Award-Winning English Tutors
serving Baton Rouge, LA

I am a rising second-year Honors student at the University of Florida, majoring in Health Science on the pre-medicine track. Through competitive academic programs, tutoring, and leadership experiences, I have learned how to explain complex concepts in ways that are engaging and easy to understand. Throughout my childhood, I competed in various spelling bees, including the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where I developed a deep appreciation for language, word origins, and effective communication. Later, I discovered HOSA's Medical Spelling competition, which perfectly combined my love for orthography with my growing passion for science and healthcare. I spent countless hours studying Taber's Medical Dictionary and organizing medical terminology into detailed study systems, further strengthening both my academic discipline and interest in medicine. My tutoring experience began with helping younger students prepare for spelling competitions before expan

Reading comprehension and writing reinforce each other, and Robin tackles both by connecting what students read to how they express their own ideas on the page. Her experience teaching college essays, literature, and elementary through high school English means she adjusts naturally to each learner's level — whether that's paragraph structure for a younger student or thesis development for an older one.

Daniel's tutoring test for mastery is simple but effective: if a student can't explain a concept back as though they're the teacher, the work isn't done yet. That approach applies especially well to English grammar and syntax, where understanding *why* a comma splice breaks a sentence matters more than just memorizing the fix. His finance coursework keeps his own writing sharp — clear, concise, and structured around an argument.

I am an educator of the sciences. I have taught Life Science, Biology, Physical and Earth Sciences for fourteen years in grades 7-12. I trained with the Keystone Science School of Denver, Colorado, the LSU Coastal Roots Program and have earned over six hundred hours in science literacy training in many areas. Science has a very strong mathematical component and that is why I also specialize in Math tutoring.

I am a dedicated tutor with a genuine passion for helping students to improve their grades and fall in love with learning. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and my greatest joy comes from helping them discover their own strength and confidence. I am here to provide a supportive, patient, and encouraging space for growth.

My life's work has been and continues to be assisting students in building confidence while exploring the wonders of language and mathematics. Whether it be Algebra, ACT preparation, or English for non-native speakers, I have enjoyed my 20+ years working with students both in the U.S. and abroad (China & India). I have tutored students as young as Pre-K, but most of my experience lies with high school, university & adult students. For those seeking assistance with the ACT, I have several years of experience tutoring all subjects - content & strategies. With the changes in the ACT last year (science optional, shorter subject tests with differing times), I decided to take the new Enhanced ACT with hundreds of high school students to gain first-hand experience with how the alterations might affect test strategy and gauge any changes in content. My split focus affected the science score most (:D), but I look forward to sharing my newly gained insights with my students.

Teaching English composition and literature at the college level every day means Jennifer spots patterns in how students struggle with close reading, thesis construction, and evidence integration. Her theater background also gives her sessions an energy that keeps grammar drills and essay revisions from feeling like a grind — she's the rare English tutor who makes diagramming an argument genuinely engaging.

I'm an experienced educator and instructional leader with over a decade of experience in the humanities (English Language Arts + Social Studies), curriculum development, and school leadership. I believe in meeting students where they are, breaking challenging skills into manageable steps, and building confidence and independence. I'm passionate about helping students grow as readers, writers, and thinkers while discovering what they're truly capable of.

Between IB Literature HL, college essay coaching, and his own love of reading and writing, Ben brings a genuine literary sensibility to English tutoring. He's particularly strong at teaching students how to construct a thesis-driven essay — moving from close reading of a passage to a structured argument with embedded textual evidence.

A Comparative Literature degree from Columbia means Jacob spent years reading across genres, periods, and traditions, then writing arguments about how those texts work. He tackles everything from close reading and thesis development to the mechanics of crafting a paragraph that actually says something — the kind of integrated English instruction that connects analytical thinking to stronger writing.

Between literature analysis, essay writing, and SAT Reading prep, Matt covers the full range of English skills students typically need. He's particularly effective at teaching students how to build a clear argument in an essay — structuring a thesis, selecting evidence, and revising for precision — because he treats writing as a craft that improves through deliberate practice.

A semester taking literature courses alongside native Spanish speakers at Madrid's top-ranked university gave Meghan practice reading closely under pressure and constructing arguments about texts in real time. She brings that same intensity to English tutoring, whether a student is annotating a novel for theme, structuring a thesis statement, or learning to use textual evidence that does more than just summarize. She holds a 5.0 rating.

Reading closely and writing clearly are skills David sharpened through Stanford's cognitive science program, where every paper required synthesizing research across disciplines into a coherent argument. He tackles English by connecting analytical reading — identifying tone, structure, and authorial intent — directly to the writing process, so students see how strong readers become stronger writers.

Between reading classics for pleasure and writing across multiple disciplines at Harvard, Christopher brings genuine enthusiasm to English that students pick up on quickly. He digs into thesis construction, close reading, and evidence integration — the skills that separate a B essay from an A — rather than vague advice about "being more descriptive." Rated 4.8 by his students.

Between his literature background, essay editing experience, and a 1500 SAT, Daniel tackles English from multiple angles — close reading, analytical writing, and the mechanics that tie them together. He's especially effective at teaching students how to build a thesis from a text and support it with specific evidence rather than vague summary.

A science background might seem unusual for an English tutor, but Connor's years of writing lab reports, research papers, and a master's thesis at Loyola Chicago sharpened exactly the skills students struggle with most — constructing clear arguments, organizing evidence, and revising for precision. He breaks down essay structure and grammar concepts with the same logical rigor he applies to his science work, which clicks especially well for students who think analytically. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ellie genuinely enjoys her Yale literature courses and brings that enthusiasm to close reading, thesis development, and essay structure. Her editorial work across two campus magazines sharpens every session — she teaches students to read a passage for argument and craft, then translate that analysis into organized, evidence-driven writing. Rated 5.0 by students.

From annotating nineteenth-century novels to constructing a thesis around a single anthropological case study, Victoria's English tutoring draws on the full range of reading and writing she did across three undergraduate degrees. She digs into whatever a student is actually working on — whether that's unpacking symbolism in a poem or structuring a five-paragraph argument — and teaches the analytical moves that transfer across assignments.

Philosophy training at the University of Chicago means Justin spent years dissecting arguments, analyzing sentence structure, and writing with precision — skills that translate directly into English tutoring. He tackles everything from grammar mechanics and thesis construction to close reading of literary texts, teaching students how to identify an author's choices and articulate why they matter. Rated 5.0 by students.

Growing up in Malaysia and studying at Penn gave Yu a bilingual perspective on how English actually works — the grammar rules native speakers take for granted often make more sense when someone can explain *why* they exist, not just that they do. Her Master's in Education from Harvard sharpened that instinct into deliberate teaching strategy, particularly around syntax, essay structure, and developing a confident written voice.
