About Fain RIopelle
I can teach you how to write.
When I fell ill during my high school years, I found that one thing I could still do from my bed was write—and I found that I was somewhat good at it. When I recovered, therefore, I spent the next few years of high school and college studying writing as a craft.
Along the way, while working as a writing tutor in college, I noticed that students kept coming in with the same issues in their writing. So, I set out to solve them.
That impulse—to help students avoid the avoidable problems—has taken me through teaching and tutoring for the better part of a decade. I have taught writing courses at the University of Virginia and Indiana University, Bloomington. I have designed and executed curricula for both high school and college-level writing. I have tutored in more places, and to more kinds of students, than I can always remember. I have researched the root causes of students’ writing problems, which are often found deep in the beliefs that those students bring to the writing process. Along the way, I have won awards for my writing, teaching, and research. Some of these include an Emerson Grant from Hamilton College to design a writing curriculum for high school students, the University of Virginia’s Balch Prize for the best M.A. Thesis in English, and an Antiphonal Award from UVA’s secret Z Society for “leaving an indelible mark on the University” through my teaching. Currently, I am studying, researching, and teaching at Indiana University, Bloomington, as a doctoral student in English, where I am digging even deeper into the ways that students do and think about writing.
