What makes me the right choice for your child's writing tutor? Why hire a tutor in the first place?
Writing is what I do full time.
I host a storytelling podcast, and I teach adults and college bound teens how to write an amazing and vulnerable personal essay. When I'm not working with students, I craft my own personal essays for publication (see examples in My Publications tab). I have been published multiple times in The Washington Post as well as HuffPost, NextTribe, ScaryMommy, Mutha Magazine.
I have a proven record of getting students into their first choice schools. (See the examples of successful essays in the Common App Essay section.)
Best of all... I enjoy teenagers. I have three of my own and I get them. If you're not sure I'm the best fit for your child, I'd like to meet with him/her to see if we click.

WHY HIRE A TUTOR?
Personal essay is not something taught (well) in school. So, it's daunting for your teenager. To give them the best chance at getting into a great college, they need an editor. WHO DOESN'T? Let me be their sounding board, the one who brainstorms with them, edits their work, and keeps them on track. I'll coordinate due dates and work with them on the additional supplemental essays required. I want to support your child through this process.
