Coaching & Tutoring
I don't only edit and deliver polished pieces to my clients. I also love supporting individuals in their writing process. With my background in teaching—which includes many years in middle school classrooms, teaching college freshmen, mentoring and teaching fellow educators, and California credentials in English and K–12 multiple subjects—I support students of all ages in a variety of capacities. I aim to not only support my students with task completion, but also to assist them in gaining the skills and knowledge necessary to become more competent and independent thinkers, readers, and writers.

Support with developing ideas, structuring your content, crafting sentences, and polishing your prose

TESTIMONIALS
"Tanya is the teacher we all wish we had in school. She worked with my young daughter through a one-on-one online home instruction program focused on math, reading, social studies, science, and art. Tanya connected with my child right away. She was patient, perceptive, kind, and held high expectations for my daughter, encouraging her to rise up and meet the challenge of her daily schoolwork. Hearing my child ask questions, talk and laugh during the sessions with Tanya were such bright spots, even with the circumstances of her illness. Tanya is an incredibly experienced and skilled educator and we are so grateful for the encouragement, knowledge and support she gave my daughter as her teacher."

"I had Ms. T for English and Humanities in both 7th and 8th grade. She is what got me through the English curriculum. Coming from someone who doesn’t care for school all that much, she is an incredible teacher. She helped me prepare for high school by guiding me with kindness, while also being very clear and effective in her teaching. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs help."
