A summa cum laude graduate who went on to medical school, Ruth knows how to tighten an argument — whether that means restructuring a thesis statement, cutting redundant phrasing, or making transitions actually earn their place in a paragraph. She treats editing as a skill students can internalize, w...

Good editing is more than catching typos; it's about restructuring an argument so each paragraph earns its place. Martha has spent years revising dense academic manuscripts in psychology and global health, and she applies that same structural eye to student papers — tightening thesis statements, cut...

A rough draft becomes a polished essay when someone shows you where your argument drifts, where your evidence is thin, and where a sentence could land harder.

Peer tutoring at the NYU Abu Dhabi writing center means Mary edits essays from students across every discipline — economics papers, lab reports, personal narratives — on a daily basis.
