I’ve been teaching and tutoring for nearly twenty years, challenging students to write with insight, clarity and style.
I hold a BA in English and an MFA in Creative Writing, and I’ve taught college-level literature and composition, as well as both fiction and poetry writing workshops. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with students in grades six through twelve through the internationally-acclaimed Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth's Online Writing Program. I’ve spent many years with gifted and twice-exceptional students, and am more than happy to work with nontraditional and adult learners as well.
I welcome all skill levels, from students seeking to build a stronger foundation in English grammar to those sharpening their essay-writing skills for high school or college. I specialize in targeting the skills needed for literary analysis, as well as for persuasive, research and personal essays, such as those required for competitive school admissions. I've deeply enjoyed working with students developing independent projects in fiction or poetry, and emphasize contemporary narrative techniques and close attention to language. My aim is to increase student confidence and to model writing as a means of exercising curiosity, critical thinking, self-reflection and vivid storytelling.
I work from home and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Sessions will be conducted online, and I’m available to meet with students once, twice or three times a week, on a short or long-term basis, depending on their goals. I look forward to hearing from you.
