As a writer with a B.A. in English with a concentration in
creative writing, and experience as a tutor at a local
junior college, I found that many students benefit from
instruction that brings creativity and knowledge together to
solve grammar and linguistic problems.

I specialize in editing work of non-native English speakers
as well as editing fiction, creative non-fiction, and
academic papers with experience as a Fiction editor and
Managing editor of an academic literary journal.

Email me for rates.

I look forward to reading your work!

I offer private tutoring services to any high school or
beginning college student who may need help with his/her
reading or writing. I am accustomed to teaching English to
first and second year college students.  The bulk of my
experience with this population has been in work with the
developmental student, the basic reader and writer, or
students who have yet to meet the prerequisite standards set
for First Year Freshman English. However, Ive also taught
numerous Freshman English Courses.  In addition to teaching,
Ive tutored college students and taught high school
English. I can work with a student on essays for classes,
any reading material (novels, textbooks etc) or the day to
day homework and schoolwork assignments. My fees are
$40/hour and I will email you my resume should you request
it. If you are interested in finding out more or scheduling
a preliminary meeting with me and your child, email me or
