"As a professional writer and editor, I offer a practical approach to language. And my tutoring demonstrates this.

I've been an author for National Geographic three times, a writer for a major true crime podcast series, and a book editor for fifteen years. I edit novels, nonfiction books, and occasional doctoral dissertations. I have basically memorized The Chicago Manual of Style for book editing.

I tutor online and in person in South Florida, where I live. My clients have ranged from high school students to postgraduate students and authors learning the craft.

Tutoring my own twin daughters helped them earn full academic scholarships to Nova Southeastern University, where they are freshmen.

In the past, I taught English in Moscow (in a classroom at the American Academy for Foreign Languages) and in Cincinnati (one-on-one lessons at Cincilingua).

I have a cheerful, supportive style that encourages students. I truly enjoy watching them improve their language skills.

I graduated with honors from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University, where I earned the Dean’s List Scholarship." less...
