    About Yael O.

    I’m an experienced, enthusiastic English tutor and writing coach who is dedicated to helping students reach their goals! I know the thrill of getting that top grade, high test score, or acceptance letter to your first-choice school, so let me help you achieve more than you think you even can. Whether you struggle with basic grammar concepts or just want to give your essay that bit of edge to make it stand out to teachers and admissions boards - I'm here to help! My teaching philosophy involves recognizing that students have different learning styles and that approaching challenges from multiple perspectives gives students the best chance of finding out which methods best support their learning. In addition to working on any specific goals or assignments, I like to set students up for future success by teaching them tools they can apply to any academic or creative writing project that may be up ahead. Let’s give it a try!
