    Become a Confident and Skillful Writer

    Write for fun. Write for impact. Write well. I teach students how to plan, organize, and communicate clearly and concisely in writing. Private lessons: I am available 1:1 to help with essays, personal statements, business writing, theses/dissertations, and creative writing. Group workshops available: I also host creative writing workshops (with fun and original prompts) to loosen up, clear anxiety or blocks, and practice skills while cracking yourself up. Find me in the Live Studio.

    Get better grades. Improve your test scores. Excel in your career. With 20+ years of tutoring experience, I'm here to help you unlock new opportunities through learning and building skills. I've honed my teaching skills in 1:1 tutoring, test prep boot camps, university lecture halls, and professional seminars. Most of my students are from 8th grade to grad school, but I teach all ages. Whatever your needs, I'll tailor my approach to support your success. Together, we'll create a supportive environment. I'll diagnose confusion, provide clear explanations, and offer practical examples. You'll gain effective strategies and organization hacks to boost efficiency. Let's embrace challenges and make learning enjoyable! Many of my past students and their families remain connected due to the positive relationships we built. I'm not just a tutor—I'm a lifelong learner. I hold a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. with an exceptional GPA. My dedication to knowledge drives me forward. Did you know PhD stands for "Doctor of Philosophy" and "philosophia" means a love of learning/wisdom? Do I sound like the perfect tutor to support your academic and career goals? Reach out to schedule your first lesson, you I look forward to speaking with you soon!
