Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Madison, WI

...as an undergraduate writing tutor through the university's writing center. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I'm most passionate about high school and college level English and STEM skills. I believe that anyone can improve their writing through clear, logical thinking and that STEM classes, though intimidating, can be tackled by breaking down topics into smaller portions and building up from there. Outside of school, I write short stories, sketch, and hike.

...and am currently pursuing a Master's in curriculum and instruction at UW. I love helping students become better writers and seeing the beauty in old literature.

...and lots of stress! When I'm not nerding-out on tech and social media trends, I like to hang with my dog, play video games, binge-watch Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon ("The Office," "30 Rock," and "Doctor Who" are some favorites), swim, read, write, find spicy vegetarian recipes, and listen to audio fiction podcasts. I am a writer at heart. I am academically restless. I am magnetically drawn to learning. I want to make a difference in...

...individual questions or concerns with the kind of depth and thoroughness that would not be viable in a time-restricted, twenty-five person class. Being there to celebrate a student's breakthroughs and seeing firsthand how far a student could come in a single semester showed me just how much difference these one-on-one sessions can make. I want to be the one to make it happen! I specialize in literature and writing about literature - how to engage...
