Inspiring Readers & Writers

My Services

  • Individual Tutoring

    I specialize in supporting students in 3rd - 8th grade who need tutoring in language arts as well as students who struggle with time management and organization. I offer tutoring in person and over Zoom.

  • Book Clubs

    Fun and engaging book clubs for small groups of students in 3rd grade through high school, who either are avid readers in need of a challenge or who still need to discover their love of reading.

  • Creative Writing

    Customizable creative writing classes, perfect for students in 3rd grade through high school who want to tap into their creativity and craft stories to publish or who are reluctant writers who need some inspiration.

  • Taylor Swift & The Tortured Poets

    Custom “Taylored” for the Swifties in your life! Take a deep dive into Taylor Swift’s lyrics and the poetry and literature that inspired her. This course can be modified to work for a variety of ages, but is best suited to students in 5th grade and above.

I am a tutor with 25 years of experience, first as a classroom teacher then as a tutor. I have my Masters in Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Columbia University, Teachers College and a BA in Psychology from Emory University.

I work with students in the Charlottesville area and, thanks to Zoom, beyond. Currently, I offer individual language arts tutoring and a variety of customizable reading and writing classes. I believe that students learn best when they are invested in and enjoying their work, so I strive to make my classes and tutoring fun as well as rigorous.

All of my classes are highly customizable, to fit a wide variety of needs. Please fill out the Inquiry Form, linked above, to schedule a free consultation with me.

My rates for tutoring and classes vary based on what you need from me, but typically Individual tutoring is $75 an hour. For my classes, the rates vary widely based on course length, meeting frequency, your desired outcomes (grades and report narratives vs. an enrichment class for fun etc.) and the number of students.
