Dear ATEG members,

I've enjoyed listening in on this list for the past month or so.  I am a
self-proclaimed "grammar snob" and enjoy finding others who think the
discussion of grammar is not only worthy but even, dare we say it,
enjoyable.

Unfortunately, it seems that true grammarians are a rare breed.  That is why
I am writing to this list.  I work for a company called Tutornet.com, which
offers real-time, interactive tutoring over the Internet.  Until now, math
and science were the only subjects offered; I am now responsible for
launching an English/Language Arts department.

Each applicant must take academic skills assessments.  Reviewing these
scores, I have found many tutors proficient in writing skills and literary
analysis but few with high marks in grammar.  I think this is a crucial
skill to be taught, and a crucial topic for Tutornet to offer.  Each
individual, from the elementary school student first learning to write a
sentence to the retiring businessman putting together his last presentation,
needs to know how to manipulate the language correctly and effectively.

Tutornet needs skilled grammarians! If any members of this list would be
interested in working from home 3-10 hours per week, tutoring over the
internet, please send your resume to me at [log in to unmask]
Applicants must possess a bachelor's degree or higher, pass a security
check, and have access to a computer with an internet connection.  Hourly
wage varies based upon education and experience.  We are also looking for
grammarians with experience in ESL and Spanish language.  For more
information about Tutornet, check out our web-site at www.tutornet.com.

Thank you for your time.  I look forward to continued reading.

Yours in grammar,
