I would like to tell you about my qualifications for tutoring you in writing and literature. In the course of my career of over 30 years, I have been involved in educating students in all age ranges in variety of topics. I started out my career by teaching on the high school level. I taught English to high school seniors in New Jersey and created many courses to stimulate them to explore not only English but the interdisciplinary connections between literature, art, and music throughout Western culture. In addition, I spent many hours teaching them how to write and organize their thoughts.

I later spent over 10 years teaching Freshman composition at New York University, Seton Hall University, and Middlesex County College. At NYU, I was a Teaching Fellow in the Writing program which entailed working intensely with students on their writing. Because of new methodology introduced into the Program, students had to keep journals and share their work with their peers. They also did extensive revisions of their work.

Ultimately for my PhD thesis I studied the writing process of four of my students and their reactions to comments I wrote on their papers. My thesis proved the need for real communication with my students on a one to one basis if they were to be successful. I followed this philosophy at Middlesex where one of my students won a National writing award for her essay on her autistic brother. At NYU, I also oversaw many of the administrative issues related to the Writing program including constant reviewing of what it takes to be a good writer.

Later in my career, I worked as a Director of Executive Management programs at Polytechnic Institute of NYU and was a mentor for many of the female students who went through the Program coaching them on their communications skills. I also required that they go through a kind of writing process when doing their research reports which included being very clear about their purpose for doing the research and outlining their argument. This exercise proved invaluable as
