I'm an award-winning journalist with 25+ years of professional writing and editing experience. I hold an M.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, where I developed expertise in research methods, media ethics and advanced writing techniques. I also taught middle school ELA and I speak Spanish.
My tutoring approach combines real-world professional experience with proven educational methods. I have mentored graduate students and early-career professionals in academic and professional writing. I've also coached reporters and writers, helping them improve storytelling quality, secure jobs and win awards.
I tutor high school and college students and early-career professionals in essay writing and structure, research methods and source evaluation, grammar, style and editing, college application essays, media literacy and critical thinking, professional writing and communication, public speaking, Spanish, and journalism and narrative writing
My teaching method focuses on breaking down complex writing tasks into manageable steps. I adapt my instruction to each student's goals and learning style.
I've helped high school students improve writing and test scores, and guided college students through successful application essays for competitive programs. I provide career mentorship for students interested in journalism and media careers. I also help writers grow on the job toward success. My professional credentials include multiple journalism awards from the Illinois Press Association, Society of Professional Journalists, and Florida Society of News Editors. I've been published in national publications and served as a senior editor at Newsweek.
I'll help you develop confidence and skills that last. My students consistently report improved grades, better writing clarity and increased confidence in their communication abilities.
I believe every learner has a unique voice worth developing, and I'm passionate about helping you find and strengthen yours.
