ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Cameron: I’m a professional screenwriter with 10+ years of industry experience, including roles as a Writers’ Assistant, Script Coordinator, and Staff Writer on CBS’s "NCIS: New Orleans". I now write feature films full-time, with credits that include collaborations with Chernin Entertainment and Star Thrower Entertainment. Over the past decade, I’ve written more than 20 screenplays and pilots, sold pitches, been hired for rewrites, and developed projects with incredible producers and actors.

MY TUTORING APPROACH
I specialize in English, vocabulary, writing, and screenwriting. My approach is hands-on and practical; built on methods I’ve used both in college classrooms and professional writers’ rooms. I emphasize:

- Strong vocabulary and proofreading skills
- Story structure and character development
- A revision process that elevates good ideas into great writing
- How to receive and implement feedback effectively (an often-overlooked skill in schools!)

WHO I WORK WITH
I’ve taught and mentored writers of all ages and skill levels, from elementary students just learning how to express themselves on the page to advanced writers preparing material for professional submission. I tailor my instruction to each student, identifying strengths, growth areas, and strategies to uncover their unique voice.

MY GOAL
I want students to leave our sessions not only with stronger essays, stories, or screenplays, but also with a clearer sense of how to approach writing with confidence. I know writing can feel intimidating, so I work to demystify the process and make it an exciting, empowering tool for academic success and creative expression!
