I'M JENN. ACADEMIC WRITING INSTRUCTOR & PRIVATE TUTOR.

I teach students the missing link between reading and writing to cut through the stress and overwhelm of writing assignments and get top grades.

You don't need to read more or write more

...you just need to know what to do in between.

YOUR WRITING

- AND YOUR WRITING PROCESS -

IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.

Most writing instruction focuses on fixing the words on the page. ​

 

That's why it doesn't work.

 

Because the words aren't the first step - they're the last.

 

I teach you what happens before you sit down to write:

the habits,

micro-steps and

thinking strategies

 

that strong students use to get top grades

- and turn their reading into clear, structured ideas.

No templates.

 

No guesswork.

 

No burnout.

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW...

I'm Jenn - with two n's.
I'm an obsessive DIY'er, mom of 3, and academic writing instructor & literacy specialist who knows firsthand what it's like to struggle with writing.


For the past 25 years, I've helped students from grade school through university kick burnout to the curb, and become confident, strong writers.

IT'S NOT YOU

- THAT ISN'T WORKING - 

IT'S YOUR PROCESS.

You're putting in the work -

the reading, the note-taking, 

the time, the effort. 

It's not you that's broken. 

Your process is.

Most students are taught to treat reading and writing as separate tasks.

 

Read...then write.

But that's exactly what causes the problem. 

 

Because academic writing isn't about repeating what you've read - it's about using it. 

The read-then-write process drops you into a text

 

- and then launches you into the realm of writing.

Without a process to connect the two, you're left...

second-guessing

overthinking

struggling to put ideas into words

and staring at a blank page.

​​I teach you the steps in between -

 

so you can move from reading to writing with clarity and direction.

YOU DON'T HAVE A WRITING PROBLEM.

YOU HAVE A PROCESS ONE.

THE 2 STEP READ-WRITE PROCESS

Here, the missing steps between reading and writing leave you without direction.

You don't know what to do with what you've read, so writing feels disconnected, frustrating and forced.

MY WRITING PROCESS

 Here, the missing steps are in place.

 You know how to use what you've read, so your ideas are clear - and writing becomes a natural next step. 

 

​AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TEACH IN MY TUTORING SESSIONS & MY TUTORIALS.

CLEAR THINKING = CLEAR WRITING

Writing doesn't have to feel like a grind. 

 

When you learn the right micro-steps and thinking strategies, you stop wasting time, stop over-reading, and start building momentum every time you sit down to work.

YOU DON'T NEED TO READ MORE OR WRITE MORE.

YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IN BETWEEN.

And this is where most students go wrong.

 

You've been taught to separate reading and writing. 

 

And that the fix is to:

just start messy,

read more,

write more,

or follow formulas and plug ideas into organizers.

 

That's what makes writing feel hard. 

 

Because those aren't real fixes.

They all start with the output - the words on the page.

 

But strong writing that flows naturally doesn't start there.

It starts with how you read,

how you think,

how you make sense of ideas.

 

It's not about doing more. 

 

It's about starting in the right place. 

WHAT CHANGES

WHEN STUDENTS LEARN 

THE STEPS IN BETWEEN

LESS GUESSING. MORE CLARITY. BETTER RESULTS.

"I use to take a long time to write essays and was told to explain my ideas more...Now i know how to do this."

- 3rd year university student

"I thought I needed to work on my writing. Now I see most of my problems were reading ones."

- PhD Student

"I got 88% on my psych paper... it was the first time I felt like I knew what I was doing."

- 3rd year college student

"My teachers never explained things like that. It made a big difference."

- 1st year university student

"I keep your guide open on my desktop and go back to it all the time."

- 4th year university student

  Students come back to this years later.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WRITING FINALLY MAKES SENSE.

Writing formulas. Graphic organizers. Essay templates.

They all focus on the words on the page. 

But real change happens long before that.

It's in how you read, think and make sense of ideas - before you ever start writing.

  WHERE WILL YOU START TO SEE REAL CHANGE?  

personal support, clear structure, and real-time guidance

perfect for university students to work through at their own pace
