Your child deserves the support they need to become the best student they can be.


I am an award winning writer putting my 25 years of experience writing, teaching, and empowering students to work for you.

In an increasingly complex world, more than grades and degrees matter. Critical thinking skills, comprehension, empathy, and self-awareness are developed through reading and writing. Even in the best schools in the country, teachers don’t have the time to spend one-on-one helping your child develop these essential skills. That’s where I come in.

As a graduate of both Deerfield Academy and Yale University, I know the elite educational landscape and its demands intimately.

My MFA in Poetry and MA in English Literature mean I have spent a lifetime reading widely and deeply. I will use my expertise to empower your child.

Improved grades and SAT scores are the byproduct of deeper reading, more inspired commitment, improved sense of purpose in learning, and an ever-expanding skillset with which to tackle tough tasks.
