About Us

After a lot of struggle in college, Ms. Valerie finally figured out the pattern for writing a strong essay that earned the highest marks. Ms. Valerie has since worked as a free-lance editor, award winning writer, and teacher. You can read her curriculum vitae in her Linked In profile here.

But through it all, her passion is teaching.

Ms. Valerie taught writing, Shakespeare, and other classes for years, face to face.

After having a baby (following an 8 year gap), she cleared her plate of all her teaching duties to focus on her youngest child.

But parents of former students kept asking her to teach again. In order to continue to help students level up their writing skills, Ms. Valerie turned to the online platform.

When her first beta online course had over 200 students sign up--it re-enforced what she has noticed over the years: many students are not learning to write when taught the traditional way, and they know they NEED it (or at least their parents see the need :) ). 

Ms. Valerie's mission is to "Transform Anxious Teens into Confident Writers." She has seen this transformation happen over and over, and she has seen what amazing things happen when that confidence builds inside an adolescent. Teenagers have ideas worth sharing--but their ideas can only have impact when they're made visible. They must learn to write!
