About Me
I live in Reading, MA with my husband, four teenage daughters and two dogs.
I have an BS in English from Fitchburg State, and a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Lesley University.
I have been teaching for 26 years: High School & Middle School.
I’m flexible and will tailor sessions to meet your student’s needs and make a schedule that works for everyone.
I am happy to chat in person to discuss any questions you may have. Reach out via email or fill out the form attached to arrange a time to chat.
The Process
Imagine going back to school in the fall with the essay finished!!
I typically meet with each student 3-5 times and they will leave our last session with a completed college essay. If students have an essay drafted from school that they would like to use, it may take fewer meetings. If not, I we will brainstorm and make a plan together.
Students then work on their essays independently and we will come back together to produce a final draft.
Summer Sessions
I am available all summer to work with your student so they do not need to worry about their essay when their senior year of high school rolls around next September.
Session Options;
Some students want to meet a couple of times a week to get the job done!
Many students like a week in between sessions to allow time to work independently on their essay.
Whatever works best for your student works for me!
Meet You There!
There are a number of options for where I can work with your student:
Your home
My home
Reading Public Library
A local cafe: Nero's or Starbucks
On Line!! Want to meet over Zoom? Writing works well virtually if that is something you are interested in. Let's chat about this option if you feel like it is something you want to consider.
Wherever your student is comfortable works for me...just let me know!

Audra has a friendly, kind vibe! My daughter felt comfortable around her and even WANTED to work with her. Audra uses great techniques to help students remember how to write a good essay! We highly recommend her.

I have worked with Audra for the past four years, and she has been an incredibly supportive, reliable, and knowledgeable colleague. She is able to meet students where they are (in terms of their interests and academic skill level) and create lessons that helps them grow and thrive as readers and writers. While pushing her students to be their best, she also makes sure they have a laugh and know that she cares about them and wants them to succeed. Anyone would be lucky to work with Audra!
