About
Tanya Banerjee is an educator and multi-genre writer passionate about helping students learn and grow during their writing journeys. She strongly believes that learning is a two-way street–in every interaction, she learns something from her students as much as they might learn something from her. As a writing coach, Tanya strives to approach every student and their work with a mindset of support, empathy, and kindness, while also hoping to spark excitement and curiosity.
In teaching, she has experience working as a college English instructor, university graduate teaching assistant, and a university writing tutor. Tanya has studied in Canada, the U.K., and the U.S., and she holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia, an MA in Prose Fiction from the University of East Anglia, and a BA in Communication and Psychology from Rutgers University–New Brunswick.
In her free time, Tanya enjoys writing, making and listening to music, reading, and drinking mochas, often simultaneously, at a café.
