I help students learn to find their own voice as a writer as it applies to their college applications, their schoolwork, or anything else. I typically begin by reviewing the essay I assigned them at the end of the previous lesson, on a topic we both devise together. After the review I give them a ten-minute "lightning round" essay on a surprise (but open-ended) topic, and then review that. I find that there are different lessons to be learned from the long-term and short-term essays. The remainder of the time is spent in a free-form discussion of writing and self-expression in general. My tutoring, with appropriate changes, works for students from kindergarten to college. My 30-year career as a highly successful writer for TV, stage and Twitter (where I had six million followers) has left me fully qualified to assist any budding writer in any capacity.
