Creative writing for kids & teens.

"Armando helped our child find his voice and develop ideas into writing projects. Our son hated his fifth-grade English class and resisted every assignment. Working with Armando helped him ace middle school and gave him tools he still uses."

"I began working with Armando to learn about acting — and left with a love for writing and reading I never expected. His unique, committed teaching style opened a whole new world for me."

"Armando taught me important storytelling concepts I was able to apply in my writing. He helped me expand my imagination as I dug for more ideas — and I'm proud to say I got my novel published."

"I highly recommend Armando. He worked with my daughter during a period when writing had become a burden for her. Armando was much more than a teacher — he was a friend, a big brother, and a caregiver who helped her express her feelings, emotions, and thoughts and turn them into art. I believe every child needs Armando during their teenage years."

"Just speaking with Armando and feeling his calm, softness, sensitivity, thoughtfulness, and capability — I have no doubt that every child will have a truly special, powerful, and inspiring experience with him!"

"Armando is one of a kind. Both my daughters learned creative writing with him, which gave them enormous self-confidence and brought out so much personal freedom and creativity. Their sessions with him were wonderful and enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

"My son worked with Armando until recently, several years after first starting — writing became his favorite subject! He even refused to use AI so as not to compromise his own authentic voice. Armando's connection with his students and his unique approach is truly one of a kind."
