Bio

I teach students how to turn their ideas into writing that is clear, precise and distinctly their own.

My approach comes from journalism, where strong writing begins with understanding what you want to say, why it matters and how to make someone want to keep reading.

My approach comes from journalism, where strong writing begins with understanding what you want to say, why it matters and how to make someone want to keep reading.

I studied Journalism at the American University of Paris before continuing at the University of Miami, where I reported on health and politics and produced podcasts for the South Florida community. At The Pioneer in Berlin, I covered German politics and economic developments, while also reporting on the 2024 Olympics and the U.S. presidential election.

That experience shaped the way I approach writing today. Whether I am helping a student develop an academic essay or tell their story through a university application, we begin with the ideas before we worry about the words.

I have helped students gain admission to Columbia University, Stanford University, American University, the University of Miami and Russell Group universities across the UK.

Together, we find the story, build the structure and refine the writing until every idea is clear and every sentence has a purpose.

I also teach students how to use AI thoughtfully. It can help develop an idea, challenge your thinking and refine your work, but it should never replace your voice.

The goal is not simply to write a better essay. It is to become a better thinker, a more confident writer and a more compelling storyteller.

Good writing starts with good thinking. I teach students how to put both on the page.

Approved Subjects

College Counseling

College Counseling

I have always been fascinated by the stories people carry with them and how those stories can shape the opportunities that come next. Through helping countless students with their college applications, I have learned that a strong application is not about trying to become someone an admissions officer wants to see — it is about understanding what makes you distinctive and learning how to communicate it with confidence. I have helped students gain admission to Columbia University, Stanford University, American University, the University of Miami and Russell Group universities across the UK. I bring a journalist’s eye for storytelling and a genuine passion for helping students find their direction, strengthen their applications and present the most thoughtful and authentic version of themselves.
English

English

I hold a BA in Journalism from the American University of Paris, where I learned that good English is about far more than grammar — it is about knowing exactly what you want to say and finding the words to say it well. My work in journalism, from reporting on politics and health to producing podcasts and writing for an international audience, taught me to listen carefully, think critically and communicate with clarity. I have always been fascinated by the power of language to shape an idea, tell a story and make someone see something differently. I bring that curiosity into my teaching, helping students strengthen their English while becoming more confident, thoughtful and purposeful communicators.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and extensive experience writing, editing and developing essays across academic and professional settings. I have helped numerous students strengthen college application essays, academic essays and long-form written work, including essays in fields such as marketing, international human rights law and philosophy. My own academic writing includes my Bachelor’s thesis, “The Misuse of the Term Genocide on CNN in 2024,” as well as analytical work such as “Hegel’s Aesthetics on Music Accompanied by Billie Holiday’s ‘Strange Fruit.’” I teach students how to develop a strong argument, organize their ideas, write with clarity and purpose and create essays that remain distinctly their own.
German

German

German has always been an important part of my life, both personally and academically, and I have used the language throughout my experience in Germany and internationally. My mother is a German teacher at a local elementary school, so I grew up with a close role model who showed me from an early age how rewarding it can be to help someone discover a language. My own work at The Pioneer in Berlin brought me into daily contact with German politics, culture and current affairs, while my journalism background taught me to communicate ideas clearly and thoughtfully. I bring that same combination of language, cultural understanding and communication skills to my teaching, helping students become more confident in German while developing a genuine connection with the language.
Proofreading

Proofreading

Over the years, I have helped countless students polish their college applications, and I have come to love the careful process of making good writing shine even brighter. When I proofread, I treat each student’s work as if it were my own, paying close attention not only to grammar and punctuation but to clarity, rhythm, structure and the small details that can make a piece feel complete. I never want to take away what makes someone’s writing theirs — I want to bring that voice into sharper focus. There is something deeply satisfying about taking a piece that is already meaningful and giving it the final polish that allows its ideas, personality and story to truly come through.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and extensive experience researching, developing and editing long-form academic work. Beyond my own Bachelor’s thesis, “The Misuse of the Term Genocide on CNN in 2024,” I have helped students develop and refine theses across fields including marketing, international human rights law and other areas of academic research. I have supported students with everything from narrowing a research question and developing an argument to organizing research, strengthening analysis and refining the final written work. My experience as both an academic writer and professional journalist has given me a strong understanding of research, structure, critical thinking and clear academic writing.
Writing

Writing

I hold a BA in Journalism from the American University of Paris, where I learned to approach writing with curiosity, precision and a clear sense of purpose. My professional experience has taken me from reporting in Paris and Berlin to producing podcasts at the University of Miami, giving me the opportunity to write for different audiences and explore subjects ranging from politics and health to culture and international affairs. I have also helped countless students strengthen their academic writing and college applications, always taking care to preserve what makes their voice their own. I bring that experience into every lesson, helping students develop their ideas, find clarity in their writing and become more confident in putting their thoughts on the page.
