I too felt that I would have loved to have gotten the chance to hang out with her. The other great thing about her is that she listens to what I want, she does not get upset easily or makes ger own decisions about what to teach. We worked closely together and she always was on the same page as me. For creative writing or learning handwriting, I recommend this lovely tutor wholeheartedly! I hope to see her again in the summer!

Danielle came to our first session with a lot of material and creative writing exercises for me. She is clearly a talented and experienced writer as well as a good teacher. Booking creative writing lessons with her is worth every penny
Jessica K.

1 lesson

Even though I went in needing help with creative writing, I left with so much more. Everything we discussed was relevant to my line of work and I'm so excited to go to the library to read up on the books we discussed. I look forward to meeting with Tom again! Our next session is on grammar and I look forward to the insight he has to provide and how I can better myself even more.
