ABOUT SHELLY
I am a Brooklyn-based writing tutor and coach who helps students navigate writing challenges and gain greater confidence communicating their ideas.
I earned a BA in English from the University of Michigan and PhD in Literature from Stony Brook University and have over 15 years experience teaching writing and literature at CUNY and SUNY colleges. As an in-house writing tutor at St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn since 2011, I have helped undergraduate and graduate students craft papers, edit their work and research diverse topics for a range of classes including literature, history, psychology, sociology, philosophy and business--I have even helped students work on biology labs!
While I enjoy teaching in a classroom setting, I find it particularly satisfying to work closely with students one-on-one and witness their growing confidence and abilities as writers. This is what brought me to the world of private tutoring seven years ago, along with a desire to help younger students--middle and high schoolers--become stronger writers. My long-term experience teaching and tutoring college students has uniquely equipped me to work with younger students; I have a comprehensive understanding of the kind of writing they'll be expected to submit down the line. As a result, I can guide them in developing the skills and harnessing tools useful to them them now and invaluable in the future.
Fully vaccinated and available for in-person tutoring in Brooklyn and Manhattan or online. To inquire about rates or book a free consultation, contact Shelly.
