I have always loved writing, whether it be to simply express myself or write essays as part of coursework during school. I am excited for the opportunity to be able to share my love of writing, my skills and to provide guidance to others. Areas of writing that I am especially keen on teaching are: outlining an essay, how to write an essay, different types of essays and helpful tips to tackle each kind (narrative, descriptive, persuasive, and expository). I am comfortable tutoring very young writers as well as older writers. I also have a lot of experience working with younger children and tutoring them in various subject areas, especially reading and writing. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions that you may have. Although I live in Hoboken, I work Monday-Friday in New York City and am willing to tutor in person in NYC as it is a very easy commute for me. I look forward to working with you!
