About John
I am a Writer and Creative Executive with over ten years of experience in a variety of writing. I have worked in social media, written theme park attractions, and currently manage website content and evaluate and analyze creative material for a producer and New York Times-bestselling author. In addition, I am a screenwriter and author, and recently finished a novel commission. I have a Bachelor's and MFA in Screenwriting and view all good writing as good storytelling.

My goal as a tutor is to help inspire passion and develop confidence and competence in English and writing. Teaching junior high students and above, I meet students where they are, prioritize individual needs, and help them understand English and literature, as well as how to best translate their ideas into writing. A typical session will begin with defining the goals of the student's assignment. Then we get into the text. Whether it's Ernest Hemingway or a draft of a student's own essay, I love diving into the text, identifying the areas where the student needs the most help. For literature, I work with the student to understand the themes and how to best express their interpretations. For essays and creative writing, I undertake a thorough note-taking process, offering suggestions and direction on everything from word choice to the conception of the piece as a whole. Working with words and stories is my passion, and I greatly look forward to sharing that with students and helping them reach their educational goals.

I cannot recommend John highly enough. John is an excellent, well-rounded writer and mentor, who always provides clear and keen insights into how one can improve their craft, both in respect to form and content. During our joint MFA writing program, I often found that John's wisdom, advice, and professionalism exceeded that of our professors. He would come to each and every class eager to engage in discussion, and would give thoughtful notes and tips to all of our peers -- and he would always do so with the utmost respect for his peers and their work. To this day, John is still the first person I go to when I need help and/or notes with my own writing, and I'm always thrilled to hear his thoughts.
I highly recommend John! He is very patient, encouraging, and supportive. John has been helping me edit academic papers for many years, and he always uses a collaborative approach to ensure that my ideas remain intact while helping me strengthen the structure and wording.
