There is no such thing as a bad writer. There are only writers who haven’t had enough practice yet.

When we talk about the other core subjects - math and science - and make comments on our weaknesses with them, we don’t say we are bad mathematicians or bad scientists: we comment about being bad at math or bad at science.

But with weaknesses in writing, we take on an identity and say

“I’m a bad writer.”

There are writers who haven’t had a lot of practice, writers who are new to a certain way of communicating, writers who were shamed because of their skill level, etc.

Writing is not some magical thing that people either have or they don’t.

Writing is a skill and ANYONE can learn it.

Testimonials

  • "Tasha is an excellent teacher and an A+ human being.

    Tasha was able to pull from her years as a high school teacher as well as an experiential learning mentor to come up with creative solutions. I was also able to witness her help dozens of individual students every semester. Tasha gave students specific feedback on assignments and suggested helpful strategies for students who were stuck, but most importantly she gave them her full attention and a listening ear.

    — Charla Strosser, English Professor

  • "Some of the greatest times of college were spent in Tasha Seegmiller's English classes.

    Tasha helped me find my voice in writing and putting it on paper. I remember sitting in her office as she helped me write down my ideas and clean up my narrative essay. I will never forget. She helped structure my paragraphs and helped make sure I understood the difference between narrative, argumentative, and descriptive essays. She was so good in my 1010 class that I specifically requested her for my 2010 class as well.

    — Lawrence Mbaki, former student

  • "I’ve had the opportunity to work with Tasha on many occasions and she has been nothing short of spectacular.

    Through her teachings, I furthered my understanding of personal voice, grammar, formatting, and organization of all different types of essays. From scientific reports to poetry analyses, she has jumped on the challenge. Tasha has a knack for giving feedback through open-ended questions, and answering those has furthered my ability to read and write comprehensively, as well as understand written texts and situations from different perspectives. The things Tasha instructs have been beneficial for me not only in writing but also in life.
