Columbia Grad and MFA student: award winning essays, writing help!

Sadie H.

Hi all, I’m Sadie! I recently graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and History. At Columbia, I also studied French for four years, including French Literature and Poetry. I’m now pursuing my Masters of Fine Arts in Fiction at Columbia with the hope of publishing my first novel. I’ll also be teaching in the first year writing program for Columbia undergraduates!

I have a ton of experience in tutoring, be it writing, French, ACT, reading comprehension, college essay, and otherwise. However, my focus right now is in college essay tutoring, where I help students develop a narrative voice for their college essays through brainstorming sessions, writing exercises, and peer editing. I’ve taught all ages but for college essay students, I focus on rising seniors. For any other subject area, I’m open to all ages (in fact, I started a mentoring program in high school for elementary aged kiddos!). For younger and non-essay students, I focus on the student and family’s goals and cater my teaching approach to each individual.

At Columbia, I won Best Fiction Writer from the Undergraduate Literary Magazine for my short story “Dust Bowl Girl” and have published widely, both nonfiction and prose. On the ACT I scored perfect 36s for both reading and English and could assist any students looking to improve in these areas. I’m available primarily online but also in-person in the NYC metro area. Please contact me if you have any questions! My goal is always to support students and families through different learning adventures and college admissions journeys!
