Strong writing is really clear thinking made visible, which is why Linda's philosophy background shapes everything about how she teaches the craft. Whether the assignment is a personal narrative, a research paper, or a rhetorical analysis, she zeroes in on the gap between what a student means to argue and what their draft actually says. From there, she tackles organization, evidence, and voice — in that order.

Constructing a persuasive argument on paper is something Rachelle has done thousands of times — first as a Summa Cum Laude philosophy student dissecting ethical frameworks, then as a law school candidate crafting personal statements under intense scrutiny. She teaches students to build essays from a clear thesis outward, connecting evidence to claims in ways that hold up to critical reading.

Straddling engineering and anthropology in college forced Alex to write in two very different registers: precise technical prose and nuanced analytical argumentation. That range makes him effective whether a student is working on a five-paragraph essay, a research paper, or a persuasive piece — he teaches writers to match their structure and voice to their audience and purpose.

Three years of teaching at a Kumon Reading Center gave Megan a sharp eye for how sentences build into paragraphs and how paragraphs build into arguments. She breaks down the writing process — thesis development, evidence integration, transitions — into concrete steps that make even intimidating essays feel manageable. Her own love of writing and reading keeps her feedback grounded in what makes prose actually compelling.

Getting ideas out of your head and onto the page in a way that makes sense to a reader is its own skill, separate from knowing the material. Thara breaks the writing process into concrete steps — brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising — so students stop staring at blank screens and start producing work they're genuinely proud of.

Before a single word hits the page, Tracey has students talk through what they're really trying to say — a step most young writers skip. From there she teaches outlining, drafting, and revising as distinct phases, whether the assignment is a personal narrative, a research paper, or a timed persuasive essay. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that process clicks.

Every writing assignment is really two tasks: figuring out what you think, then organizing it so a reader can follow. Jared tackles both, spending time on thesis development and outlining before a single full draft gets written. His training in Romance Languages sharpened his attention to word choice and register, skills he now applies to everything from argumentative essays to creative pieces.

Good writing is really rewriting — and Wallace treats every draft as raw material to be shaped, not a finished product to be polished. His philosophy training at Williams College sharpened his ability to construct clear arguments, and he walks students through the full process from brainstorming and outlining to crafting thesis-driven paragraphs with concrete evidence.

Years of academic publishing taught Cameron that strong writing isn't about flowery language — it's about structure, specificity, and knowing your audience. He breaks down the drafting process into concrete steps: building an outline from a central claim, selecting evidence that actually supports it, and revising for voice and coherence. His background as both a scientist and an avid writer gives him range across analytical and creative assignments.

Getting ideas onto the page is often the hardest part, and Maurice addresses that block head-on by teaching concrete prewriting strategies — outlining, freewriting, and claim-mapping — before a student types a single sentence. His Special Education background means he's especially skilled at adapting the writing process for students who think differently or struggle with organization.

Isabel earned her bachelor's in Creative Writing, which means she's logged thousands of hours crafting prose across genres — from personal narratives to analytical essays to experimental fiction. She teaches students how to build a piece from a rough idea through outlining, drafting, and revision, with particular attention to developing a clear, authentic voice.

Getting ideas out of your head and onto the page in a structured, compelling way is a skill most students never get explicitly taught. Teresa breaks the writing process into concrete steps — brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising — and shows students how to develop a thesis that actually drives a piece forward rather than just restating the prompt.

Clear writing is a daily requirement in Emeka's architecture and engineering work, where a misunderstood proposal can derail an entire project. He applies that same demand for clarity to student writing, teaching how to build an argument with a logical structure — strong topic sentences, evidence that actually supports the claim, and conclusions that do more than repeat the introduction.

Mladen treats writing as an act of persuasion, a skill he sharpened through years of legal writing during his Juris Doctor program. Whether a student is crafting a personal narrative or a research paper, he breaks down the drafting process into concrete steps — claim, evidence, analysis — so the blank page feels less intimidating.

I am currently in the process of applying to Law School. I have tutored middle school and high school students in subjects ranging from 5th grade reading to geometry to the SAT. While I am happy and able to tutor a number of subjects, I am most passionate about Test Prep because these scores are very important to students, and I enjoy helping them to conquer the test and succeed. My teaching philosophy can be described as a coaching style in which, like athletics, I believe learning the subject matter, good techniques, and constant practice are the best ways to achieving better scores.

I'm Liz! I'm so excited to help my students reach their academic goals. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Government and Performance and Communication Arts, and a Master's Degree in Chinese Politics. With a long academic career and lots of experience with standardized tests, I'm ready help prepare my students for their next steps and help them succeed and build confidence where they are now. I can't wait to meet you!

I am a graduate of the Creighton University School of Medicine where I received my M.D. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Philosophy at Marquette University in 2018. During my time at Marquette, I tutored General Biology and General Chemistry, and I was a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry lab. Not only did I enjoy teaching students my age, but I also pursued teaching opportunities for younger students in high school and middle school. I was a gross anatomy instructor for high school students taking tours through the cadaver labs and I was one of the founders of the Marquette Brain Brigade, where a group of undergraduate students came up with demos/lessons in neuroscience to teach middle school students. Moreover, I sought out private tutoring opportunities at a company called Huntington Learning Center both during undergrad and during medical school where I tutored a wide variety of subjects, including ACT/SAT, for virtually all age groups. I am very comfortable teaching various subjects and ages, and I am a laid back and flexible person. The subjects I am most comfortable teaching would be the sciences anywhere from the basic level to graduate school level. I am so grateful for the educators that allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor, and I would love to pass it on and help younger students achieve their goals.

I am a rising 2L working towards my law degree at Arizona State. I specialize in helping students with Reading and Writing skills. My focus is on creating study habits and techniques that are tailored towards a student's learning style and ability. I'm here to help students succeed in any way that I can by using my own academic experiences. Outside of the classroom, I love sports, hiking, and travel.

I am looking at their work 'from the outside' and can therefore see where they have improved whereas the student might see their struggles more clearly than their progress. I also believe and emphasize that learning is an ongoing process, and academic skills don't come naturally to most people - they are skills which require practice over time. With a subject like Spanish, I try to relate to the student's struggles by talking about issues that I found difficult as well.

I am a senior at ASU, majoring in Applied Biological Sciences with a concentration in Secondary Education in Biology. After I graduate in December, I hope to work as a high school biology teacher. My passion for biology developed in high school and I want to pass that love on to today's high school students.

I'm a rising sophomore at Georgia Institute of Technology. I love teaching and got a lot of practice from tutoring my brother. Physics is probably my favorite subject to teach.

I'm very passionate about helping students in their fundamental knowledge in the subjects I am qualified for and for standardized testing. Outside of school, I am also a volunteer ESL tutor for refugee kids!

Most students can write a grammatically correct sentence but freeze when asked to sustain an argument across five paragraphs. Catherine breaks the writing process into concrete, repeatable steps — claim construction, evidence selection, transition logic, counterargument integration — so students stop staring at blank screens. Her experience teaching everything from expository essays to creative writing to SAT prep means she adapts her approach depending on what the assignment actually demands.
