Dear Wyzant Users,
I have a PhD in Journalism Studies from the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, University of Maryland.

My background therefore puts me in very good stead to assist you hone your reading and writing skills, and turn you into a captivating writer. As a tutor, I use the Socratic approach, which involves seeing my student as a fellow learner rather than as someone who knows nothing. This means that I will first closely listen to you, get to know what your interests are, help you to uncover your weak points, and then work with you to overcome your weaknesses and build on your strengths. No one was born a great writer; even world-class prize-winning writers must practice their craft consistently and tenaciously. Together, you and I can turn your writing into something that hooks your readers and keeps them wanting more from you.
