Tutoring writing and reading English from elementary to grad school. Specialize in college application and scholarship essays. I insist that you answer the prompt for essays; please be ready to do so :-). I also tutor SAT & ACT Reading & Writing. Much success in this area. ESL Tutoring at any level, too.

Testimonials from past students: A. Wucherer, recipient of top scholarship at NC State University, the Park scholarship. I helped with her scholarship essay - "While writing college essays is a deeply personal and challenging experience, I immediately felt at ease working with Scott. Uplifting my humorous narrative voice, he helped me drive home core themes, make new connections, and build my confidence as a writer and applicant. The encouragement through multiple drafts, times for intentional reflection, and shedding the concept of what my essay "should" be allowed me to share my experiences and personality. Scott's validation, support, and ability to bring the best out of students (even those of us who claim to have minimal writing skill), allowed me to authentically tackle the college application process. "

Another student - R. Goldin, who I helped write scholarship essays: Scott was such an incredible tutor for to my college essays, especially during the pandemic when my senior class had no assistance in being guided through our college essays. Scott took initiative and helped me out tremendously. Not only did he help me get into the university that I attend currently (Clemson), but also four other colleges. I don’t think I would be here without him, he’s truly the greatest! :)" less...
