I specialize in creative writing coaching, essay coaching, proofreading, literary analysis, and rhetoric for middle school, high school, and college-level students.
My teaching method is highly individualized: I start by identifying each student’s strengths and challenges, then build lessons that balance skill-building, practice, and confidence growth.
A typical lesson begins with a short discussion of goals, followed by guided practice using the student’s own work or carefully selected texts. I emphasize clear structure, strong voice, and critical thinking, helping students not just polish assignments but also gain lifelong writing tools.
What sets me apart is my dual background as a published author and former managing editor, giving me both creative and professional insights into the writing process.
My students benefit from a mentor who knows how writing works both in the classroom and in the real world.
Lessons are designed for students preparing essays and literary analysis at the middle school, high school, and college level, as well as those who want to develop creative writing or sharpen their storytelling skills.
