language coaching
I currently coach advanced English speakers online to help them perfect their oral and written communication. Real-world materials such as articles, literature, films, videos, podcasts, art, music, or students' own writing form an essential part of the class.
I have worked with college students, MA and PhD students, and professionals working in environmental affairs. I sometimes do live, online editing with my students so they can learn why I make the choices I do. Contact me for more information today!
My past teaching experience includes university classes on language, literature, and writing. We analyzed a wide range of literature by discussing content, style, and structure along with issues of race, gender, and class. As a scholar of religion, I also aided students in detecting underlying religious aspects in texts. With my guidance, my college students learned to write excellent research papers!
