Award-Winning Creative Writing Tutors
serving Las Vegas, NV

Alexis studied Theatre alongside International Relations at Tulane, which means she thinks about creative writing through character, staging, and voice — not just plot. Whether a student is drafting a short story, experimenting with poetry, or working on a personal narrative, she digs into the craft elements that make a piece land: dialogue rhythm, sensory detail, and point-of-view consistency.

I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

Anthony's background in Literary Arts means he's written across genres — poetry, personal essay, short fiction — and understands how each form demands different instincts on the page. He teaches students to experiment with voice, structure, and imagery while developing a revision process that actually sharpens their work instead of flattening it.

Good creative writing isn't just inspiration — it's craft decisions about point of view, pacing, dialogue, and revision. Peter trained as a journalist before earning his master's in English Education, so he teaches students to treat their drafts as material to shape rather than precious first attempts. That combination of storytelling instinct and editorial discipline shows up in the fiction, poetry, and personal essays his students produce.

Working across audio documentary, performance, and media literacy gave Sarah a storyteller's instinct for how different forms shape the same raw material — a skill she brings into creative writing when students need to figure out whether an idea wants to be a poem, a personal essay, or a short story. Her anthropology training adds an unusual depth to character and setting work, pushing writers to observe the specific cultural details and human behaviors that make fictional worlds feel inhabited rather than invented. Rated 5.0 by students.

Getting words on the page is one challenge; shaping them into something compelling is another entirely. Robert tackles both sides of creative writing, from generating raw material through freewriting and prompts to revising for voice, imagery, and structural coherence across poetry, personal essays, and short fiction.

Rachel's background spans research, editing, and persuasive writing — which means when she sits down with a creative writing draft, she spots structural problems fast and knows how to talk a student through fixing them without flattening their voice. Her own reading life is wide-ranging, and she draws on that to match students with mentor texts that illuminate whatever craft element they're wrestling with, whether it's building tension in a short story or finding the right register for a personal essay. Rated 5.0 by students.

Good creative writing isn't just inspiration — it's craft decisions about voice, pacing, point of view, and when to break the rules you've learned. Mollie has worked as both a content writer and a game designer, two fields where storytelling meets structure and every word has to earn its place. She digs into drafts with students to sharpen dialogue, tighten scenes, and find the story underneath the first attempt.

Songwriting, fiction, college essays, music composition — Jordan's creative output spans an unusual range, which means he knows firsthand how the same core moves (finding a voice, building tension, cutting what doesn't serve the piece) play out differently across forms. His American Studies background adds a storyteller's instinct for weaving cultural context into personal narrative, and he's especially sharp at helping writers figure out what their draft is actually about underneath the first version they put down.

Getting words on the page is often the hardest part of creative writing, and Sarah tackles that blank-page paralysis with structured brainstorming techniques and revision exercises that build momentum. As an English major at Dartmouth, she digs into craft elements like voice, dialogue, and narrative pacing — giving students concrete tools instead of vague advice to "just be creative."

A background in sacred music, fiction writing, and literature means Sarah approaches creative writing the way a composer approaches a score — every element of rhythm, tone, and structure serves the whole piece. She's particularly sharp at showing students how to revise for voice and musicality in their prose, catching the flat sentence or the clunky transition that breaks a reader's spell. Rated 4.8 by students.

A decade of teaching artistry in theater has given Meg an instinct for storytelling — character voice, tension, pacing — that translates directly into creative writing instruction. She tackles everything from flash fiction drafts to personal essays, pushing students to revise with intention rather than just correct surface errors. Her Master's in Reading/Writing/Literacy grounds that creative instinct in solid pedagogy.

A creative writing minor from Penn means Sarah has spent serious time in workshops getting and giving feedback on poetry, personal essays, and experimental prose. She walks students through the full arc of a piece — finding a voice, choosing concrete details over vague abstractions, and learning to revise ruthlessly.

Emma's own poetry and nature literature lessons — designed for students from preschool through twelfth grade at Chautauqua Institution — taught her how to adapt creative writing instruction to wildly different skill levels without dumbing down the craft. Her Human Development studies at Cornell inform how she approaches the writing process itself, understanding what kinds of prompts and revision strategies actually click at different ages.
