Award-Winning English Tutors
serving New Orleans, LA

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Between scoring a 1440 SAT, tutoring college essays, and tackling MCAT verbal reasoning, Shayan has spent serious time dissecting how written English actually works — from close reading to argument construction. He teaches students to identify an author's central claim quickly and build their own written responses with clear, evidence-driven structure. Rated 5.0 by students.

Engineering students rarely get credit for their writing chops, but Aaron's experience with college essays, literature analysis, and essay editing gives him a practical toolkit for English tutoring. He's especially strong at teaching thesis construction and paragraph-level organization — showing students how to move from a vague idea to a focused argument with concrete textual evidence supporting each claim.

Keith's Williams College education was steeped in close reading and analytical writing across political science, history, and English — the kind of interdisciplinary background that makes him especially effective at teaching students how to build a thesis, integrate textual evidence, and revise for clarity. Whether the task is dissecting a novel's themes or structuring a persuasive essay, he connects the reading and writing sides of English into a single skill set.

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.

Between literature coursework, college essay coaching, and extensive technical writing, Zosia engages with English from multiple angles — close reading, argument construction, and revision craft. She's particularly effective at teaching students how to build a thesis that does real analytical work and then support it with textual evidence that goes beyond surface-level summary. Her writing-intensive Yale education gave her the tools to break down both fiction and nonfiction with precision.

Between her literature studies at Duke and her current master's work analyzing visual culture, Kathy reads texts the way a critic reads a painting — pulling apart structure, tone, and argument. She's particularly effective at teaching close reading and thesis development, showing students how to move from a vague reaction to a sharply supported claim.

Between his senior thesis at Harvard, his SAT Writing coaching, and his background in American literature, Henry brings a deep well of reading and writing experience to English tutoring. He's especially strong at teaching students how to build a thesis from a close reading — pulling specific textual evidence and weaving it into an argument that actually says something, rather than summarizing the plot.

Reading a poem, analyzing an argument, and drafting a clear paragraph all require the same underlying skill: paying close attention to how language creates meaning. Mimi's interdisciplinary training — art history at Dartmouth, education at Harvard — sharpened her ability to teach close reading and analytical writing as connected practices rather than separate assignments. She's particularly effective at showing students how to move from a vague reaction to a text toward a specific, evidence-backed interpretation.

Every day as a Guardian ad Litem, Emily reads dense case files, synthesizes competing accounts, and builds written arguments that hold up under scrutiny — the professional version of what English classes ask students to do with literature and essays. She teaches close reading as a skill in evidence-gathering: identifying an author's choices, tracing themes through a text, and marshaling specific passages to support an interpretation. Her curriculum development experience at a Chicago community center also shaped how she structures lessons around each student's current skill level.

NYU's Accelerated MAT program in Secondary English Education trains its residents by putting them in real classrooms daily — Jennifer is in the thick of that right now, teaching ELA to New York public school students while earning her master's. That immersion means she's constantly planning lessons around close reading, essay argumentation, and grammar instruction, and she brings that fresh, practitioner-level energy to tutoring sessions where students need to sharpen a specific skill rather than review everything at once.

Philosophy training at Princeton sharpened Julie's ability to dissect an author's argument, trace thematic development, and construct airtight written analysis — exactly the skills that define strong English coursework. She teaches students to read actively, identifying rhetorical choices and structural patterns rather than just summarizing plot. Her AP English Literature and Composition experience makes her particularly effective with close reading and essay development.

Between her psychology and linguistics degrees from UChicago, her work at literacy organization 826, and a perfect 1600 SAT, Sherry brings both analytical depth and practical teaching experience to English. She tackles everything from close reading and thesis development to grammar and syntax — connecting how language is structured to how students can wield it more effectively in their own writing.
