For over a decade, Daniel worked as a Staff Writer and editor for publications like Thrillist, the College Music Journal, and XXL. As an editor, Daniel collaborated closely with high school and college students to generate compelling ideas, outline their assignments, and discover their own specific voice on the page. When working with students, he emphasizes structure on a sentence-to-sentence level while encouraging curiosity, passion, and empathy in the brainstorming phase. His teaching style involves harnessing creative impulses, tapping into outside interests in a variety of disciplines, and tailoring lessons to the needs of the individual student.
As a writing coach and tutor, he looks forward to working with students on sharpening their executive functioning skills, polishing their college admission essays and research papers, and improving their reading and writing standardized test scores. Using open-ended questions and careful listening, he helps students build habits and acquire techniques that demystify the writing process. He believes strong writing emerges from close reading, focussed research, and genuine introspection.
