DEAR ADULTS: INDIVIDUAL TUTORING

Student writers often strive to write to the best of their abilities, whether it means a special emphasis on clarity, creativity, or something else. As a student’s tutor, I also strive—I set learning targets and success criteria to best guide your child to become a better writer. Additionally, I have over 20 years of experience teaching secondary students what makes good writing and how best to accomplish it. 

I enter the individual tutoring knowing I can use this past experience and current methods to help students overcome obstacles, to advise and encourage them appropriately, and to support them during the process of building self-confidence. My aim is to help each child reflect on my guidance as it becomes second nature to them. My aim is for students to eventually guide themselves and to believe in themselves and the writing skills they acquire.
