Whether you are seeking college essay support, tutoring, or standardized test prep, I am ready--and excited--to support your academic reading and writing goals. I have devoted the last 17 1/2 years to mentoring and teaching English literature and composition to high school students. Some of my favorite work was done in small group interactions where I could get to know students and then personaliz
e their learning to hone their skills while also nurturing their confidence as they discovered their unique writing voice and analytical skills. It is a privilege to share the moment of dawning awareness when a student discovers they are capable of the skills they never before believed they could master. I support students as they navigate the college application process, especially while composing the personal statement and supplemental essays. Colleges and universities accepting students I have worked with include Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, Middlebury College, Williams College, Bard College, Brigham Young University, Rutgers University, Villanova University, Fordham University, Rhode Island Institute of Design, University of Vermont, and more. As an AP Reader and experienced secondary educator, my expertise has allowed me to support students preparing for the AP English Language and Composition exam. Since 2018, 92% of my students have earned a 3 or higher, while 67% earned a 4 or 5.
