Joseph Kirby

English teacher
I'm currently a freelance writer, English teacher, and mentor. Although I taught students from age two through seventy-two, I spent most of my classroom years teaching high school English and writing, also served as a new teacher mentor. I trained in the College Board in A.P. Literature, A.P. Language, and Vertical Teaming. Also, I have written an Adult ESOL curriculum for Palm Beach County and American Literature curriculum for an online high school course with KC Distance Learning. After leaving the classroom, I served as Executive Director and Master Tutor for a learning center specializing in college preparation.

When not working for https://writemyessaysos.com/, I'm making snarky political commentary at The Perpetual Post. I'm also blogging about law, politics, books, and human decency at Smart Angry Man. I'm also writing a book and a classically trained musician. I collect vintage Girl Scout handbooks and lives with a deaf epileptic Turkish Angora named Gracie, with whom she has deep and meaningful conversations about the nature of Life, the Universe, and canned food.
