Award-Winning Private Essay Editing Tutoring in Santa Barbara, CA

During my session with the student, we worked on developing his PowerPoint presentation for his debate senior project, as well as developing his verbal argument points for his project's Q & A session.

The student worked on finishing up a character analysis paper for his Fantasy fiction class. Then, we moved on to a paper for his psychology class . He spent time brainstorming, but needed to do more research on his chosen topic in order to complete brainstorming effectively. Nevertheless, we laid out an outline for the paper.

For this session, the student and I reviewed the final written sections of her paper. She states that she needs to finish the table of contents and appendix pages and then she hopes that she is finished. We will meet one more time to go over the entire paper to ensure there are no additional editing needs.

We began by returning to the student's common application essay, which we've been working with progressively since beginning tutoring. She made several small changes since we last met, while I looked over the essay again and brought in more substantial edits. We edited parts of the existing essay, cutting out large chunks of it, then brainstormed for some time about ways to expand the content to replace the removed portions. She plans to bring in a finished draft next time, which will hopefully become her final draft. We then moved on to one of her essays for one of her chosen universities, which was closer to completion. We edited the essay line-by-line to clean it up. I believe we reached a point with that essay such that it is ready for the application.

I continue to be very impressed by your writing style and your accomplishments. Keep up the great progress and please don't be overwhelmed by the suggestions I've made. They are relatively minor comments on very solid work. I spent five hours today editing your essays - I finished going through them all except for the last supplemental one. I look forward to our meeting tomorrow at 9 p.m.

We worked on a critical reading assignment on Christopher Columbus. Some of the teacher's examples were slightly unclear, so we spent some time going over possibilities, and he will inquire further tomorrow. His attitude was very positive; he was willing and able to do the work.
