Set goals. Get feedback. Nail that final draft.

Veteran or newbie, all writers need a good coach.

Whether you’re writing a cover letter, creating a website, applying to school, or writing a book, I will work with you to:

• Set realistic goals
• Develop your ideas
• Make steady progress
• Develop confidence
• Nail that final draft!

I make writing accessible to people of all backgrounds and abilities by using research-based methods of writing instruction. I offer in-person or online sessions of varying lengths and frequency, based on your needs.

My credentials:

• I’ve tutored hundreds of high school and college students, from the Dartmouth Institute of Writing and Rhetoric, to standardized test prep and college application essay tutoring in Minnesota.
• I earned my Master’s in Education from the University of Pennsylvania, studying the latest in the neuroscience of effective teaching and learning.
• I taught high school English at Deerfield Academy (MA) and Social Studies at The Blake School (MN), developing innovative and student-centered writing curricula.
• I’m currently pursuing M.A. in Journalism and Public Affairs at American University in Washington, D.C.
