Welcome to a new way to write.
Grow as a writer, reader, and thinker with personalized writing lessons.

Everyone uses words! We rely on them to share ideas, exchange information, and express our creativity.
Yet what if writing always feels like a struggle? What if your words don’t reflect what you want to communicate? What if your voice is absent from the opportunity to answer an important question simply because you avoided writing?

Maybe what you need most is a new strategy for learning how to write, one that encourages you to
write, revise, and polish
your words so that they represent exactly what you want.
What if you could take weekly, in-person writing lessons that focus on your specific writing project, challenges, and goals?
Words shape the world. Make your mark.

Meet Your Word Tutor
Your Word Tutor lessons are held in-person at the Center for Performing Arts in south Minneapolis.
I’m delighted to have a dedicated space in which to meet one-on-one with students, and to work in a building that serves as a creative hub for neighbors in and around Kingfield.
Hi, I’m Rachel Gabriel.
My joy is to encourage people to practice their natural creativity, especially through the process of writing. I developed Your Word Tutor in response to an emerging need for a more personalized approach to learning—and growing!—the skills needed to write with clarity and intention.
With over two decades of experience as a practicing writer and teaching artist, I have worked with a diverse community of students on a variety of projects! What do you want to communicate? Contact me, and let’s begin.
