What do you enjoy about essay coaching?

I’m a former high school English teacher, so I enjoy working with teenagers on writing. I love hearing their stories and watching the culmination of years of effort come together.

What aspects of essay coaching do you find challenging?

I find the “business” aspects challenging – best way/amount to charge, styles of invoicing, advertising, etc.

What do you hope to gain from participating here?

I hope to learn more about both the pedagogy and business elements that my colleagues around the country are using!

What do you think you can offer other professionals?

I have some solid strategies for pulling writing out of struggling students and for forming quick connections. I’ve also learned a lot of virtual strategies in light of Covid-19.

What else would you like us to know about you?

I’m a parent of three kiddos under the age of 6!
