Gary P.
Private tutor in Sheboygan Falls, WI
Education
I attended the University of Wisconsin, majoring in journalism.
Experience
I am a professional writer and former newspaper editor. I also served as director of communications in the corporate arena. I am a recipient of state, national, and international first-place writing awards in the areas of education, business, politics, aviation, religion, mental health, the funeral home industry, features, and editorials. My stories have been carried globally by The Associated Press and other outlets. I've helped mold dozens of young reporters into respected members of The Fourth Estate. I now share those skills with others. I will change the way you think about language. Words are like musical notes: they make sounds on paper (and computer screens). Read your work aloud. Do you hear a symphony or a cacophony? You're not just jotting down words; you're writing lyrics. And, when you alternate sentence length, you create music. Your writing "sings." It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I will teach you to construct sentences that burn with energy and build to a crescendo. When you can do that, you'll be a writing rock star. I will help you turn pedestrian prose into language that soars. And that's a sure way to stand out in the competitive academic arena.
