"Hello! My name is Bella and I'm a recent graduate with a BA in English from UC Berkeley. Armed with a lifelong passion for the written word, I hope to spread the joys of literature by helping students to unlock the limitless realm of creative possibilities. This is accomplished through tutoring that speaks to the individual, providing each student with unique tools to facilitate their writing process. I have extensive experience writing and editing academic papers, speeches, fiction, poetry, and more. Whether you or your student need a quick grammar refresher or detailed assistance with college applications, my enthusiasm and expertise will aid you in reaching your goals.

Having received a 5 on the AP English Literature exam and a 4 on the AP English Language exam, I am qualified to assist in test prep as well as general tutoring for these courses throughout the academic year. More recently, my perfect grades in every English course I took at Cal exemplify my current knowledge and extensive skill set. My approach to essay writing is both comprehensive and tailored to the individual. The arsenal of techniques I have accumulated over the years allows me to assess each student's strengths and identify which skills need refinement. Using this model, I am able to determine which writing methods and timelines will best suit your personal needs. This approach is applicable at all skill levels, including but not limited to: Primary education (spelling, grammar, introductory essay writing), Lower and upper secondary education (intermediate-advanced essay writing, literature tutoring, AP exam prep), and Undergraduate applications (Common App Essay, UC Essays/PIQs, transfer essays, interview prep)." less...
