"Hello, I’m Anne! I earned a B.A. in English magna cum laude as well as a law degree with honors.
Before going to law school, I taught English at a top-ranked high school. I've graded hundreds of essays and research papers, and I know what works. In law school, I was at the top of my class, not because I was smarter than other students, but because I understood how to organize and express ideas effectively in examinations and essays.
After retiring from my legal career, I've returned to teaching, which I love. I’ve coached students working on master's theses and doctoral dissertations. I've also worked with high school students and middle school kids.
Usually, we sit together at a computer and work through the topic. I’ve shown students how to turn a pile of research into an organized paper that their teachers will enjoy reading.
ESL: I’ve taught English as a second language and am familiar with TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language). Because I've traveled widely, I know what it feels like to need better skills in a new language! I've tutored students from China, Cambodia, South Korea, Vietnam, Pakistan, India, Ghana, and Somalia.
DOCTORAL CANDIDATES: Doctoral candidates sometimes submit draft dissertations by email. After I review the draft and mark comments regarding grammar, punctuation and style, I meet with the student to discuss and explain my comments. My fees for this service are lower per hour because these students usually need 12 to 20 hours within a short time. (Note: Wyzant requires that you approve any hours of work I do alone, not in person with you at my side.)
I prefer a clean, simple style that is easy to read. I understand that doctoral candidates sometimes prefer a more complex, sophisticated style for their dissertations, with complicated sentences and recondite wording. I can help with that, too!
ACT/SAT: Some students want coaching to raise test scores on national standardized tests. We can do that!
