...classes. I assigned, guided and graded hundreds of student essays in the past four years and as a result I am very comfortable sitting down with students to talk about all aspects of the writing process, ranging from sentence structure to the ordering of paragraphs. Another reason that I love talking to students about reading and writing is that I am those abilities everyday myself: I am currently writing my dissertation on Greek and Roman...

The joy of overcoming and truly understanding a concept felt by a student, whether it be Algebra or English grammar, is why I do what I do.
