Teaching

I am a Tutor (tenure-track) in St. John's College's "Great Books" program, where I lead small tutorials and seminars in literature, philosophy, history, language, and mathematics. Prior to this, I taught at Harvard for eight years, for courses in the English department, the General Education department, and in the Writing Program, and on topics ranging from Milton's Paradise Lost​ to the contemporary American novel.  I also served as the Writing Director for Humanities 10, Harvard's flagship introductory humanities course for first-year students.  I received Harvard's Excellence in Teaching Award nine times.
