Experience

I have 25 years of tutoring experience, with a special focus on nonfiction writing. I coach high-school seniors as they develop and then hone their college application essays. I currently serve as a Sutton Trust / Fulbright Commission Mentor for underprivileged applicants. I previously taught a course on the personal essay to adolescents over several summers for the Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth. A veteran classroom teacher, I have led courses for teachers with the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I am also a seasoned debate coach with a highly successful squad.

Hobbies

I am always active! I love hiking and fishing with my family in warm months. I read most days, and I love cooking a variety of cuisines. I work in an organic garden I founded seven years ago, alongside 25 allotment gardeners who have joined me. This summer spent three weeks volunteering, translating for refugees and health-care professionals in Germany.
