Tutoring Reimagined

What I offer:

• I specialize in designing individualized writing courses for students in grades 4-12.

• Why a course rather than "just tutoring"? 

  • An individualized course provides each student with transferable skills that they can apply to ALL future academic and professional work 

  • In other words, as the saying goes: "Give a person a fish, and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime."

• In an individualized course, sessions may include both:

  • Targeted skill instruction (via custom-designed "extracurricular" assignments

  • Assignment-based tutoring (school assignments, summer work, and/or admissions essays)

• Courses typically fall into one or more of these categories:

  • Academic writing: students work to deepen their analytical thinking and communicate thoughtful ideas in organized, polished school assignments 

  • Writing enrichment: students further their passion for writing, expand their analytical and creative writing skills, and publish their written work

  • Admissions essays (as part of a broader semester-long course): students craft essays for independent school, college, and extracurricular applications
