About Shepherd
As a current high school English teacher and an MFA candidate in Creative Writing, I bring both professional classroom experience and advanced academic training to every lesson. My background gives me a deep understanding of curriculum expectations, effective teaching methods, and the skills students need to succeed in reading and writing at every level. I approach tutoring with the same professionalism I bring to my classroom: I am prepared, organized, responsive, and committed to each student’s growth. Students can expect clear goals, thoughtful feedback, and lessons tailored to their individual strengths and challenges. I take pride in creating a supportive learning environment where progress is measurable, communication is open, and students feel confident asking questions and tackling new skills. With years of teaching experience and ongoing graduate-level study in writing craft, I offer guidance that is both academically rigorous and creatively engaging. My goal is to help students become stronger, more independent readers and writers—equipped with tools they can rely on long after tutoring ends.

Are you looking to become a stronger, more confident reader or writer? I’m a current high school English teacher and an MFA candidate in Creative Writing, and I’m here to help students build real skill, clarity, and confidence in their English work.
With years of classroom experience, I understand where students struggle—and how to guide them past those challenges. My lessons are personalized, supportive, and built around clear steps that make reading and writing feel more approachable. Whether you want to improve essays, strengthen reading comprehension, prepare for school assignments, or develop your own voice as a writer, I can help you get there.
My approach combines the structure of academic English with the creativity of writing craft. Students learn how to think critically, organize ideas effectively, and express themselves with precision and confidence. I believe in meeting each student exactly where they are and helping them grow with patience, encouragement, and practical strategies they can use long after the lesson ends.
