Does anyone here teach English/creative writing? · 12:51am Apr 22nd, 2014
Preferably at the post-secondary level. I'm supposed to be doing interviews for my get-a-job program and I put it off until the last minute and I am having a hard time getting people for it. D: halp
My buddy teaches Creative Writing for Sophomores-Seniors in high school. I could text him a few questions. Would that help?
Try talking to Chris? There seem to be a lot of English teachers on FiMFiction, but he's the only one I can recall. Not sure if he teaches post-secondary, though.
I could call in a favor, I think... Dad being a teacher, one of our good family friends is one of my best english teachers... Do you want me to ask?
My memory is that this is what The Descendant does. Have you already talked to him? I think he's at the secondary level, though.
I have a bachelors in English with a minor in fine art?

Elementary and Middle/Junior High School, Brade. Sorry, Present.
I think Chris teaches English. He teaches something, anyway. I swear it was English...
I used to teach English to high school students!
(But they were Japanese, and focused on farming, so we didn't exactly do creative writing. More like remedial friendly greetings.)
I'm assuming that this only applies to people in the United States?
I'm in ESL rather than mainstream English, so I may or may not count depending on what your program is actually expecting/looking for. It is at the secondary (middle school) level, though, which is basically post-secondary!
...Right?

I think I'd be okay with non-creative writing English instruction at the college level, but knowing about college level instruction is really going to be the major thing for me here.
2033304
College level? :O
2033357
Better get those burger-flippin' muscles built up.

I'm gonna go with "yes", if only because I don't think I'll be working outside the US, at least at first. :B

Soo... I have experience teaching at the college level, and I have experience teaching ESL (though it's not what I teach at the college level). No experience teaching creative writing though, but it sounds like nobody's winding up as a good fit for you here, so I figured I'd still give the fuller profile in case that was close enough. But I'm really a miss on the writing side.
2034640 I prefer to think of it as an alternate theory. There just isn't enough evidence to fully explore right and wrong here.
2034640
Sorry then. I wish I could help. I have contacts with ministers for education in the English department... but in my own country.
Buuuut if you ever want to move here... =)
Otherwise, get back in the kitchen and make me a freaking sandwich. =(
2034647
Are you currently teaching at the college level? :B And if so, what subject?
2034772
Have Stonershy do it, he's got the skill set. :V
2035035
NO. I WANT ONE FROM YOU.
You got the touch.
You got the power.
You got the Pålegg.

TOO BAD I WORK IN A FUCKING HOSPITAL hahaha

Yep. Mr. Fischer knows his shit. I dunno if he's still teaching, but I can inquire with dad, and he can poke around for me and get back to me.

I'm TA'ing intro statistics. I've taught the course myself twice, but now I'm just working in an assisting role. It still involves standing up in front of students any talking at them for two hours a week, but not being in charge of their grades, assignments, etc. That I haven't done in about three years.
2035972
Could you, please? I'd be ever so grateful. :D

Too far off my task, unfortunately. :/ Appreciated nevertheless.

What's the time frame on when you need a response?
2036333
I have to have the interview in-hand by Monday morning. So this week. D:
I teach English from ages 11-18, but I'm UK. Is that at all useful?
2036388
I'll call my old man either after work Thursday, or on Friday while I'm getting my all-weather tires put on, and see if he can put me in contact with Fischer. I might have other teachers I can talk to as well, but I can't promise anything there. Poke me on Skype when I get home Thursday night to remind me, and I'll get on that.

Like I said to KitsuneRisu, I'm thinking not, because I'm looking for US job standards. Thanks though. :)
2036490
That'll be cutting it close, but if it doesn't happen, I've got one and a maybe lined up, so I might just be able to pull this off. You've got my cell, right?
2038263
Ah well. I remain your ever faithful comrade in the war on poor grammar.
2038293
I thank ya. :D
2036490
That "one and a maybe" has now become "one done and one scheduled". I can do a third, but if you can't get this lined up, no worries. :) I'm home free!
2038515
Good to hear. I have your cell, but just in case you need it, I'll talk to dad after work tomorrow, see if he can put me in contact with Mr. Fischer.

Thanks. :D
