"I have over 15 years of experience providing writing coaching services: assisting with brainstorming, drafting, and honing responses to high school and college writing assignments. In my doctoral research and personal coaching experience, which provides the foundation of my tutoring methods, I discovered that combining outstanding writing coaching along with organizational and motivational training provides the best results for students seeking support. Professionally, I bring over 20 years of experience working with high school and college students in communications, leadership, and educational motivation. Students who are capable, but sometimes surprise themselves in being underprepared, unmotivated, or "frozen" will thrive with effective coaching. My passion for this work is infectious and my commitment to students and families is unmatched.
Here are what some former students have said about my work: -->“JB is amazing. When I was working with him, you could tell that he really has a passion for his work. He helped me organize and articulate my otherwise jumbled thoughts into a coherent message. Throughout meeting with him I loved his energy; he made me feel comfortable doing something extremely nerve-wrecking. One of my favorite things about JB is that he’s genuine and honest- something I haven’t always gotten. When I wasn’t in contact with JB and focusing on my writing, he encouraged me to take the extra step and finish my writing instead of putting it off. Overall, I couldn’t imagine not working with JB and I wouldn’t want to. He’s such a great guy and I am very thankful for having met him.” Thomas G.– Student -->“The three words that come to mind when I think of Dr. JB are energetic, motivational, and organized. Dr. JB greatly improved my essay writing skills. I highly recommend him to students who need essay writing support!” Josa C.– Student
