Private lessons for students of all ages

These will be customized lessons based on your student’s needs, goals, and school curriculums. Writing is an incredible tool that transcends disciplines. Be it English, history, social studies, or even the sciences, an ability to closely read and analyze literature, as well as an ability to write clearly, concisely, and convincingly is a discipline with life-long benefits. 

For younger students, I offer lessons in reading comprehension, literacy, handwriting, and basic rhetoric for creative and analytical writing.

For high school students, I offer in depth sessions in writing (analytical writing, creative writing, or nonfiction) for better usage of rhetorical devices, sentence structure, syntax, style, and format. Sessions in curriculum-based literature analysis will be focused on annotation, comprehension, and an instruction of poetics within a given piece. Poets like Elizabeth Bishop, William Shakespeare, Charles Baudelaire, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Langston Hughes will be introduced to your student for better strength in understanding basic poetics (to be applied to novel-length texts assigned in class).

I am available to teach all works of literature within the western canon taught k-12.
