"If you need support in writing, I'm your girl! I'm a seasoned tutor with nearly a decade of experience, back on Wyzant after a long time away from the site. I graduated from a highly ranked liberal arts college with both general and departmental honors. I began tutoring at my college’s writing center, where I consulted on hundreds of undergraduate papers and was ultimately promoted to head tutor. In the years since, I've served as the lead teacher of a Sylvan Learning center, designed curricula and taught courses for a boutique after-school enrichment program, and assessed thousands of student essays during my time at The Writing Revolution, an education nonprofit based here in New York.
Regardless of what I'm teaching, my aim is the same: to empower each student with the capability, drive, and confidence to conquer their learning goals. School is a drag if you don't care about the work; I partner with students in exploring their personal answer to the question, "Why bother?"
I work with writers of all ages and experiences, from elementary schoolers to PhD candidates. When we first meet, the student and I have a conversation about goals and interests, allowing me to tailor my approach. I will never complete an assignment for a student. I'm happy to proofread, but I'm even happier to help nail a killer thesis and lock down a logical structure. Students leave each session more prepared to tackle their current project and those to come.
If you're interested in working with me or have any questions, please reach out. **I can help at any stage in the writing process, but early interventions during brainstorming or outlining prevent the most frustration.**
A final note: everyone deserves access to educational resources. If my rate is out of your budget, let me know—we can likely figure out a payment plan that works for all involved." less...
