I have been empowering students to write and analyze effectively for twenty years. Now, I would love to help you. I listen carefully to students and let them (and their parents) tell me what they need. My PhDs are in history and American studies. I have published several pieces, including a 2017 book with Cambridge University Press.

Your child's admission into the college of their choice might be a concern for you. If your young learner lacks the skills necessary to master essay composition, I can ease their worries—and yours—and help them succeed.

 

​I can patiently walk alongside your high-schooler or middle-schooler through the writing process. If your child worries about slipping behind their classmates, I can help them gain their footing. If they write relatively well but want to rise to the next level, I can help pilot them to the heights of their potential.

 

Please let me know if I can help you.

Young learners deserve to move beyond “I can’t.” Tutoring helps them take that step. A tutor needs to create a new learning context, apart from classroom, workplace, friends, and family, in which a student can move toward confidence and creativity.

 

To accomplish this, a tutor must listen with their heart as much as their ears, in order to understand their students (and their students' parents) at the deepest level. Every tutoring relationship requires the tutor to tap into their empathy for that student. It is crucial that they ascertain and then emphasize each student’s particular strengths as a learner. An ideal tutor relies not only on careful preparation but also on intuition when determining which way “to turn” whenever the unexpected arises. The ultimate goal in tutoring should be to awaken the spirit of inquiry and self-expression inside every client.
