"I majored in English and minored in Education at Duke University, and fell in love with helping students one-on-one to achieve their goals. I enjoy getting to know my students and working with them long-term to figure out what they want to improve, figuring out a plan to get to that point, and then reaching the goal together. I started informally tutoring by helping classmates beginning in elementary school, and then moved on to formal tutoring in college.

Personally I enjoy reading and writing, and I always have a few books going. There's always something going on in Richmond, and I love discovering new parts of the city or a new-to-me-festival.

I have over a decade's experience in tutoring middle and high school students in English and writing, beginning as an Education minor in college. I love helping AP Language and AP Literature students with understanding how to write rhetorical analysis essays and other assignments. I'm comfortable helping high school students with all parts of English class, including writing papers, learning grammar, discussing literature, and mastering new vocabulary words. I love to work with high school students to improve their skills analyzing literature and writing papers. I specialize in academic/school-related writing, not creative writing.

I'm available for tutoring on an ongoing basis or as-needed basis.

I'd love to hear from you about your challenges, and work with you to make a plan to conquer them. Contact me to learn more about my background, have me answer any questions you have, and to schedule your first lesson today.

I welcome students of all backgrounds and identities. LGBT+ friendly." less...
