"My philosophy of coaching is unique. I use precise questions to help clients develop their writing without writing for them. I enable them to develop a powerful written product that is a polished, original work in their authentic voice.
First hand experience has shown me that many writing tutors and well intentioned helpers write for their students and the students end up feeling less empowered and the papers, while often strong, do not really belong to them. This gap prevents real growth as a writer and can often lead to learned helplessness when it comes to writing. You should not have to depend on a tutor. Skills and ways to improve your writing can be internalized!
I combine strategies from workshops, classroom experience, and an array of writing resources in order to personalize my support and formulate a plan of support that fits each client's writing needs. I work with teenagers and adults throughout the Bay Area. Please contact me for more information about how a writing coach can help you express your authentic self."
