I am a first-year medical student. I am extremely passionate about helping high school students craft meaningful and outstanding personal statements.

My goal is to help students write essays that will stand out to the admissions officers of their dream school.

Certified Essay Editing Tutor
Will
BA Boston University
1+ Years Tutoring

Good editing goes beyond catching comma splices — it means tightening an argument, cutting redundancy, and making sure each paragraph earns its place. Will reads drafts with an eye toward clarity and logical flow, flagging spots where the reasoning jumps or the evidence doesn't quite support the claim. His background in psychology research writing taught him to be precise, and he brings that same discipline to student essays across subjects.

Megan
Current Grad Student, Applied Linguistics Boston University
10+ Years Tutoring

Editing an essay isn't just hunting for comma splices — it's asking whether each paragraph earns its place in the argument. Megan's linguistics training at BU makes her especially sharp at identifying where transitions break down, where claims need stronger evidence, and where a sentence buries its own point. She teaches students to revise with purpose, not just polish.

Sharon
BA Wellesley College
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising senior at Wellesley College majoring in Music and American Studies. During my first year at college, I started tutoring students in grades K-12 at the Mathnasium center in Wellesley, MA. The following two years, I tutored my peers taking courses in American Popular Music, Jazz Music Theory, and Jazz History. Over the past two years, I've developed a passion for helping students pursue writing and research topics that reflect their identities and personal histories. By framing education as a lens through which to perceive themselves, students have been infinitely more engaged. I'm most passionate in tutoring topics related to music history, but interestedly, I've come to deeply appreciate and value writing, research, and analysis skills. Outside of the classroom, I play alto saxophone in a couple of jazz groups, read graphic novels, bake, knit/crochet, and am learning to skate on a longboard!

Stephen
BA University
10+ Years Tutoring

Good editing goes beyond fixing commas — it means evaluating whether each paragraph earns its place in the argument. Stephen reads student drafts with an eye for structural logic first, checking that claims are supported and transitions are doing real work, before moving into sentence-level revisions for clarity and style.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Liz
MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Essay editing tutoring focuses on helping you strengthen your writing at every stage—from developing a clear thesis and organizing your arguments to refining sentence-level clarity and grammar. Tutors work with you on structure, argumentation, voice development, and citation formatting (MLA, APA, Chicago style), ensuring your essays are both compelling and technically sound.

Your first session is about understanding your writing goals and challenges. A tutor will likely review a recent essay or writing sample, ask about the assignments you're working on, and identify specific areas to focus on—whether that's thesis clarity, organization, argumentation, or grammar. This helps create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

Yes. Writer's block is a common challenge, and tutors can help you work through it by breaking down the writing process into manageable steps. They can guide you through brainstorming, outlining, and drafting strategies that make it easier to get words on the page, then focus on editing and refining once you have content to work with.

A tutor can teach you essay structure techniques—like creating strong topic sentences, building logical transitions, and ensuring each paragraph supports your thesis. They'll help you see how ideas flow together and identify gaps in your argument, making your essays easier for readers to follow and more persuasive overall.

Grammar focuses on correctness—spelling, punctuation, verb tense, and sentence structure. Style is about how you express ideas—word choice, sentence variety, tone, and voice. Both matter. A tutor helps you master grammar rules while also developing your unique writing voice and making stylistic choices that strengthen your message.

Absolutely. Whether you're learning MLA, APA, or Chicago style, a tutor can teach you proper citation formatting and help you understand when and how to cite sources. They'll ensure your in-text citations and works cited pages are correct, and explain the reasoning behind citation rules so you can apply them confidently to any assignment.

Yes. Literary analysis requires both strong writing skills and careful reading comprehension. Tutors can help you develop a compelling argument about a text, support it with relevant evidence and quotes, and articulate your interpretation clearly. They work with you on both understanding the literature and expressing your analysis persuasively.
