Lon Wehrle
@lonwehrle
Adjunct professor and writing tutor helping students master composition, research, and ESL through clear instruction.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Adjunct Professor and writing tutor focused on helping students succeed in composition, research writing, and grammar. I design and implement curriculum, present course material clearly through Brightspace, handouts, and PowerPoints, and create writing exercises and reading quizzes that strengthen comprehension and analysis.
I also support students one-on-one in the Writing Center—planning, drafting, and editing essays to improve grades and confidence. Across my earlier roles teaching ESL and leading curriculum, I’ve built lessons and syllabi aligned to learning outcomes, adapted instruction to changing needs, and helped students integrate source material into effective, engaging research essays.
