I am a former university writing professor (11 years) and academic coach available for private, one-on-one writing/reading support.

Most of my clients are high school and university students, but I also assist professionals.

I live in the Philadelphia region but prefer to conduct sessions over Zoom, regardless of student location.

• Highly personalized, holistic approach

• Customized plans available for all levels: foundational to advanced, children to adults

• Prepared to focus on current coursework/projects or provide supplemental instruction

• Offer high school and college support services

What kind of difference can a private tutor make in the life of my child?

Private tutoring has been proven to have a significant impact on a student’s academic performance and intellectual development. Studies in the U.S. and around the world have found that private, one-on-one attention is by far the most effective form of intervention to improve student performance.

Private writing tutors can be a huge advantage for:

• Highly motivated students
  
• Those requiring special attention and extra encouragement
  
• Everyone in between

What kind of outcomes can I expect?

One-on-one writing tutors have the ability to:

• Unblock potential
• Diminish apprehension
• Build confidence
• Raise grades and GPA
• Sharpen critical thinking skills and analytical abilities
  
• Strengthen expressive and creative abilities
• Improve communication skills
• Reinforce material taught in class
• Fill in material missed in class
• Increase academic competence across the curriculum
• Prepare students for the next stages of their academic and professional careers
