"As a top-rated advanced academic writing tutor, I help all students develop writing that is clear, purposeful, and intellectually engaging. My approach focuses on teaching students how writing actually works—how to shape ideas into effective arguments, structure paragraphs for clarity, and write with an awareness of audience and purpose. From idea generation through revision and polish, I guide students through a strategic, manageable process that builds both skill and confidence.
My background includes an MA in Teaching Writing, a BA in English, and extensive experience as a university writing tutor embedded in courses across multiple disciplines. This work required helping students adapt their writing to different academic contexts, genres, and expectations. I bring that same structured, research-informed approach to my tutoring by creating individualized lessons, providing targeted materials, and offering detailed, actionable feedback that students can immediately apply to their work.
Through detailed, guided feedback and one-on-one discussion, I show students how to strengthen logic, organization, and clarity while feeling confident and supported throughout the writing process. My goal is not only to improve individual assignments, but to help students become independent writers who can communicate complex ideas effectively in any setting. By combining skill, strategy, and creativity, I work with each student to fully develop their ideas and express them in a compelling, polished, and authentic voice." less...
