"For those struggling to write effective, engaging personal essays for college, scholarship, and grad school applications, I am here to help!

I also tutor in the following subjects:

Middle school - English language arts (ELA), reading, writing, math

High school - regular/AP English, world history

College - undergraduate essay writing and editing

Adult - business writing, editing, English for non-native speakers

I have been a professional business writer and editor for more than 20 years, and hold a Bachelor of Journalism degree from The University of Texas at Austin.

Knowing how to write well is a valuable skill that will help students excel in college and beyond. My goal is not only to help students master the writing process, but to actually enjoy it! My strong communication skills and genuine passion for helping others improve and succeed are what make me an effective tutor.

Learning can be stressful for a student who is falling behind, and meeting regularly can help ease that stress. I'm able to give valuable one-on-one instruction and provide that extra motivation each week to help students stay on track. Even students who are excelling in their classes stand to benefit from tutoring, as it will help them get ahead, stay challenged, and prepare for the next level.

Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to working with you!" less...
