The Writers’ Studio, established in 2016 with the support of an Ottenstroer grant, serves the students and faculty on the Upper School campus, providing peer to peer tutorial services for students seeking assistance with English essays, research papers, labs, projects and presentations. In addition, students may receive assistance with critical reading skills.
The studio also offers leadership opportunities for its peer consultants in various programs, working with students at multiple grade levels, mentoring young writers, and assisting faculty with peer consultant/student dialogue about writing. The studio fosters the concept of one-on-one peer tutoring for students with a desire to improve and to enhance their writing skills. Within the studio, students may receive assistance from a peer consultant or an English faculty member. The peer consultants receive guidance from the director, but the peer consultants provide the necessary support to fellow students to gain confidence in their writing skills.

My name is Katherine Asbury. Outside of class, I am a sprinter on the track team, President of The V.E.T.S. Club, and a pet sitter. My favorite aspect of writing is that each work can reveal a glimmer of the writer’s personality. When I graduate Bolles in 2024, I intend to pursue a career in which I can showcase my passion for writing.

My name is Bella Bergeron and my favorite subject is English! I am currently a senior and am taking AP Lit as my English course for the 2023-2024 school year. I love to play volleyball and am committed to Denison University to continue my academic and athletic career. I loved reading Jane Eyre and collecting books to add to my many bookshelves at home! Can’t wait to meet new faces in The Writer’s Studio!
My name is Gabe Coleman, and I've been at Bolles since second grade. I enjoy running track, critiquing movies, and raising money for the Alzheimer's Association in honor of my grandmother, Pat, who has the disease. My friends think I'm weird because I only order the classic buffalo sauce flavor when we go to Buffalo Wild Wings, but I think it's weird that they haven't figured out what they like yet. I know for a fact that I like writing, though, so I'm very excited to be working in the studio this year.
