“I grew up with a pretty substantive disdain towards writing, but you helped turn my perspective around. I want to thank you for all your help and encouragement. You taught me that writing is a tool for organizing one’s thoughts and communicating ideas with intention through tone, diction and individuality. Having been involved in math research and also teaching math over the last few years, I see just how undervalued writing is (especially amongst my fellow STEM folk). I am simply grateful for you and your teaching. Thank you!”

— Chris G.

“Thank you for letting me write my notes the way I did and not holding me to do it the ‘correct way;’ if there is a correct way. You inspired me to be more of myself and less like how everyone is and helped me enjoy English a lot more (despite how much I still hate reading).”

— Eric T.

“You have honestly made writing an enjoyable pastime.”

- Matthew M.

“You taught me to express my thoughts elegantly and to think precisely, developing my own voice as a writer, while adhering to academic convention. Your openness to new perspectives and encouraging attitude create an atmosphere of collaboration and joyful work.”

“For the longest time, writing was an extremely daunting process. the sheer amount of possibilities and complexities that often came with the activity felt so suffocating that I dreaded even beginning. However, GG changed the writing game for me - she presented writing in a more forgiving light. Instead of enforcing this idea that my writing was a direct reflection of my intelligence and capacities, she allowed me to see it as a mode of expression and communication. I never felt afraid to show her my writing. I knew that she was not judging but simply looking for ways to help me learn and grow. She helped me see writing as a form of art, a passion to refine, the very tool I could use to express myself authentically to the world.”
