About
Hi! I recently completed my masters degree in Literature at Yale University and I have 4 years of experience teaching writing to middle school and high school students. I've also taught college writing courses for 2 years. I'm a professional writer myself and currently work for a literary agency reading manuscripts. I would be thrilled to work with you in any of the following ways:
Essay writing (persuasive, literary analysis, research etc)
English Literature
Reading
College-essay writing
Preparing for tests
I charge $25 an hour and am happy to host tutoring sessions at my house, at the library and if you live close by I'm happy to come to you!
I love working with students of all ages to help them feel confident as students, readers, writers, and communicators.

What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students from age 11 to 25! I have lots of experience working with students who struggle in school whether because of learning differences or anxiety and depression. I believe in meeting a student where they're at and working to succeed from there!
