I hold a degree in political science and have built a professional career at the intersection of writing, public policy, and education. As a political speechwriter and communications strategist, I have spent years translating complex ideas into clear, persuasive writing for a range of audiences. That real-world experience informs how I tutor—focusing not just on content mastery, but on teaching students to communicate with clarity, structure, and purpose.

My tutoring background includes one-on-one support for high school and college students in both writing and social science coursework, particularly AP U.S. Government, AP Comparative Politics, and academic essay writing across disciplines. I’ve helped students strengthen thesis development, argumentation, and analytical thinking, while also focusing on style, grammar, and voice. Whether it’s a timed AP essay, a college application personal statement, or a research paper that needs direction, my approach is always hands-on, structured, and encouraging.

My goal is to help students become confident, independent thinkers who know how to express themselves effectively. I’ve worked with learners ranging from high school juniors preparing for college to undergraduates refining their academic writing. I adapt my instruction to meet each student’s needs and always aim to build skills that last beyond any single assignment.
