The English language is full of nuances, and we are judged on how we communicate and express ourselves in writing. I have helped students develop and present polished essays, reports, and papers. Please feel free to contact me if you (or your child) need help polishing and improving writing skills. I can work with students online or in person in Calhoun and Gilmer counties, and will work with small groups.
With degrees in journalism, written English, and creative writing, I can empower students. I provide a professional but conversational and compassionate learning environment that not only meets and overcomes challenges but also celebrates accomplishments. 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.
I have worked in classrooms in person and online, with students in a group and one-on-one. I provide lessons relating to writing at all levels, across all genres. I have a BA in Written English, a minor in journalism, and an MFA in Creative Writing. I am certified in homeschooling methods, journaling, digital citizenship, student engagement, online classroom management, and diverse learning environments. I can help with academic writing and college essays, research papers, theses, and dissertations. I can also help help writers with creative works — poetry, fiction, and nonfiction — books, stories, memoirs, and articles.
For privacy, security, and the best online classroom tools and environment, I teach online via the Wyzant and Preply tutoring platforms. Students sign up for a free account and then pay for and receive tutoring services in a secure classroom environment.
