"As one of Wyzant's highest-performing writing tutors, I successfully guide students toward writing that is vivid, concise, and polished by showing them science-backed ways to write clearly for a reader.

My students learn to analyze their strengths and weaknesses and move from idea generation to the final draft in a productive, strategic and rewarding process. And by clarifying objectives, editing, and polishing, the student learns how to ensure their ideas are unique and their writing is interesting and valuable for the reader.

With an MA in Teaching Writing and a BA in English, I inform each lesson with scholarship based on multi-faceted educational pedagogy. Preparing individualized lessons with targeted documents and writing detailed reports results in a rich resource of custom writing instruction and information. My holistic approach to enhance writing mastery results in lessons that boost reading, logic, and writing skills that bridge ideas and writing. By incorporating off-line proofreading to provide actionable feedback, my students feel much less stressed during the writing process.

I’m a member of the National Association of College Admission Counselors, and my admission positions at 2 selective institutions (as well as writing countless college recommendations as a high school English teacher) means I've been responding professionally to college admission essays for over 25 years. As an essay coach, I devote sessions to choosing the best topic, style, and structure, and my targeted feedback maintains your unique personality and voice. I will help you find interesting connections that result in a meaningful essay that exceeds the reader's expectations and contributes to a compelling and successful college application.

I believe everyone can become a better writer, and I love helping students of all writing abilities strengthen their writing along with their confidence as a writer by fully using skill, logic, and creativity to express their unique ideas, using their unique voice." less...
