We do some digging to find the unique stories that a transcript can't show.
I provide structure and feedback to turn ideas into a compelling narrative.
Final line-editing for grammar, flow, and maximum impact
I have been a public middle and high school teacher for over 25 years. My goal is to do more than just help get you into college - it's to help you feel confident in the story you're telling.
I live in Reading, MA with my husband, four daughters and two dogs.
I have an BS in English from Fitchburg State, and a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lesley University.
I’m flexible and will tailor sessions to meet your student’s needs and make a schedule that works for everyone.
I am happy to chat in person to discuss any questions you may have. Reach out via email or fill out the form attached to arrange a time to chat.
Imagine going back to school in the fall with the essay finished!!
I typically meet with each student 2-4 times and they will leave our last session with a completed college essay. If students have an essay drafted from school that they would like to use, it may take fewer meetings. If not, we will brainstorm and make a plan together.
Students then work on their essays independently and we will come back together to produce a final draft.
I am available all summer to work with your student so they do not need to worry about their essay when their senior year of high school rolls around next September.
Some students want to meet a couple of times a week to get the job done!
Many students like a week in between sessions to allow time to work independently on their essay.
Whatever works best for your student works for me!
There are a number of options for where I can work with your student:
Your home
My home
Reading Public Library
A local cafe: Nero's or Starbucks
On Line!! Want to meet over Zoom? Writing works well virtually if that is something you are interested in. Let's chat about this option if you feel like it is something you want to consider.
Wherever your student is comfortable works for me...just let me know!
