Michael
Experienced College Instructor teaching English and Writing

Like many kids my age, I was more interested in playing video games and watching cartoons than reading a book. However, with the help of some excellent language arts instructors and my discovery of fantasy literature, I began to read more and write better. I... Read more

Compassion and patience are two components that need to be integrated into any teacher’s repertoire.

Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads (Doc Brown)
I have been a college instructor for five years. I've mainly taught introductory college composition courses; however, I have a strong background in literature. I like to think of my teaching philosophy as a mixture between the Socratic Method and avant-garde theater. I say this because I like to continually question the students until they arrive at the answer I am looking for, rather than directly tell them the answer I’m looking for. At the same time, I like to make analogies through cu... Read more
