My Approach

Writing doesn’t have to be daunting—quit hitting your head against a blank page, waiting for inspiration to strike! I have years of experience teaching Ivy-League students proven strategies for gradually building effective essay through a series of manageable steps. Clear, concise writing is a must, but the best essays also need to make bold moves admissions officers can’t help but remember. I love helping students take their stories in unexpected directions, encouraging them to try out some of the skills I practice all the time as a creative writer: twisting narratives away from expected cliches, zooming in on perfect details, and bringing key moments to life help students let their story-telling shine .
