Together, we can do amazing things!  


I offer 1:1 tutoring and group classes in writing to inspire creativity, boost confidence, and develop advanced communication skills.

Unlike many other online classes that are solely skill based, Amazing Day Academy engages young minds through a holistic approach that focuses on writing skills, life skills, and heart skills. My individual and group sessions are uniquely designed to empower young leaders with the tools, inspiration, and confidence to find their unique writing voice and enjoy the writing process.

Amazing Feedback

Mom of a 3rd Grader

Teaching and learning online are tough. Mary does so with such ease that my son couldn’t wait to dive right in each day. As a teacher myself, I found online teaching disastrous but Mary has a true gift. I’m in awe of her classroom management abilities even (and especially) through the screen. Her classes offer fun ways to write and explore and the hour just flies by

My son LOVED the poetry class!! Thank you for offering such an engaging course. After the first day, he would set his own alarm and be ready to go a few minutes before class because he didn't want to miss a single minute. He then would try to teach what he learned to his sisters after class. He truly enjoyed the class and described it as "super fun." Thank you again for giving him this gift It was the bright spot in his day during shelter-in-place.

Mary gave my daughter the tools to become a better writer, but she also gave her permission - and outright encouragement - to become her own writer. She can now write anything with confidence, and sometimes even joy. She is a self-described "writer" and Mary gets credit for helping her hone her craft.
