Approved Subjects

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I'm here to nurture your artistic spirit and support your creative writing. With years of expertise in teaching and writing fiction and poetry, I bring a playful approach to helping students across the writing process -- from reading as a writer, understanding technique and form, to drafting and editing work for reading or publication. I've edited and read/judged submissions for college, high school, and professional publications like the Bellevue Literary Review.
English

English

I taught HS English, IB English, and Creative writing for a decade, led literary magazines, led elementary tutors. I can help you develop your own insight into literature and develop a toolbox for literary analysis. It helps to have a writer teach English because I know language from the inside out: plot, characters, narrative technique, audience, structure, and effects. Let's read as writers together to understand what's at play in your assignments.
Fiction Writing

Fiction Writing

From creating a science fiction story for a character who is 3 inches tall to exploring what the future might be like, activating your imagination is key to starting a great story. I've taught teachers of writing how to teach it, summer sessions for kids at George Mason University, and online fiction writing for adults at The Writers Studio. Let me help you get ideas from your brain to the page.
Literature

Literature

Experienced student and teacher of American literature, British literature, and world literature in translation using the International Baccalaureate curriculum and essays. I wrote my MA on Hemingway and Fitzgerald and their use of capitalism/money as an extended metaphor for human value/devalue in their novels written during the American Depression. I don't tell you the answers, I help you develop your insights and take on what you are reading to deepen your reading and analysis skills. This approach will strengthen your writing about literature as well as your reading of it.
