"Language, literature, reading and writing are my world and wheelhouse. As an undergraduate in English and Creative Writing at Dartmouth, my honors thesis won the departmental award for the best of its year. In my PhD program at UCLA, I am most fulfilled when working with my undergrad students to push their writing and critical reading skills to new levels. Whether it's writing a college application essay, studying to improve standardized test scores, developing a piece of fiction or editing a course paper, I understand the challenges of English students and am well prepared to help you succeed.

Over the last five years I have worked with students at high school and undergraduate levels. In one-on-one tutoring sessions my first aim is to establish a personal connection and to understand your particular goals. From there, I will work collaboratively with you to help you achieve that growth. Trust, constructive feedback and the student's agency in their own learning process are core tenets of my tutoring approach. I look forward to reading and writing with you!" less...
