I've spent the past 20 years working as a professional journalist, editor, and college writing teacher. While I've greatly enjoyed contributing articles to publications like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, I've taken just as much pleasure in helping other writers master and hone their craft—both as an editorial staffer at Random House and glossy magazines, and as a college-level writing instructor at U.C. Berkeley. In recent years, I've begun offering private tutoring sessions... Read more

As you can see from my picture, I've been tutoring for a long time! I've always had an innate talent for doing well on standardized tests, my greatest accomplishment in the field being an 800+ (never knew about the "+" until then) on the Verbal section of the GRE when I was applying to grad school. I'd been helping students with the SAT and GRE even before then, but it was about fifteen years ago, when I was formally trained by the Kaplan organization in tutoring the SAT and ACT, that I reall...

I think the best way to learn anything is by putting it into practice, so a tutoring lesson with me would focus around working through programming problems together. Since ... Read more
