I am an English teacher with 18 years' experience proofreading and offering editing suggestions to my students as they hone their writing. I am available to use these skills to help budding and seasoned professional writers do the same, particularly during the summer months.I have an undergraduate degree in vocal and theatrical performance from Denison University, but I earned a living for 12 years as an executive level administrator, and after a brief respite to raise children, for the past 18 years, as an English and theater teacher. I am proficient in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel. I use both Dropbox and Google Drive to collaborate with my peers and students, and am proficient in the use of Google Classroom, Docs, Spreadsheets, and Presentation. I use the commenting functionality regularly in Word and Google Docs to proofread and offer editing and revision changes for my students.
As the Humanities Division Director at a classical college preparatory Prek-12 private school, I am also qualified to offer private tutoring in reading comprehension,grammar, word usage, literature analysis and essay writing, academic writing and documentation, research and the rhetoric process.
Though fluent only in English, as a classically and operatically trained singer, I have a limited vocabulary and basic understanding of Spanish, French, Italian and German.
