For over a decade, I have been helping students to improve their language skills -- reading comprehension, writing, literature -- and their grades. I've worked at Elite Educational Institute to help students with test prep on the SAT and ACT college entrance exams, Mavin Learning Resources helping students ranging from elementary school to college level, and on my own teaching ESL, helping craft personal essays for college admissions, and consulting on scripts for stage and screen. My professional background also includes my own page on Yahoo! Sports where I wrote creative pieces and human interest features. I am a bestselling author (Boston Globe, 2012), published playwright, and optioned screenwriter. Along with that, my consultancy clients have found representation and even been staffed on television shows after working with me. Most of all, I have a very strong success rate for providing college applicants with a competitive personal portrait to present to admissions officers that stands out from the basic essays your peers are writing.
So what separates me from all other tutors? With my energy and personality, I'm able to bring out your best by making learning more enjoyable. I've had success making assignments more relatable by explaining them in a way that you'll be able to understand, with references to those hobbies and likes you have. The greatest benefit to you is my experience as a journalist which comes out when we are crafting personal essays for which I begin by treating you like my interview subject in order to craft the most dynamic picture of you possible. Though we will work together with me as your guide, you will ultimately have a stronger ability to work independently moving forward.
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Communications from Syracuse University and a Master's of Fine Arts in Writing for Stage and Screen from Lesley University. Most of my tutoring/consulting these days is done remotely, but I'm happy to meet in-person for a one-on-one session. Let's work together!
