I'm an
Individual
Are you or your child coming home with assignments to write papers and essays, but you just don't know where to begin? Is every paper coming back with the same corrections, such as poor thesis statements, disorganized structure, grammatical errors, not answering the prompt, weak introductions/conclusions? You might be feeling like you can't improve, or that you can't help your child because you don't know the content being taught in the class, or you haven't read the book, or maybe because you haven't written a paper in X amount of years. You also might be asking yourself, "Why isn't the school TEACHING how to fix these recurring writing issues?" The school may not be providing the necessary one-on-one guidance to become a confident, independent writer. But I can, and I am here to help. While attending the University of Hartford, I tutored professionally at the Center for Reading and Writing. I tutored a wide range of students, from international students to graduate students, to strategically improve their writing skills and gain independence as writers. I allow my students to come to each session with whatever they are currently working on in school. Whether it be a prompt for a paper that they have not yet begun, a paper that is already written, or an essay that is half way done, we will work through it together. My goal is for the student to leave each session feeling more confident, more accomplished, and less anxious. Writing papers doesn't have to be stressful and scary, and I will help make sure you're never feeling that way. My sessions are not an editing service. Any editing that is done on papers will be guided with explanation, instruction, and the student will practice the editing techniques to demonstrate that the corrections have been learned, and not just applied to a single sentence or element of the paper. I also create a file for each student to track what's been accomplished in each session, levels of improvement, and evaluation. Let's get started!
