About Jon
Right Brain is an all-ages and all-levels service to help anyone inspired to create art or entertainment, or succeed in school, improve their writing skill, from a published author who has been writing regularly for 10 years+, with extensive experience in editing, reading, and publishing. Writing is a learned skill, and with Right Brain, students can skip much of the long years of trial-and-error self-teaching foibles writers endure, with the experience of someone who has been there.
During sessions, I will bring examples and write some of my own to demonstrate what should and shouldn't be done in writing, and give valuable feedback tailored to the individual based on his/her writing style, in addition to teaching lessons and theories, and helping with publishing goals, should the writer have them.
Here is my author's page on Amazon: (concealed information)
and my Facebook page: (concealed information)
I love it for what it is - self-expression and creation, making something from nothing. The editing I enjoy at least as much. It feels like tinkering with old cars - a happy occupation that never ends.
Associate's in Liberal Arts from MCC-Elkhorn
10 years of writing and editing experience (self-taught)

Getting to know them by talking about interests and what they like to read, and within the first half hour, assigning a short project I can evaluate within that session, giving feedback before I leave, as well as assigning a 'theme', that is, the standard 5-paragraph paper involving the thesis statement in the intro, 3 body paragraphs, and conclusion, so I can better assess the student the next time we visit.
That the difference between education and experience is mainly just money and government recognition. The only way to learn a learned skill is through experience, and that can come at school, or somewhere else. Either way, there's no way to avoid the reality that a teacher must be experienced in what they teach. Research your candidate.
I hadn't seen a play in 16 years before last week - we saw the Brigit St. Brigit production of Steven Sondheim's 'Assassins' because my mother was playing the proprietor. I can't lie - I went into it with certain expectations, not being real fond of musicals, and came out of it truly glad for the experience.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my goals? Are they simply to get a passing grade in school, or something more? Am I willing to take someone else's word for it, even if my opinion conflicts with it? Am I ready for the reality check that, tutor or no, I'm not going to be an expert tomorrow?

Details
I charge 30 for one hour. Every hour after that is 20% off the total. For instance: six hours would be 6 x 30 - 20% or 180 - 36 = 144 (cash or check written out to Right Brain Tutoring). If there is a week or day you can't pay, I put it on the tab, due on the 1st of the next month. First session is a free get-to-know-you meeting to help you decide if I am the right tutor for you.
