About Donna
I am a practicing attorney with many years of experience analyzing complex documents, researching difficult questions and writing persuasive arguments.
My legal training has strengthened the same skills students need to succeed in reading and writing.
In addition to my legal career, I have spent many years writing, studying literature, history, religion, social sciences and culture across times, countries and history.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Mount Holyoke Colege and a J.D. from Rutgers University.
I am a writer. I write essays, short stories and poetry. I am an avid reader of all genres.
I enjoy helping students discover that reading is about understanding ideas and learning how to think independently.

I help students become stronger readers, thinkers and writers.
My lessons focus on reading comprehension, literary analysis, essay writing, critical thinking and persuasive writing.
Whether you are studying Jane Austen, Toni Morrison, Leo Tolstoy, Gwendolyn Brooks, Bessie Head, Chinua Acebe, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, James Baldwin or Simone de Beauvoir, I help students read, comprehend and synthesize the material.
Every student learns differently. During the first lesson, I identify where the student has difficulty. It may be vocabulary or understanding an author's purpose. At other times the student understands the reading, but struggles to organize ideas into an essay.
Once we identity the difficulty, we work through it step by step, using discussion, close reading, guided questions and structured writing exercises.
Students like reading what interests them. I help them to enjoy and try to master whatever books, articles or texts they are reading.
