Bill's English Tutoring
About
As a full-time pastor, a regular part of my profession involves communicating publicly, taking care that I have avoided spelling, typographical, and grammatical errors. I am also challenged to communicate in a way that inspires and stands out. I have 25 year of experience in writting sermons, newsletters, and campaign materials. I am a voracious reader, have also read a significant body of literature, secular as well as sacred, contemporary as well as classic. I can aid students with technical writing style, as well as helping them to own a creative edge to their style. I graduated from Creighton University in 1988 with a major in psychology, and from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in 1994 and 1996, with Masters in Divinity and Theology, respectively. I can be of help to students with a range of challenges, from those who are struggling with basic writing skills, to those who want a bit of a competitive edge in their writing skills.
