Jamie Harper
Winters, CA

Author, Writing Tutor, Proofreader, Editor, and Coach

Got a writing project? Why not have a published author help make it the best it can be! As an author, I have written, edited, co-edited, collaborated on, and ultimately published several short works of fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetic works. I have four years of experience in English tutoring, assisting undergraduate and graduate-level students in writing class essays, fiction and nonfiction creative writing, technical writing samples, and research papers. My general education experience covers nearly ten years of teaching, research, and project production, including written media, slide presentations, and informational posters. My other education experiences include two years of environmental education for middle school students and eight years of wildlife education for students and members of the general public of all ages, so I am adept at researching, restructuring, and distributing information in a streamlined, easily comprehensible manner. I believe the most important thing an educator can offer their students is the ability to restructure information to fit the student's individual learning styles and needs. So if you need accommodations or a new approach, I will do my best to work with you. While my expertise is in creative writing, I am happy to help you with any of your writing needs!

Olivea Herrera
Camarillo, CA

Recent College Graduate

My major in college was media criticism and theory, which means that I had to write in depth for years about a plethora of topics. I have always loved writing ever since I was young and have submitted pieces to creative writing contests. Because of my schooling, I am very qualified to teach the topic I have been studying for years. Not only that, but I have experience in leading children from the time that I was a counselor Girl Scout camp. Mixing these qualities together is proof of why I am a good choice in tutor.

Langley Smith

Certified English and Reading Tutor, Over 12 Years of Teaching Experience

In my eleven years as an educator, over half of them have been dedicated to helping students build an early, solid foundation in reading comprehension and English language literacy. It was my later years spent as a creative writing and poetry teacher at a performing arts non-profit academy and initial 4-year run as a State qualifier in dramatic speech that inspires me to use my natural enthusiasm, flair for versatility in lesson planning and pervasive knowledge of written composition, public speaking and creative self expression to engage students!

Sandra Ballatore
Los Angeles, CA

PUBLISHED WRITER/TEACHER IMPROVES WRITING FAST

As a published writer, I am dedicated to bringing imagination and fun into the writing experience for children and teens. I have published many books on story writing, including the What If Story Book, Creative Writing for Kids, and Imagination Nation, a book of poems that describe all the wonderful careers we can choose that are creative. By meeting online, in Google.Docs and Google.meet, we do freewriting together, we read amazing pieces by other writers, and we write stories and poems of our own. We add drawings and artwork sometimes, and we learn how to create a collection of our best pieces. Since most writing in school is essay writing, my lessons not only teach students "how" to write well, but "Why" writing is so fun for so many people. Students learn quickly that the more creatively they think, the better all their writing becomes, even essays and reports.

Jessica Johnson
Laguna Hills, CA

San Diego State University Student; Writing Mentor for RWS department; ESL tutor

As an English Comparative Literature major at San Diego State University, I am also pursuing a career in Creative Writing. I am in the process of writing my own novel soon to be published. I am participating in a Creative Writing credential program alongside a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies. I have taken several Creative Writing courses and lessons which have taught me the best way to help people improve their writing. Finally, I'm involved in a summer internship at Alpha Book Publishing, where I am gaining experience in the publishing industry as well. During these lessons, we will go through a step-by-step process of understanding your writing. First, we will dive into your plot idea and how it can be expanded upon through your writing. As a writer, you will be mentioning the points of your story that are influential to the plot and we will find different ways to add subplot points around them. In each lesson, I will provide feedback and suggestions to not only help you write but also get published.

Connor Will
Mission Viejo, CA

High school/College Level Writing Tutor

Throughout my time as a tutor thus far, I’ve demonstrated the ability to provide superb structural and grammatical support. No matter what level of writing comprehension or where a student is in the writing process, I lend guidance where needed. IIn addition, I think I would be an ideal candidate since I completed most of my masters during the pandemic and have considerable experience conducting work virtually as a result. I have consistently maintained professional diligence and adhered to ethical standards over the years. I’ve accumulated hands-on experience in supporting students in the learning and writing process as illustrated by completion of the following tasks: - Provided guidance to students regardless of their stage in the writing process. - Provided thesis and topic guidance for academic papers of various subjects, lengths, and formats. - Provided grammatical and structural support on students’ academic papers. - Developed a good rapport with students in a variety of settings and academic levels.

Leann Masters
Moses Lake, WA

Fun, Exciting, and Positive Tutor, With Years of Experience in All Subjects Taught

I have a Bachelor's of Arts degree from Eastern Washington University with a minor in English. I have been doing creative writing since 1999, and have enjoyed a long history of creating and building worlds and stories. In the Creative Writing community, you'll hear people talk all the time about "Plotters" versus "Pantsers." When I started out writing I was solidly in the Pantsers community. Through the years I have found that having a better outline allows for tighter storylines and less time spent in editing. As an original Pantser myself, I have found many ways to outline and plot that do not impede my "by the seat of my pants" style of writing. In my tutoring, I will focus on the many different types of plotting and outlining, and how these techniques can work both for people who love to have a full plot created before they start Chapter One, and for those people who think a plot is something you look back to see after you write The End. Learn the basics of story structure, while maintaining your freedom in your writing. If you already are a plotter, you can become a better plotter. And if you are a pantser... you can maintain that attitude and still gain the advantages of plotting!

I've been studying creative writing for about a year now, and I've been working on creative writing projects and stories for over six years, and in that time I've shared my stories with different online outlets (not published) ranging from different publishers to simply social media sites, even trying to enter competitions and other events to try and get my writing out there where I've had a lot of experience with short stories and poverty because that's my own style, and I've even done story writing as a freelancing gig on Fiverr where I took a lot of order that all received high praise.

Lisa McIvor
Seattle, WA

Writing Coach

I attended Goddard College in Vermont where I completed my MFA in Creative Writing and went on to complete an MA in Transformative Language Arts, which is a therapeutic adjunct for working through grief, loss, and life transitions. For me, all writing, academic or creative, is an opportunity for transformation, for ourselves and for those who read our work. I am also a licensed home health nurse and hold a BA in Social Work from Antioch University and these fields have taught me the art of deep listening and the ability to come alongside my student so that the process of composition or revising of an academic or creative work is truly enhanced by our time together. I also have quite a bit of experience with academic research that is so essential when assisting an a more advanced student. I love working with children of all ages, and as a home health nurse I have worked with children and adults with special needs and have facilitated writing groups for individuals with cerebral palsy for 6 years with UCP's Art is Not an Option program. I have had two books of poetry published, Winter Mother, by Kelsay Books in 2016, and Breathe, that was published by Cherry Grove Editions in 2021. I have had short stories and poems published in literary journals such as Bellowing Arc, 4th Street, and The Soul's Bright Home.
