I'm Lori, and I love writing! I spent nearly 10 years teaching writing at all levels from elementary to high school. I believe everyone can learn to write and write well. All it takes is understanding the writing process and letting yourself have some fun with the words you put on the page.

With Bachelors degrees in Journalism and History and a Master's degree in Library Science, my unique combination of skills and experiences allows me to help with writing, research, and creating the connections necessary to help you build compelling essays and stories.

Whether you struggle with structuring an essay, need help forming just the right way to say something, aren't sure how to finish that creative writing project, or have trouble turning a blank page into anything with words on it, I can help. In addition to my teaching experience, I am also a freelance writer and editor with more than two decades of experience. It doesn't matter if you need to write an email or a college essay, I promise, I've done it and can teach you how to do it, as well.

If you're trying to write that perfect college or scholarship essay, I have experience there, too. Students I have worked with have earned full-ride scholarships, been accepted to professional schools, and gotten into the colleges of their choice.

Need help with grammar rules or sentence structure? With more than 25 years of experience as an editor, I can help you learn and remember those pesky grammar rules, and together we can make your writing sing.

Writing doesn't have to be a struggle. We can work together to finish an assignment, build a resume, or craft the perfect essay!

College Essay Breakthrough

What scares high school senior the most? The dreaded college essay. Ask them to regurgitate arcane facts from Medical Europe- no problem. Complex calculus quizzes? Easy. But tell me about a community you value and how to can contribute to our community and it might as well be written in a foreign language. Fortunately my son has a great writing coach in Lori. She has been patient and kind, meeting my son where he is at in the process and offering encouragement and proven techniques to help get his voice down on paper. You can tell that she genuinely loves helping young people tell their story in a compelling way. Regardless of whether someone thinks it’s the right essay to gain admittance to university, it will be far more rewarding to have a process and love for writing that will supper him in his future academics and eventual career. Thank you Lori! We couldn’t have done it without you and I would highly recommend you to others.

Helped me begin and complete my scholarship essay

When I first approached Lori with my scholarship essay question, I had no idea how to answer the question or how to structure the essay. She asked me questions that helped me brainstorm and structure the essay. I know that I wrote the scholarship essay, but if it weren’t for Lori writing assistance I wouldn’t have had an understandable, grammatically correct essay to turn in. Thanks to her assistance the scholarship committee understood my story and I even won the scholarship. I still enjoy working with Lori on other assignments.

great teacher! super flexible! so nice!

I was really confused on how to approach my assignment. Lori helped me brainstorm ideas and then she met with me again to go over my project. She also met with me for longer than the meeting time and was so nice about it! She was so wonderful and made the tutoring process fun. She was knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. 10/10 experience. Will definitely meet with her again for future writing assignments!
