Writing can be fun, but also demanding! And the challenges just get tougher as students make their way through school.
As a professional writer and educator, my mission is to share my love for writing while also equipping students with the essential skills they need to become strong writers.
My tutoring method includes direct instruction as well as time for actual writing. I provide clear guidelines to help students feel more in control of the complex process of writing. I also provide plenty of encouragement, so students feel confident about sharing their ideas.
In terms of basic writing skills, students learn how to:
- Overcome procrastination
- Get the creative process flowing
- Generate ideas and organize information logically
- Write clearly using expressive vocabulary
- Apply basic sentence punctuation
To handle the challenges of school assignments, students also learn how to:
- Respond effectively to prompts for academic assignments
- Plan writing projects to meet deadlines
- Use MLA style for research papers
- Create polished final drafts using an editing checklist
