"With two decades of teaching experience, I have worked with students in grades 6-11. I led the AP English Language program, attending multiple AP training sessions to refine my expertise. My passion for education is matched by my commitment to helping students grow into confident, skilled communicators. Now a Mensa member, I love bringing curiosity, critical thinking, and a bit of fun into my tutoring sessions.

Writing can often be a difficult skill to hone. Many times we are learning from an English teacher who has chosen their field because they LOVE WRITING, and they love writing because they are good at it. What about the rest of us?

I have had the unique experience of being both. In college, I was a lover of literature, but found out that I wasn't as great of a writer as I thought. I was fortunate to have my UCI English instructor sit with me for hours, going line by line, explaining the basics, the advanced techniques, and the nuances one can use TO THINK while writing. I was taught how to use writing to convey my thoughts, not to use my thoughts to make me seem like a good writer.

I focus on the ‘thinking’ first. Becoming a more methodical thinker can make one a more poignant writer.

One can be a methodical thinker at any age and any level. Being smart is not a prerequisite for writing, but writing CAN MAKE YOU SMARTER. I can show you how.

A good writer lies dormant in all of us. We all have something interesting to say. You already have within you the means, the content, the vehicle with which to write. My Roadmap to Writing can show you that you also have the ability to drive your writing and thinking to new places and new heights." less...
