About Adi

Bio

I feel uniquely qualified to tutor young learners in writing and adjacent fields, thanks to my experience writing books for young adults, as well as the writing workshops I've given over the past ten years. As a native Spanish speaker and someone who's passionate about languages, I also love helping others learn languages.

Among my novels for children and young adults are Let's Get Lost (a YALSA Teens' Top Ten Nominee), Never Always Sometimes (recognized as a Kirkus Reviews Best Book) and...

I feel uniquely qualified to tutor young learners in writing and adjacent fields, thanks to my experience writing books for young adults, as well as the writing workshops I've given over the past ten years. As a native Spanish speaker and someone who's passionate about languages, I also love helping others learn languages.

Among my novels for children and young adults are Let's Get Lost (a YALSA Teens' Top Ten Nominee), Never Always Sometimes (recognized as a Kirkus Reviews Best Book) and Before Takeoff (an Amazon Editor’s pick). My work has been lauded for its authentic voice and relatable characters, qualities that are essential in resonating with middle and high school students.

As far as languages, I teach an online beginner Spanish class for young adults virtually once a week, have a weekly one-on-one student, and have also done large group conversational classes for adults.

Approved Subjects

Basketball

Basketball

My interest in coaching basketball began in college, when I worked as a team manager for the UNLV men's basketball program under head coach Lon Kruger. I then became a head coach for the elementary program at the American School Foundation in Mexico City, as well as serving as an assistant coach for the JV and Varsity high school teams.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I'm a traditionally published author of 10 books for young adults and children, with over 250,000+ lifetime sales. Additionally, I've ghost written an adult thriller, have published a handful of short stories in anthologies and collections, and have mentored up and coming writers. I've spent the past 12 years in the publishing world, not only writing, but visiting schools, attending book festivals, and running writing workshops.
Fiction Writing

Fiction Writing

For the past ten years, I've been writing books for young adults and children, all available through traditional publishers like Knopf, Simon and Schuster, and Harper Collins. My titles have sold more than 250,000 copies in that time. Additionally, I've published short stories in anthologies, edited a collection of short stories titled Come On In; 15 stories of immigration and coming home, and mentored unpublished writers. I've taught writing workshops all over the world, including at the Hong Kong Festival of Books, the Miami Festival of Books, and at the Windsor School in Nassau. I specialize in coming of age stories, literary fiction, magical realism, and comedic fantasy, but have experience working beyond these genres, including thrillers, rom-coms, and screenplays.

Teenager approved:)

Adi was a fantastic tutor— personable, warm, well-prepared, and smart. My daughter has had more than a few tutors and he is one of the few who really listened to what she was hoping to get from the lesson, met her where she was at, and helped her to feel prepared and confident going into her finals.
