My mother was a college English professor. Is it no wonder then that I have spent my life working with words and writers? The English language is full of nuances and we are judged on how we communicate and express ourselves in writing. As a magazine editor for ten years, I worked to empower our writers to communicate well. As a journalist, I learned to write clearly and concisely. As a business writer, I learned to write for the audience and intended results. As a professor, I have helped students develop and present polished essays, reports, and papers. I will gladly work with you to polish your writing and communication.
With degrees in journalism, written English, and creative writing, I can help you polish your writing and communications. I can help with academic writing and college essays, research papers, theses, and dissertations. I can help polish resumes, cover letters, and applications. I can help writers with creative works — poetry, fiction, and nonfiction — books, stories, memoirs, and articles.
I have worked in classrooms in person and online, with students in a group and one-on-one. I am happy to help students upgrade their English and writing skills. I provide lessons relating to writing at all levels, across all genres. I even offer special interest classes and lessons relating to ancient alphabets. I can teach study skills and success habits, career development. I can empower people by teaching various methods of journaling.
I have a BA in Written English, minor in journalism, and MFA in Creative Writing. I am certified in homeschooling methods, journaling, digital citizenship, student engagement, online classroom management, and diverse learning environments. For privacy, security, and the best online classroom tools and environment, I teach online via the Wyzant tutoring platform. Students sign up for a free account, and then pay for and receive tutoring services in the secure classroom environment.
Every student has writing strengths and weaknesses. I help build on strengths and overcome weaknesses using writing tools, core concepts, kindness, and compassion. I believe sound writing skills improve grades in all subjects, and increase potential for success far into the future. I empower writers so they can communicate well resulting in improved connection and understanding.
