About Fia

I am a published author with a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Young Adults, as well as an experienced substitute teacher. I am available for assistance with English/Language Arts, Reading, and Creative Writing for upper elementary, middle school, high school, gap year, and college students, as well as freelance editing and apprenticeship services for aspiring children's and young adult writers.

I enjoy both challenging and encouraging my students to push their work to new levels of excellence and creativity. My goal for my students is for them not only to come away from my sessions as stronger readers and writers, but also to gain a true enjoyment of and appreciation for the language arts.

Qualifications:

Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts

Published author of two middle-grade novels (ages 10-14) with Simon & Schuster (The Flourishing of Floralie Laurel, 2018, and, The Serendipity of Flightless Things, 2019)

Current After School Program Coordinator

3 Years' Experience as a Substitute Teacher

Overview:

My services include any assistance with reading/writing school work the student may need relating to writing/reading, as well as (optional) light additional assignments to boost the student’s grasp of concepts and/or enjoyment of the subject. Students are encouraged to submit drafts of papers in progress to me ahead of time to be discussed during their next session. Outside of school reading assignments are based both on the student’s reading level and personal interests. I am available for tutoring English/Language Arts and Creative Writing to upper elementary, middle school, high school, gap year, and college students. I am also available for freelance editing and apprenticeship services for aspiring authors of children's and young adult fiction. Services are conducted over Zoom (occasionally in-person) and through editorial notes.

Included Services:

1-hour tutoring session

Provide guidance on school-assigned papers, readings, homework, etc.

Provide detailed editorial notes on papers/assignments to be discussed in-session (I strongly suggest submitting papers to me in advance, as outlined in my policies)

Provide guidance on reading choices for independent reading in collaboration with student/based on student’s interests and reading level

Phone, email, or Zoom consultation with student’s in-school English teacher (optional)

Monthly or bi-monthly Tutor/Parent Meetings (15 mins if monthly, 30 mins if bi-monthly, to be conducted after a tutoring session) (optional)

Provide light and fun writing exercises—these may be creative writing prompts (including observational prompts, fiction writing, poetry writing, or skit writing), expository writing, personal essay prompts, research prompts, reading response assignments, grammar workbook exercises, etc. (optional)

Details

I offer a free 1-hour consultation before you commit to services.

Payment:

$50 per 1-hour session/all included services. Payments may be made via Paypal or Zelle.

Additional sessions may be scheduled either in advance as regular sessions, or on a “drop-in” basis as my schedule permits (please email/text to arrange drop-ins).

Any additional drop-in sessions per week will be given a 10% discount ($45 per additional 1-hour drop-in session).

Any additional regularly-scheduled session per week will be given a 20% discount ($40 per additional 1-hour session).

Policies:

A no-show fee equivalent to the price of the session will be charged if not given 24 hours’ notice of cancellation.

A late-payment fee of $10 will be charged if payment is not received within 48 hours of the session (or in advance). Each day that payment is not received, the late-payment fee will increase by $10.

Payments may be made immediately prior to/following the session, or for up to 10 sessions in advance if desired. If a cancellation needs to be made and you have pre-paid, a make-up session will be scheduled. No refunds will be given for cancellations on the part of the client.

If, for whatever reason, I need to cancel the session, a make-up session will be scheduled, or a full refund for that session will be given via Paypal or Zelle (client may decide which they prefer).

If internet or technical problems occur, the session will be expanded to accommodate lost time, or, a make-up session will be scheduled. If a make-up session absolutely cannot be scheduled, a full or partial refund for that session will be given via Paypal or Zelle, depending on how much time of the session was lost.
