I'm an
Individual
Given Emily Dickinson's comparison between a frigate and a book, my students travel! They discover diverse cultures and different historical contexts as they develop imagination, knowledge, understanding, compassion, integrity, close reading and good writing skills.
A professional writer and educator, I hold a Ph.D., M.A. and B.A. in my subjects of English Literature, German Literature in German, World Literature in Translation, Theater Arts and Text in Performance. In addition to researching and writing, I teach for the International Baccalaureate Program and am an examiner. I have taught many creative workshops for the Oregon Writing Festival and initiated a Young Authors Program in Minnesota.
Realizing that there is more to life and learning than our limitations permit us to perceive, I can guide you to learn how to unlearn limitations, learn new ways to learn, and learn what is possible for you, while you develop excellent reading and composing skills:
*K-8 reading and writing
*9-12 studies of literature in cultural and historical contexts
*composing interpretive essays and commentaries
*composing good arguments
*composing creative written tasks
*writing college entrance essays
Please contact me for an interview appointment by e-mail: [email protected]. I am keen to inspire, encourage and empower you to gain understanding of more possibilities for your education and your life.
Yours sincerely,
Melissa Ann Reed
