Find Your Writing Tutor

Tutoring in all aspects of writing: essays, paragraphs, ESL, creative writing, literature, test prep, grammar, college application essays, and more.

I have taught over twenty students from kindergarten through college graduates and foreign students. My teaching covers all language arts skills including casual writing, essays, formal writing, research papers, as well as vocabulary, spelling, sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, etc.

Let me show you how successful you or your child can be!

Writing, whether it is creative or for essays and/or research, has structure to it - We will discuss the structure of what writing needs to be done, as well as the best way to go about doing it.

It is my grasp of foreign languages that makes me an effective English teacher. For instance, learning the complex grammar of Latin and Greek gave me a thorough understanding of English grammar and the ability to relate to other people’s native languages. I have spent many hours proofreading papers for international students. They find my instruction especially informative because I not only fix mistakes but provide an explanation. When I point out the patterns of grammar, similar mistakes show up less and less, and my students feel more confident that they are writing sentences correctly.

I learned English teaching methods through my tutoring experience. Over a span of four months, I gave a Turkish visiting scholar a systematic overview of English grammar and allowed him to apply it through conversation.

As a former Journalism student, writing has been the number one way I learned to communicate both academically and professionally. It's important to be able to distill highly technical information into language anyone can read, and not only can read, but enjoys reading. I had three mentors in the past who helped hone my writing skills, and I love applying what I learned from them with my own students today.

I have loved writing stories from a young age and have since fine-tuned my skills through USC's Thematic Option Honors Writing program. From creative writing to analytical research papers, I have been published and even presented my writing at a conference. I have ample practice editing others' papers, and I will make sure your personal voice shines in your writing!
