Services
I offer these services for students of all ages, from elementary school through college. I am currently based in Massachusetts, but I have experience with California and Bay Area school systems. Please note that tutoring is entirely virtual.
I’m not currently taking on new clients for writing enrichment, homework help, and neurodiversity support. My schedule will open again in the fall.

Personalized one-on-one sessions to supplement students’ schoolwork.
I strive to make the curriculum meaningful, engaging, and relevant to students’ interests. I’ve covered a wide range of genres and topics with past students, including:
Process skills: brainstorming, drafting, revising, and polishing
Product skills: crafting strong thesis statements, organizing paragraphs, composing strong sentences, controlling diction, and more
Grammar: I’ll spare you the why-don’t-schools-teach-grammar anymore spiel, but suffice it to say that this is a top priority!
Writing habits: planning and organization, time management, beating procrastination, and other executive functioning skills
Academic writing: informational essays, literary/rhetorical analysis, argumentative papers, and research assignments
Non-academic writing: personal essays, short stories, and poetry
-
Support for reading and writing assignments in every subject.
In addition to tackling individual assignments, I help students overcome:

Comprehensive support through every step of the essay-writing process, from first thoughts to final drafts.
College essays are a chance for you to express yourself: your experiences, your values, your interests, and your goals. I’ll help you uncover and develop that material, then strategically fit it into the given prompts. The ultimate goal is to create essays that reflect your authentic voice, doing so with insight, clarity, and style.
Together, we will:
Brainstorm extensively to gather material for outstanding essays
Break down essay prompts so you understand what each one is asking
Create a comprehensive strategy to complete essays efficiently and submit early
Draw on tried-and-tested strategies to overcome writer's block
Strengthen your writing skill set, giving you strategies you can apply across contexts
Incorporate literary techniques for clarity, conciseness, and style
Get any essay under any word count at lightning speed (my nerdy party trick)
Complete short answer questions, activity lists, and other non-essay writing tasks
