Award-Winning Creative Writing Tutors in Columbus, OH

I first became familiar with the other side of the teacher/student relationship while tutoring a Japanese student taking an English as a Second Language class. While working with her I discovered the trust the student has with the teacher, and how carefully this trust must be preserved. I also learned to keep myself out of the student's work, in other words the student's work was entirely work of the student.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from The Ohio State University and a BA in English Literature from Vassar College. I am passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, as well as their standardized testing techniques.

As an English, Theatre, Film, and Public Speaking teacher with over 25 years experience in college and secondary school classrooms, I look forward to helping you succeed academically! I was a Double Major in Theatre and Film at Yale, have taught in the Drama Department at Stanford, and -- for the last 20 years -- have been teaching Grades 8-12 at Bentley and Castilleja Schools in the Bay Area.
