About Phoebe
I firmly believe that collaboration is essential to creativity, which is why I love helping others achieve their writing goals!
I have taught a variety of lesson formats over the last decade, such as:
-Classroom teaching (Short Story; Novel Writing; Creative Memoir)
-Small group tutoring (SAT Exam; SAT English Subject Test)
-Private tutoring (ESL; English)
-Mentorship (Low-Literacy)
As a creative writer myself, I am also continuously learning, and some of my post-grad education includes:
-Certificate course in Creative Writing from Wesleyan University
-Six month intensive with NYT Bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater
-Short story and novel courses at Gotham Writers Workshop

You know how you can picture a horse in your mind, but when you try to draw it, it just looks like a weird giraffe?
"Good" writing isn't about grammar rules. It's not about three-act structure, and it definitely isn't just typing words onto a blank page.
Good writing is drawing the horse that looks like a horse. In other words: my goal is to help you write your stories exactly how YOU want them to be written. My job is not to give you universal rules of creative writing; it's to help you find YOUR rules for creative writing.
I offer two types of lessons, and you can mix and match for each session!
1. Project-Based
In these lessons, we'll focus on your works in progress. Whether it's your college essay or the novel you've been trying to finish for six years, I will give you specific feedback on your work, and we'll spend lesson time revising together.
2. Syllabus-Based
These lessons are similar to what you might find in a Creative Writing course. Each lesson will be on a different tool or element of writing, and we'll tailor these based on your own specific needs.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Phoebe.
Perfect! I was scared to talk about writing but when I opened up, Phoebe was very supportive! Also Phoebe gives a “challenge”, it’s not homework but it can help a lot!
- I'm looking forward to working together :)Phoebe's response :

Phoebe is an extremely talented writer with a passion for authentic storytelling. She is kind and engaging and an excellent sounding board for those working on a writing, cinematic, or live theater project. Moreover, she is open-minded and not afraid to help you navigate the challenging parts of the creative imagination.
Phoebe is an energetic, creative educator who brings fun and relatability to the virtual classroom. As a writer herself, Phoebe’s ability to lead with curiosity and fun provides a safe space to learn and fail with no judgment.
I've known Phoebe since undergrad where she mentored me academically as well as extracurricularly, where she taught me the fundamentals of writing theatre. She has a deep understanding of art and the mechanics that transform words/sentences/paragraphs into beautiful stories. She is an energetic collaborator with a good sense of humor and healthy form of communicating feedback. Phoebe cares deeply about the projects in which she is involved.
Phoebe is a creative linguist with a passion for both the French language and culture! Highly recommend.
