Hi there! I know sometimes writing assignments can be intimidating, if not downright overwhelming. Even professional writers get stuck at various murky points along the way and benefit immensely from thoughtful feedback. As a former public librarian, and now a private tutor and the publisher of the online arts and literary magazine, Combustus, I have developed a keen ear for language that sings. Strong writing can be a powerful means to communicate your ideas in a way that moves your reader and creates a lasting impact. No matter what the subject, writing need never be dull. Remember, if you're enjoying writing it, you can be sure your reader will have fun reading it.
I suspect one of the major reasons I was awarded the honor of Pi Beta Kappa as a University of California psychology student was that I love what happens when we put ideas to paper. What begins with a germ of an idea or questions in need of answers can quickly move into a rich exploration of what matters most to us ~ to not only the writer, but hopefully also to the reader. I can help you make that happen.
I also love helping students prepare for tests. Who says studying has to be dull? Making the process fun and learning how to engage more deeply with your subject matter, regardless of the topic, means you will be far more likely to not only put in the time needed to learn the information, but also retain that information longer.
So shoot me an email and tell me what you're working on, and together we can develop a plan that sets you up for success.
Since I work in the 4J school district, the best times to meet for me are late afternoons, evenings and weekends. Tell me what hours and days are best for you and we'll make it happen!
