"Hello! My name is Hannah and I'm a professional writer looking to help students with their writing and college applications. I have a master's from MIT and a bachelor's from the University of Chicago. By day, I am a freelance journalist who writes about Earth, planetary science, and astronomy for outlets like Science, Sky & Telescope, Smithsonian, WIRED, Ars Technica, and more. I have also written an e-book for NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. I am now based in Washington, D.C. and am originally from the Philadelphia area.

I have been a tutor on-and-off for more than 6 years, specializing in writing, grammar, standardized tests, and college applications. I have worked with students ages 5 to mid-30s and am especially passionate about helping people write essays that are clear, compelling, and true to themselves. My experience as a one-on-one and volunteer tutor includes Varsity Tutors, Phoenix Tutoring (University of Chicago), National Honor Society, and countless friends and family members.

Staring at a black page can be scary - I face it all the time! As a writing tutor, I will help you or your child go from the brainstorming stage to an edited, proofread, ready-to-submit assignment or college application. I approach essay tutoring with a nonjudgmental, collaborative stance and believe that every student has the ability to write an engaging and artful story. I prefer online meetings and am a fast responder. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions and I look forward to working together!" less...
