I hold a PhD and am the author of two award-winning books of poetry. Over the past decade, I have worked extensively with college students and adult learners, helping them develop strong writing skills, craft compelling essays, and achieve their academic and professional goals.

My tutoring approach is highly personalized and empathetic: I listen carefully to each student’s needs and tailor my guidance to their unique strengths, goals, and challenges. I have helped students gain admission to top-tier undergraduate and graduate programs, win national scholarships and fellowships, and even publish books. Whether we are refining an essay, preparing for a writing assignment, or developing broader study and writing strategies, my focus is on building both skill and confidence.

Sessions are conducted remotely and can be scheduled flexibly to meet urgent deadlines or ongoing academic needs. My goal is to make learning productive, engaging, and empowering, so students feel prepared, confident, and supported every step of the way. I look forward to helping you achieve your writing and academic goals.
