Hollis, NY Writing Tutors

I have over five years of experience teaching writing to all levels and special needs (children-adults). Students will have fun writing poems, short stories, and essays. My teaching goal is to increase students self esteem and confidence.

Ever since I was a child, I absolutely loved to write. During my sessions as creative writing tutor, I hope to foster that same love for writing. My students are challenged to stay true to their own voice while simultaneously considering craft, style, syntax, structure, and the myriad elements of engaging, successful writing. My sessions can be catered to a specific goal (standardized testing), or can be an open-ended experience invaluable to academic success.

I can help you improve your writing skills, whether you are a student or a professional. I work with college and university students, graduate students, professional students (such as law and MBA students), and working professionals.

As Professor of Communication & Theater, I have exceptional experiences performing, producing, directing, and writing stage plays. My mission is to inspire and develop your unique gift. Fun, interactive, and applicable teaching techniques that will motivate the best you!

Book your dream of becoming a published author and receive one-on-one consultation from story ideas to the publication process. The session will also address questions you have on turning your manuscript into a publication.

During my lessons, I'll help you find your own voice. You will learn writing techniques and explore some literary heroes (George Orwell, Shakespeare, etc.) which will, in turn, help you figure out your strengths and perfect them as well as learn what your weaknesses are and how to improve. We will work to improve your technical writing skills as well as help find your own voice.

I'll bring in books based on your interests AND needs.We'll work hard but have fun through interactive and creative exercises. Most importantly, we'll work on accomplishing your individual goals!

I've been writing since I was old enough to do so and I would love to share my passion of writing with you. From screenwriting to fiction to essays to writing sketches, I've tackled it all. And I'd love to help you develop your story as you work hard to become the writer you've always wanted to be!

Having to sit down and write a paper (whether it be your college thesis or a five paragraph essay for an elementary level English course) can be an intimidating and stressful if not overwhelming experience.

That's where I come in...To help you with both the assignment you are currently working on as well your writing process in general. Working on strengthening how you write will make writing easier and easier each time you do it, until you don't need my help at all.

Many people are not aware of the universal strategies and tactics that can be used in order to improve their writing at every stage in the process. Whether it be brainstorming, outlining, drafting, writing, editing, etc. Taking at look at and examining your writing process together will allow us to customize the tutoring session for your needs specifically.

Outside of helping to write papers I can assist with help in English grammar, Literature, Creative Writing, and many other related fields.

Writing is an art and science of self-expression. It gives the writer a unique opportunity to express him/her self with power and eloquence that is difficult to use with other methods of communication.

Students will have the opportunity to improve their grades while learning about different writing styles, and developing and perfecting their own.

I'm a high school English teacher with a passion for teaching writing. I've worked with elementary, middle, and high school students and adults in an effort to improve their writing skills. My teaching has focused on a wide range of writing genres and styles.

My goal is to facilitate my students' writing growth through meaningful feedback, genuine engagement in the writing process (prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, etc.), and targeted individualized instruction. As an educator I have extensive experience utilizing various skills and strategies to meet the distinct needs of each student. In my practice I am innovative, reflective, and flexible in order to cultivate authentic learning and enable each student to advance as a writer.

I'm excited by the prospect of working one-on-one with you to enhance your writing. I enjoy working with different forms of writing, including creative (poetry, prose, script/play, etc.), academic (class assignments, college essays, test prep), ...
