I have been teaching high school English for 25 years, first at St. Sebastian's School and now at Watertown High School. In that time, I have helped thousands of students succeed in topics ranging from introduction paragraphs to AP Composition essays, and from evidence based reading to vivid college essays. I have tutored one-on-one, facilitated small group learning, and run large classes, including summer school and online classes. I have also designed entire courses for literature classics such as Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Jane Eyre.

Whether you are looking to improve your child's SAT scores or to give them the support they need to write an impeccable college essay, I will work with you and your child to create achievable goals and to give your student the knowledge and the confidence to achieve them. I can provide the spark to start an essay or study program, help your child to develop learning strategies and follow a project through to completion. I am available in person and online.

In 25 years of teaching, I have taught all aspects of analytical, creative, and narrative writing, including SATs, AP Language and Composition, ACT, college essays and freshman composition.

I have written dozens of college recommendations, taught expert college essay writing for years, and seen hundreds of students go through the college application process.

I would be happy to speak with you to see if your needs and my areas of expertise match. If you don't reach me, I will return your call or email within 24 hours.
