College Writing Instructor | Essays, Literature & Creative Writing

Cree P.

I’m a university English instructor, published writer, and experienced tutor with an MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) from Louisiana State University and more than eight years of teaching experience. I currently teach at the University of New Orleans, where I have taught composition, literature, creative writing, and fiction.

I specialize in working with college students and advanced high school students who need focused support with a specific writing or literature task. Sometimes you don’t need weekly tutoring—you need an experienced instructor to help you get unstuck, prepare for an upcoming assignment, or work through a challenging piece of writing.

I’ve helped students prepare for in-class essays, develop thesis statements, organize academic papers, strengthen literary analysis, incorporate textual evidence, and improve the overall structure and clarity of their writing. I also work with creative writers. My tutoring experience includes guiding students through poetry development and revision, with attention to imagery, word choice, line breaks, structure, emotional impact, and voice.

I have experience working with students with IEPs and other learning needs and can adapt the pace and structure of a session accordingly. Rather than simply correcting a student’s work, I use guided practice and break challenging tasks into manageable steps so students understand how to approach the work independently.

Whether you have an essay due soon, need to prepare for an in-class writing assignment, are struggling to organize your ideas, want help understanding a literary text, or need feedback on a creative-writing project, we can use our session to focus on the specific problem in front of you and develop a practical path forward.
