My lessons are built around how you think, not just what you know.

I work with students who want to develop clarity in their ideas and a stronger sense of voice in their writing or creative work. Sessions are structured as focused conversations, where we explore concepts, refine arguments, and work directly with your material.

Depending on your needs, we might work with essays, creative writing, design projects, or theoretical subjects such as aesthetics and philosophy. I provide feedback, structure, and guidance — but the goal is always to help you think more independently and express yourself more clearly.

My background is in design, storytelling, and aesthetics, and I approach teaching as a collaborative and reflective process.

I have several years of experience working with students in both academic and creative contexts, including mentoring on essays, research projects, and portfolio development. I am particularly interested in helping students move from vague or intuitive ideas toward something more structured, precise, and communicable. This often involves slowing down the thinking process, asking better questions, and learning how to shape and articulate an argument or concept with intention.

Over time, the aim is to build confidence, independence, and a more grounded way of working with ideas.
