About Susan

To see samples of my work (Superprof requests tutors not provide links):

One of my poems about identity, "Imagining Abraham," can be found in Rattle magazine's summer 2021 issue focused on Appalachian Poets. The poem is followed by a short personal essay.

One of my poems about nature, identity and survival, "Wild Joy of Receiving," can be found in the fall 2024 issue of The Baltimore Review. That work is also followed by a contributor's note about the origins of the poem.

One of my dramatic monologues (poems written in the voice of a character or persona), "Words from a Midwest Farm Wife," can be found in the Jan. 2022 issue of Qu magazine.

About the lesson

Dear Students and Parents,

When I was in school, I had favorite teachers. They weren't merely the ones who were funny and nice; they were the ones who engaged me, enthralled me and taught me lessons and skills that I use and benefit from today.

English -- or, really, anything involving reading, writing and communicating -- was and continues to be my true love. Having taught creative writing for years, as well as worked successfully with students on their application essays for college and graduate school, I have the experience to teach anyone how to write more persuasively, correctly and compellingly.

I earned a bachelor's degree from Cornell and a master's from the University of Michigan. When I'm not teaching and editing student writing, I write arts journalism and poetry. My journalism has most recently appeared in The Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, Jewish Daily Forward, Albany Times Union, and more. My poetry's most recently appeared in the Harvard Review Online, Rattle, The Common, Prairie Schooner and North American Review, among others.

Students willing to work on and grow their English composition, comprehension and creative skills can improve their results, and I'd be happy to help them do so.

Please note: I focus on building students' skills, not egos. I believe students do best when we teach them how to succeed, rather than suggesting that they will -- or should -- always feel comfortable on the path to growth.
