Hobbies

I believe in the individuality of every person; each one has their own strengths and their own areas of opportunity. Because of this belief, I enjoy working one on one with people from all walks of life. I thoroughly enjoy the English language, and as a result I spend my time helping others understand it and use it effectively. This is why I tutor for composition. Everyone has the ability to write and to communicate: sometimes they need help seeing that truth. In my spare time I read about the English language, from well-known theorists to more fun explorations (such as the history of the Pun that I am currently reading). I also enjoy reading science fiction fantasy novels, especially Piers Anthony's Xanth series.
