About Deborah Lynn


Bio

I’m rather a nerd for all things English: essay writing, narratives, grammar, sentence construction, and punctuation. The details about how to use the English language are like a game to me. I believe all people can learn to use the English language and communicate their ideas clearly and masterfully. I love assisting students to write essays that analyze: literature, persuasive articles, works of art, songs--just about anything.

I’m rather a nerd for all things English: essay writing, narratives, grammar, sentence construction, and punctuation. The details about how to use the English language are like a game to me. I believe all people can learn to use the English language and communicate their ideas clearly and masterfully. I love assisting students to write essays that analyze: literature, persuasive articles, works of art, songs--just about anything.
My teaching colleagues came to me to review writings they were publishing to our colleagues because they trusted my knowledge of how English is constructed.
Seven years of tutoring, some in person, now, all online, is informed by 33 years of teaching public high school and, for a couple years, community college courses. For10 years, I guided juniors in AP English Language and Composition. Nearly every one who took the exam, passed it for college credit.
I do coach TIQA-TIQA-C: topic sentence, introduce and quote, analyze, conclusion.
After earning Rank One at UofLouisville, I created my portfolio and became National Board Certified Teacher in English, Youth & Young Adults.
I tutor online to support writers and earn an income beyond my other careers: audiobook narrating and producing, text editing (novels, non-fiction, applications, blogs, etc.), and garlic growing and braiding.

Grammar,

Grammar

During more than 30 years of experience helping students learn to express themselves well, I demonstrated for them how to use the constructions and rules of English. I'll give tips and tricks so you'll learn how to use grammar and mechanics well and to craft your writing as an artist does a masterpiece. I will analyze your revised draft of an essay or assignment for grammar, sentence construction, and punctuation skills for you to learn and apply as you revise the final draft. Lessons will focus on skills to learn in order to revise the essay and for future tasks.
Proofreading

Proofreading

For more than 30 years I've proofread and responded to student documents and devised lessons to help the writers learn how to improve their drafts to the next level. Even my colleagues would bring a document to me to proofread and suggest improvements, especially when they intended to publish it to our teaching colleagues and administrators--they trusted my knowledge and application of English rules and conventions. In your document, I will check for language flow, diction, appropriate headings and formatting as well as lower order elements: citations, grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation skills for you to learn and apply as you revise the final draft of your document. If Lessons are requested, sessions will focus on skills you can learn to revise all documents and to apply in subsequent writing tasks.

Writing

Ten years experience teaching students to write AP Language and Composition type Essays developed my skill in responding to student writers. Many courses and fields of study assign these types of essays (Review of Literature, Compare/contrast, Analysis of Fiction/Narrative for rhetorical and narrative devices, and narrative elements, Problem Solution, Description of a population, Case Study). Lessons will focus on skills needed to accomplish whatever task the prompt presents. A rough draft is a good place to begin a session so we can analyze what skills are needed in order to wisely focus our time together.

Perfectly fits my need

Deborah Lynn is a patient and experienced tutor. I was very confused about the grading of one of my writing assignment, and she helped me realize where I lost points. She thoroughly reviewed my work and helped me make my passage more clear.
