I'm happy to share my 20 years of professional experience as a writer and editor with you. I will teach you how to write clear, engaging prose, beginning with focused research and creating a structured outline that sets you up for success with your writing projects.
I have helped hundreds of students learn the basics of writing and editing, and worked with business professionals across a range of industries to hone their writing skills and develop their personal voice.
We begin with an assessment of your background and current skills, then discuss your needs and come up with a plan to achieve your goals. I have a proven track record of helping students and professionals become competent writers.
I will teach you how to avoid common writing errors such as overusing adjectives and participles, as well as relying on the passive voice. I will make sure you understand how "showing" is more effective than "telling" by providing you with numerous examples of effective prose, and help you expand your vocabulary so you always have the right word at your fingertips.
I also offer tutoring in effective reading techniques, English (grammar and composition), literature, and linguistics.
I specialize in helping non-native English speakers become effective writers, and have helped dozens of doctoral students write and copyedit their dissertations.
I'm friendly and easygoing, and take pride in the success of my students.
