Literature with Allison S.

In the classroom, I have inspired literally hundreds of students to write - and to write well! - using the tools of my own curriculum, my love of writing, and my (quirky) sense of humor. I am not a teacher who happens to like writing; I am a writer who became a teacher. And that has made all the difference. As a former English teacher, I've also been credited with helping my students love to read. I use a unique and engaging way of analyzing literature to facilitate understanding. I take enormous pride in the success stories of my alums, and their esteem for me and my program. My students go on to become acclaimed writers and deep thinkers in college (sending me updates on their professors' impressed reactions to their papers). And three of my students completed 30,000-word novels under my guidance (*for NaNoWriMo). Are you looking for support that will help you to develop and grow as a writer, while also inspiring self-confidence in your craft? Are you seeking tools for literary analysis and reading comprehension? Or do you need support writing your first novel, screenplay, or short story? My alums call me "that once in a lifetime teacher," and I am confident that I can help you! Until this past June, I was an English teacher in a prestigious private school on the westside of Los Angeles. I left teaching to pursue a writing career, but am pleased I can use my skills and experience to reach out and help others "remotely." In addition to being a teacher, I also recently completed the world famous Writing Lab at The Groundlings. I write and perform comedy here in L.A....which means my lessons are entertaining and engaging!
