About Anisha
Through words, we can tell stories, convey information clearly and succinctly, and persuade people in a style that is unique to each writer. Sometimes, with too many restrictions or none at all, writing can feel like drudgery. However, when employed skillfully, writing is the clearest and most profound method of communication. With templates and guidance that I’ve accumulated from years of writing experience, I am equipped to coach your child to writing more effectively, coherently, and creatively.
In school, English and language arts have always been my strongest subjects. I was always intrigued by the prospect of taking a prompt and responding to it as creatively as possible. For a while, I struggled to translate the depth of my critical thinking from class discussions into my writing. When I finally understood the importance of an outline, it didn’t feel like a limitation; rather, it helped me provide a sense of clarity to my writing. After all, what use is a good idea if one cannot communicate it to others?
I come from a family of teachers. The collaborative and fundamental approach that I take is a pedagogy that runs deep. The ultimate joy for me is to impart my knowledge and skills to others and to see how they take those skills and make it their own. It is why I constantly seek mentorship or coaching positions like assistant directing a choir and tutoring English in college. I would love to speak to you and your student to see if we are a good fit!
When I am not coaching students, I enjoy reading and writing fiction and mythology. I am a self-taught digital artist and avid concert-goer. I also love to cook, practice yoga, and learn something new!
