Experienced English teacher and private tutor with extensive knowledge of English grammar and style. Can assist with revision as well as editing / proofreading. I have experience working with elementary school age children to college age students, with most of my experience coming from teaching eight years at the secondary level. I have experience teaching grades 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and underclassmen in college (tutoring). I am currently the Teacher of the Year for the largest high school (2500 students) in my county and enjoy a strong reputation for improving students' writing and test scores. I also worked in college at a highly acclaimed Writing Center in which students from all disciplines came for help with their documented papers and essays. I am most comfortable in MLA format but have the capacity to brush up on APA style as well. I possess resources and contacts through teaching materials and colleagues to help me answer any question that I may not immediately know myself.
I am also an accomplished speech and public speaking coach (National Forensic League Diamond Level) with extensive experience revising and editing speeches for clarity. I have been coaching public speaking for five years and participating in speech events for fifteen. My students have enjoyed considerable success at the local, state, and national levels.
