Hello everyone!
I am a writer and English teacher living and working in downtown Chicago. I have a B.F.A. from Baylor University and last year received my M.F.A . in Fiction from the University of Oregon. I most recently taught Freshman Comp at UO and Intro to Fiction. I've taught high school English and Drama in the public school system and have created lesson plans and substitute taught in every grade. I raised three daughters who together received millions in college scholarships and attended Dartmouth, Wellesley and DePaul. I have a talent for helping students prepare for choosing the perfect college and for writing that elusive essay, which is all about you! Writing about yourself can be difficult but I've helped many people navigate this time in their lives.
I am well read, have a lot of energy and know how to to teach to the individual child and specific learning needs. I am open to tutoring all ages and my knowledge lies in the Humanities. English, Creative Writing, Photography, History, Reading, and Writing.
Open to tutoring adults as well, if anyone wants to learn to craft a strong short story, novel idea, or screenplay.
My teaching style is down to earth and engaging, I have a big personality but am able to read the room and adjust my teaching style to match my student. Don't worry introverts!
I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
