The expert in anything was once a beginner.” – Anonymous

Joanna Haeck, M.A.

Background

I have a Master’s in English (Rhetoric and Composition), and a Bachelor’s in Creative Writing, both from Western Washington University.  I taught English at the college level for almost 30 thirty years.

Expertise

My area of expertise is writing, reading, and study skills, and the bulk of my teaching experience has been at the college level.  I began working with primary and secondary students a few years ago, including ELL and special needs students.

Personalized Lessons

My lessons are tailored to the individual student, no matter their skill level. I bring a caring, friendly, personal approach to building each student’s confidence and proficiency.  

“I will certainly avail myself of her talents for future projects and recommend her unreservedly.”

“You are an excellent teacher and an even better mentor.  I learned so much in your class.”
