College Essay Coaching
The college can be overwhelming—but your essay doesn’t have to be. I’ll guide you through every step of the process:
- Brainstorming strong, authentic topics that highlight your voice
- Outlining your ideas to build a clear and engaging structure
- Reviewing and organizing research if your essay requires it
- Editing and revising with detailed feedback that you can actually use
- Polishing your final draft so that it’s ready to submit
I offer tutoring in essay writing for humanities and social sciences classes such as English, theatre, psychology, etc. I can also help you write a college admission essay that is personal and really shows the college admission officials who you are.
AP English Language and Composition Test Prep
If you’re preparing for the AP English Language exam, I can help you demystify the Free Response Questions (FRQs) and improve your performance through targeted practice and feedback. Here’s how I can support you:
- Understanding the FRQ rubrics so you know exactly what the scorers are looking for
- Practicing essay writing with prompts modeled after the exam
- Receiving individualized feedback that pinpoints your strengths and areas for growth
- Building strategies to help you write with precision, insight, and confidence
How It Works
- All 30 minute sessions are held over Zoom—learn from the comfort of your own home.
- I accept Venmo or PayPal for easy and secure payments.
- Sessions start at $50 for a 30 minute Zoom session and detailed feedback over one essay.
- Sessions are tailored to your unique goals and needs—no cookie-cutter lessons here.
