"Hi! My name is Gloria.

I have over a decade of experience teaching writing at the college level.

And, I keep at it because it is fulfilling to see students gain greater appreciation for the English language, become more critical thinkers, readers, and writers, gain confidence in addressing various audiences and topics, tap into their curiosity and imagination genes, and, yes, also see their grades improve.

I provide the following services:

* one time editing of high school, college, or university essay assignments

* writing assistance on school essays - from brainstorming to final draft

* college admissions personal statement/insight questions feedback and guidance

* AP English Language and AP English Literature free response tutoring (including synthesis, rhetorical analysis, argument, and literary analyses)

I welcome papers from any class; they do not have to be just from English class. However, you will need to be sure to have the assignment prompt with you. It allows me to determine if your essay is on topic. Also, if a certain text needs to be used to write your essay, you will need to have it with you when we meet.

Everyone deserves to feel their minds blown by the excitement of getting what it means to think, read, and write critically, which is what is being asked of you in all the above essays.

This means you do not have to be in AP English or in college to see me. If you really want to see your writing improve exponentially, #1 visualize that motivated attitude and then #2 contact me. Together we can work to bring out your best writer.

NOTE: Please be sure to maintain an active Wyzant account as I only tutor via this system for the ease and security it provides you and me. Thanks.

P.S. If you or your child has no true interest in learning or taking any feedback I provide, do not contact me. Find another tutor.

For all else, I look forward to hearing from you and helping you succeed in your English language studies." less...
