Writing shouldn’t inspire fear.
A good tutor inspires confidence.
Need to write a stellar college admissions application essay? Struggling with a writing assignment in school? I teach writers the process and confidence they need to approach writing with a new attitude. Instruction takes place over email/telephone or in person.
English & Writing Coach
Expertise: I break down the intimidating task of putting words to paper, clarifying the writing process. I help students see the purpose of their paragraphs and gain awareness of their audience. I convey my respect for and my belief in the potential of each student, and I am skilled in communicating my instruction and expectations. I judge the writing, never the writer, and watch my student’s comfort level grow.
Method: I evaluate writing through email exchange or in person, guiding revision and critiquing the effectiveness of all elements: content, organization, style, grammar and mechanics.
