I taught grammar for 15 years at various universities in the United States. From my childhood until, finally, college--when I finally was exposed to very high caliber English professors that knew thei... r stuff and beyond and prided themselves on their hard work to do so, I asked my professor to help me with this grammar class--to bloody my papers, meet with me after class--to please take the time my teachers had never taken to help me yet. And she certainly did. After that class, I still needed to know every part of sentences and how they work and all the more elusive-sounding clauses and when and when not to use a comma, and I was still a little rusty on who and whom. I poured over every advanced grammar book I could. None of them explained the English sentence, its parts, and how they work in a way that I knew to be 100% correct until i discovered The Oxford English Grammar. I went through that book cover to cover, closed the cover, opened it again. I promised I would know these rules like I knew the veiny backs of my own hands. Now I do-- and I give students what my teachers didn't give me in my youth-- understanding of how sentences work and how to use them to make your most urgent dreams come true --in extremis--the fast, easy, and FUN way. read more

Hi, I'm Rhonda and I live in Avon, Indiana. I am a former, award-winning English professor turned medical and health writer who tutors and teaches on the side. I believe any student can accomplish v... irtually anything they set their mind to with a little bit of motivation and the right guidance and most of all -- the desire to achieve that goal and the willingness to practice, practice, practice until they nail it. And with practice -- (which means homework, studying, and wanting to be something greaat) you CAN achieve any goal you set your mind to. The more goals you set and then achieve the more you'll want to achieve. I love tutoring because it allows me to really concentrate on an individual student and the possibilities are endless for learning then!read more
