In addition to songwriting and performing, I teach creative writing.

My philosophy is to emphasize what's working and offer tools that will empower you on and off the page.

Whether you're looking for help with grammar and mechanics, development of ideas, personal essays, academic papers, college applications, artist statements, or, of course, songwriting, contact me and we can devise a plan for success.

Credentials: - I'm an MFAW Candidate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I currently assistant teach and tutor at the Writing Center. - I have a BA in Creativity & Consciousness from the Gallatin School for Individualized Study at New York University. - I've been tutoring high school and college students since 1999.

Miss getting mail? Like, real handwritten letters? For one year I'll write you a letter or a postcard once a month, with personal stories and doodles. You don't have to write back, though you're welcome to.

Shipping included.
