My name is Matt Kronzer, and I will be your instructor for English 20. I have taught English courses for about ten years and I enjoy helping students develop their academic writing skills. Teaching is a passion of mine because I believe in the transformative power of education. Individuals can significantly improve their quality of life through higher education and share their learning with their communities. Learning benefits everyone, and I am thrilled to play a role in this journey.
As a first-generation college graduate, I understand the unique challenges of higher education. I earned my degrees from UC Davis and Sacramento State, where I learned valuable lessons about navigating college life. I am eager to share my insights on the various options, resources, and expectations that come with higher education.
