Dr. Judith Benchimol, PhD
Writing Coach | Consultant
With a PhD from Columbia University and over a decade of experience teaching academic and creative writing in New York, I am passionate about helping my clients succeed. I use a holistic, student-centered approach to empower my students to build writing self-efficacy and find their unique voice. Whether you're tackling organizational skills, college essays, writing a research paper, or just struggling to get words on the page, I strive to make the writing process both manageable and - dare I say - enjoyable!

About Me
I’m Judith, an educator, writer, and coach who helps people approach writing with curiosity instead of fear. My work is rooted in play, patience, and the belief that storytelling in all its forms—whether academic, personal, or creative—can open new ways of seeing and saying. I create spaces where vulnerability feels welcome, and where every draft is an invitation to discover something new.
