About Fran


Bio

Hello all! Why am I tutoring English? Honestly, it was a mean English teacher in 7th grade, and a Teaching Assistant my first semester at Cornell. I learned grammar rules at age 12, and style when I turned 18. Writing is NOT complicated, but it will make you stand out for the rest of your life. I have been writing professionally for decades, and I am a camp counselor at heart. I am a modern day, female Professor Henry Higgins--only I will be way more fun. I promise to make our sessions...

Hello all! Why am I tutoring English? Honestly, it was a mean English teacher in 7th grade, and a Teaching Assistant my first semester at Cornell. I learned grammar rules at age 12, and style when I turned 18. Writing is NOT complicated, but it will make you stand out for the rest of your life. I have been writing professionally for decades, and I am a camp counselor at heart. I am a modern day, female Professor Henry Higgins--only I will be way more fun. I promise to make our sessions productive and inspiring.

I will teach you when to say "you and I" and when to say "you and me". I will teach you the difference between "less" and "fewer" (yup...there IS a difference.) You will learn when to use a period and when to use a semi-colon. You will learn the trick of using "good" versus "well". I promise you will write and speak better than most newscasters!

Adults appreciate the coaching I provide with the English work--at all levels!

Contact me. No obligation. My mission is to help kids and adults get a step ahead! Parents and students, first meeting is free. I hope to hear from you!

Fran is an interesting, intelligent, and talkative tutor.

Fran has always been a great tutor before and in the future. She helps me strengthen my pronunciation, and makes me more confident in reading or reading out loud. Fran is an interesting, intelligent, and talkative tutor. She can catch those small mistakes I make all the time and then guides me to improve them or create a better sentence.

Knowledgeable and Effective English Writing Coach

Fran is helping me improve my writing. We edit my writing together. Fran points out where I should revise sentence structure. Then, she does a great job of explaining why the changes are suggested. She covers the underlying grammatical rules in the process. Fran is positive, supportive and has a caring personality.

Fran is an amazing mentor, guide and tutor!

Fran has been a great tutor, mentor, guide whatever one may want to call. Her ability to understand the other person very deeply is her greatest strength. She makes the other person feel understood and empowered. Half way through the week, I start anticipating my sessions with her. I absolutely love it and I would recommend her as a life coach.

And I learn as much through our sessions!

Knowledgeable and patient

Fran did a great job helping my daughter improve her writing skills. She is very patient and knowledgeable. She is fun as well. Highly recommended. She also helped my daughter to learn basic writing mechanics and style which made her a much stronger and confident writer.
