Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 11
I will tutor students through whatever writing project or projects they wish to bring to class. I have professional experience writing poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. 

My tutoring style is question based. I will ask students what they wish to accomplish in their writing project, and ask questions to guide them to new discoveries. I will also make suggestions for next steps. 

Students can continue booking this class with me if they would like ongoing tutoring for a longer creative writing project, such as a novel. 

I am a kind, patient and enthusiastic teacher. I do well with students who are not always comfortable expressing themselves verbally.

Other Details

Supply List
A notebook and pencil or word processor to take notes with are suggested.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! 

My name is Maura, and I'm an actor, musician, poet, and teacher. I have been teaching and tutoring for fifteen years. I'm always excited to share what I've learned with my students!

I graduated summa cum laude from Carthage College with degrees in Music and Theater Performance, and have been performing professionally as an actor and musician. I regularly perform with a children's theater that teaches kids about conservation!

I am also a published poet, and a professional ghostwriter and freelance book editor. As a huge nerd, I have read and am currently reading countless books, and I have an in-depth knowledge of plot creation and good literary structure. 

I also teach life skills, particularly cultivating motivation and dealing with overwhelming or negative emotions. I was home-schooled until college, and I am an extremely self-motivated person, as well as a problem-solver. As a highly sensitive person, I have to deal with stress often and have discovered numerous ways to deal with the inevitable tensions that life brings to us! I learned to be a positive person in high school, and I love teaching students ways to appreciate what is good even in the midst of negative situations. 

I am a very kind, patient, and encouraging teacher. I do well with both quiet and energetic students. My approach is question based, and I not only teach my students new information, I teach them how to arrive at valuable conclusions themselves. I use time efficiently, and am well prepared for every lesson I teach. I was homeschooled through high school, and I have a lot of respect for homeschooling parents and students. 

I hope to see you virtually soon!

Maura
