for their literature classes without the use of AI and to help teach media literacy, with the help of close reading. I can also help with creative writing assignments from a structural standpoint by offering tips and constructive feedback.

    Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and Reading
    Despite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall. With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend. In attending my course, you will practice: - 1:1 help with essay edits and writing - Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material - Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level - Line editing and peer review
