Hi! My name is Noel Bruening. Orignally from Long Beach, CA, I am a happy Yolo County resident. I have a BA in English from UCD, and an MA from Sacramento State. I have worked at Sac State, UCD, and Kaplan Test Prep. I've taught English here at WCC since 1998. Recently, I've completed 5 courses in online teaching and Canvas. I teach 1A, 1X, 1B, and 42 (Shakespeare ðŸŽ). My courses always come with free online resources - no books to buy.
I love talking with my students and getting to know them. My goal is to help students do their best and gain confidence is skills in reading and writing. Each student has unique needs, and deserves a personal approach. I coach and encourage my students to become assets to their community through written and multimedia projects. The assignments, texts, and feedback are geared to motivate and strengthen student success.
Come to class, be curious, and ask questions!

This count includes only views we can identify as human. Search engines and AI crawlers made up a large share of the previous figure — one crawler alone viewed every profile on this site twice in two days.
Counting under the new method began in August 2026, so this number reflects recent views rather than a running total. It will grow as the term progresses.
