I believe that writing is for everyone. I approach my teaching as an opportunity to help others engage with their own distinct practice and process in different contexts. I teach both creative and analytical writing in a range of settings, including those listed below. Upcoming classes open to the public will be posted on this page.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Thank you so much for all your guidance during the college admissions process! My personal statement is easily one of my favorite essays I’ve written, and I really couldn’t have done it without your help.
Student from Wonderworks: Admit One College Essay Workshop, Summer 2020
Revision is tough, emotional, exhausting. With a rather ingenious deliberate touch Claire Anderson was able to motivate those in the course who were ready for a harder push, and others who simply need encouragement and direction. The materials she provided were pointed and carefully curated. Her comments were not selective either, the things she pushed beginners and experts on were directed to everyone, and were impactful to all of us. It’s hard to find that level of education in any craft.

When I saw that more work was going to be required compared to a face to face class, I honestly wanted to switch out. However, I am very thankful all the face to face classes filled up. This class has single handedly improved my writing tenfold, and has made my writing a strong skill.
Student from University of Houston: First-Year Writing I, Fall 2017
The things I’ve learned from you will no doubt be with me for the rest of my life. I cannot thank you enough for giving me the tools I need to succeed. Thank you for being open, honest, available, thorough, and prepared to teach us. With the courses I’ve taken you have by far provided the most useful material.
