About

I don't use a cookie-cutter approach. I tailor my lessons to fit the needs of each client.

Additionally, I hold advanced degrees in English, and I've successfully tutored hundreds of students.

I love that writing is a doorway for expression. It's a pleasure to see students grow as writers and to have a part in that journey.

Marcia tutored me on the English portion of the SAT and taught me strategies I would not have figured out on my own. Highly recommend!

Krista E.

My son, whos not particularly enthusiastic about writing, attended several week-long writing workshops for boys that Marcia offered. The camps were fun, hands-on, and collaborative. Marcia knows how to motivate and excite a boy who never wanted to write more than a sentence at a time. He came home excited about his day and produced some thoughtful and creative writing. He, to this day uses writing prompts and tools that he learned from Marcia during those sessions.

I worked with Marcia on lots of writing projects. We practiced strategies like radical juxtaposition, reverse thinking, and original imagery. I added to my portfolio and experimented with everything from dialogue scenes to scramble poetry. I liked how Marcia and I worked to use my that I’d already found and use it to the best of my ability.

It depends on the service. I typically charge between $40-$60 per hour.

While in college, I got a job at the Writing Resources Center at The College of William & Mary. I spent every free hour there with a wonderful cohort of other writers as we learned the best ways to strengthen writing and communication skills, both our own and those of the clients we served. I loved my job at the Writing Center, and it inspired me to pursue teaching as a career.
