I have a master's from MIT and a bachelor's from the University of Chicago. By day, I am a freelance journalist who writes about Earth, planetary science, and astronomy for outlets like Science, Sky & Telescope, Smithsonian, WIRED, Ars Technica, and more.

Hello! My name is Hannah and I'm a professional writer looking to help students with their writing and college applications. I have a master's from MIT and a bachelor's from the University of Chicago. By day, I am a freelance journalist who writes about Earth, planetary science, and astronomy for outlets like Science, Sky & Telescope, Smithsonian, WIRED, Ars Technica, and more. I have also written an e-book for NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. I am now based in Washington, D.C. and am originally from the Philadelphia area.

I have been a tutor on-and-off for more than 6 years, specializing in writing, grammar, standardized tests, and college applications. I have worked with students ages 5 to mid-30s and am especially passionate about helping people write essays that are clear, compelling, and true to themselves. My experience as a one-on-one and volunteer tutor includes Varsity Tutors, Phoenix Tutoring (University of Chicago), National Honor Society, and countless friends and family members.

Staring at a black page can be scary - I face it all the time! As a writing tutor, I will help you or your child go from the brainstorming stage to an edited, proofread, ready-to-submit assignment or college application. I approach essay tutoring with a nonjudgmental, collaborative stance and believe that every student has the ability to write an engaging and artful story. I prefer online meetings and am a fast responder. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions and I look forward to working together!

Excellent!!!

"Hannah helped my son with his writing, and it was incredibly helpful! She guided him in organizing his thoughts and building on them to create a strong outline. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone in need of tutoring—especially for writing."
