In Peter’s words

Twenty-six years teaching composition at Loyola, retired from the department and not from the work.

Bring a draft and a deadline; I return line edits inside two days.

  • 10min

    Bring last week's quiz, the homework that stalled or the syllabus. It gets read before anything else.

  • 15min

    You pick a question out of that pile and the two of you finish it together, out loud.

  • 5min

    A plan with the number of lessons written down, and no card asked for to hear it.

Every one of them left after a lesson with Peter

Two of the three schools asked about her essay at interview. We started it in July, which is the part I would tell any other parent.

My daughter writes fast and edits nothing. She reads a paragraph out loud now before she keeps it, and her grade moved from a C+ to a B+.

The timed essay was the part I kept failing. We built one outline I could write in four minutes, and the exam essay came back a 22 out of 24.
