Click here for a detailed description of general Writing Tutoring offerings.
My approach is to support students developing confidence as writers.
- For those working on assignments, I assist with planning for writing, writing, and editing and proofreading.
- For creative writers, we discuss craft and generate new ideas, and I provide coaching on revision. I tutor students in all genres, including fiction, investigative journalism, essays & creative non-fiction, and poetry.
- For reluctant writers, I engage students in fun word-related “Writing Brain” activities to keep writing muscles active and help kids see themselves as writers.
- For all students, I infuse concepts related to grammar, punctuation, sentence structure as well as structure, tone and flow into all of my tutoring.
