Mary
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist
I worked as a writing coach with a team at The Oregonian, in addition to writing editorials (opinion pieces) and working as a copy editor. My second favorite thing in life is writing.

My focus is to provide a warm and supportive educational space in which students feel safe to learn new concepts with guidance suited to their individual needs.

My priority when starting the tutoring process with a new student is to always make sure that they feel safe to make mistakes with me,... Read more
