"I love writing and tutoring! I am a part-time tutor, an attorney, a non-profit professional, and a parent--and I write all the time. Teaching and helping people to learn are among my passions. I have had a lifelong commitment to education and to language especially.

My experiences in tutoring include a particular emphasis on mentoring the general college-level writing and the drafting of legal memoranda and briefs. My students have been both native English speakers and speakers of English as a second language. My approach is unique, bringing helpful analytical tools from other disciplines and many years of writing experience.

I have very strong English language skills, with a BA and graduate studies in English. I am an accomplished writer and a voracious reader. I can write, ghostwrite, proofread, or edit any text.

My philosophy regarding tutoring is to always be supportive and patient. Lessons should truly be a learning process for the student. The progress and pacing of the sessions are directly linked to the student's ability to grasp the material. With children, I also involve the parents as much as possible to ensure that the skills and learning are reinforced.

The measure of my success is the student's increasing comfort level with whatever he or she finds most challenging as well as a paper of which they can be proud. Ideally, he or she will become more interested in and intellectually curious about his/her coursework as well. Achievement naturally flows from increased confidence!

Let's work together to achieve the results you want and to reach the goals you have set for yourself." less...
