Nice to meet you! I'm Dr. S. I’m a tenured college professor with over twenty years of experience teaching writing and literature, and I serve as the Director of the Writing Center at Trinity Christian College. Before entering higher education, I taught high school English for six years, and college English for the past twenty. As Director of the Writing Center, I’ve trained tutors to become the very finest at their craft—helping them work with students holistically, helping them grow intellectually, creatively, and personally. I’m also a successful writer with an extensive portfolio across academic and creative genres, and I bring that same love of language to my teaching. I can help students find their voice just as I found mine.
Across these years, I’ve helped literally thousands of students—from high schoolers polishing their first essays to college seniors preparing graduate school applications. They’ve learned to find the words and confidence to express complex ideas clearly. My approach combines structure and mentorship: I teach students how to plan, draft, and revise strategically rather than just fix sentences, showing how strong writing works—how arguments build, paragraphs flow, and sentences earn their rhythm and force. My students often leave not just with stronger papers but with new confidence in their own thinking and voice.
Whether your student needs help with AP English essays, college application statements, or college-level writing assignments, I can meet them where they are and help them take the next step forward. Writing well isn’t just a skill for school—it’s a lifelong foundation. I’d love to help your student discover how rewarding it can be to write clearly, think deeply, and communicate with confidence.
