I’ve been tutoring since 2004.
I help students master English writing and produce academic work with clear arguments, coherent structure, and precise language.
Essay Writing Support
One-on-One Essay Writing Tutoring
As an essay writing tutor, I help students take control of their essays and academic writing.
Sessions are tailored to your course, your instructor’s expectations, and your specific draft or outline.
We focus on:
- understanding the assignment question
- clarifying the central thesis and supporting arguments
- identifying anything irrelevant or distracting
The goal is not short-term fixes, but building a durable and reusable skill.
Essay Structure & Organization
Weak essays usually fail at the structural level. I help students understand and design essay outlines that are coherent and cover everything the essay needs to do.
Then implementing that structure means a focused introduction, clearly purposeful body paragraphs, and a conclusion that consolidates the argument rather than repeating it.
Structure is not a formula. It’s a framework for thinking.
Editing, Feedback, and Revision
I provide detailed editorial feedback aimed at clarity and coherence. Feedback targets:
- unclear or unsupported claims
- weak paragraph focus
- vagueness and redundancy
- sentence-level grammar issues that obscure meaning
Grammar & Language Skills
Grammar Coaching
As a grammar coach, I help you apply grammar as a tool to make your writing precise, readable, and authoritative.
We focus on the structures that shape meaning: sentence construction, punctuation for emphasis, and syntactic clarity. The aim is to ensure your ideas are expressed exactly as you intend.
Most writers operate without fully noticing the rules of their language. Gaining conscious control over grammar gives you confidence and authority in your writing.
English Language Coaching
In English coaching, we go beyond grammar to explore how language works in context: word choice, nuance, tone, and even etymology and language history. Understanding these layers helps you craft sentences that are not just correct, but precise, elegant, and persuasive.
Instruction is embedded directly in your writing. Every lesson ties back to your actual writing projects, so you improve your voice while mastering the mechanics and richness of English.
Academic Coaching
Academic coaching focuses on how students approach academic work more broadly:
- planning research
- managing longer projects
- interpreting course expectations and feedback
- developing sustainable and effective study habits
The goal is to build independence, judgment, and confidence across courses, not just improve a single assignment.
This is especially useful for students juggling multiple courses, higher workloads, or unfamiliar academic situations.
