"As a tutor, I bring a proven track record of successful academic writing, a compassionate spirit, and a strong commitment to helping any student or writer find their voice and polish their prose. I have a keen sense of the mechanics of language and a knack for helping writers create a logical framework that will allow their writing to flow naturally and achieve its purpose, whether that be to inform, persuade or delight. My approach is to (kindly!) help you work through any weak spots in your writing, whether they be at the sentence level or in the overall structure, so that you can communicate effectively and elegantly. I won't write anything for you, but will gladly provide feedback on as many drafts as it takes to help you achieve your very best!

After earning straight-A's in high school and achieving a perfect score on the SAT Verbal, I attended John Carroll University on a full academic scholarship, where I completed a double major in English Literature and Classical Languages. In addition to writing dozens of successful essays during my time as an undergrad, I worked as a paid tutor in the university library, helping my peers outline and revise their essays. I also volunteered over 120 hours in local K-12 schools as a tutor and classroom assistant, helping students of all ages with literacy skills and homework/test prep.

While applying for graduate programs after college, I worked for a tutoring center where I supported students in English, History, Study Skills, SAT Verbal prep, and college entrance essays. I then went on to earn a Master's degree in English Literature from The University of Chicago. During my MA, I had the opportunity to take courses in English, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, and the well-known Little Red Schoolhouse Seminar in Academic and Professional Writing. I also wrote a Master's thesis, which was a year-long process involving extensive research, numerous drafts, and heaps of fortitude! My thesis was well-received and I graduated with honors in 2019." less...
