Getting ideas onto the page is one challenge; organizing them into something compelling is another entirely. Sarah breaks the writing process into concrete steps — brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising — so students stop staring at blank screens and start building arguments with real structure. Her dual background in the arts and biomedical sciences means she's equally comfortable coaching a personal narrative or a research paper.

Strong writing starts with knowing what you actually want to argue, and Josh spends real time on that discovery phase before a student types a single sentence. From there, he teaches outlining, paragraph architecture, and how to integrate evidence without letting quotes do all the talking. His own writing practice spans academic research, creative fiction, and poetry.

Most students know what they want to say but struggle to organize it on the page. William tackles the full writing process — brainstorming a workable thesis, building body paragraphs around specific evidence, and revising for clarity and flow. His approach treats each draft as a thinking tool, not just a product to hand in.

From brainstorming to final draft, Crystal approaches writing as a process that looks different for every student. Some need structure — outlines, topic sentences, paragraph mapping — while others need permission to write messily first and organize later. Her background in English Education and ESL gives her a toolkit for both, whether the assignment is a personal narrative or an argumentative research paper.

Between art history research papers, music program applications, and SAT prep, Elana writes across a wide range of formats — and she brings that versatility to her teaching. She digs into the specific stage where a student gets stuck, whether that's generating a thesis from a vague prompt, organizing body paragraphs with clear topic sentences, or revising for voice and precision. Rated 5.0 by students.

The hardest part of writing is usually the thinking underneath it — figuring out what you're actually trying to argue before you can say it clearly. Samuel breaks the writing process into manageable stages, from brainstorming a defensible thesis to organizing evidence to revising for clarity and voice. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that structured approach clicks with students.

From undergraduate essays at Virginia Tech to a master's dissertation at the University of Edinburgh, Trudy has lived inside the writing process at every level. She teaches students to build arguments that move — clarifying thesis statements, tightening paragraph structure, and choosing precise language — whether the assignment is a personal narrative, a persuasive piece, or a research paper.

Getting ideas out of your head and onto the page in a way that's clear, organized, and actually sounds like you — that's the hard part. McKenna breaks the writing process into manageable steps, from brainstorming and outlining through drafting and revision, and she teaches across enough subjects (literature, history, college essays) to adapt her approach to whatever the assignment demands.

I am able to create short-cuts, tricks, and other useful methods that students love because I, myself, am a student. Therefore, I can relate well with all my students. Since my experiences range far and wide, I am confident that I can provide the best services as a tutor in my subject areas.

I am not tutoring, I enjoy skiing, camping, playing basketball and listening to music.

I'm an Economics major at Vassar College who has tutored peers and children for four years, and have learned as much from teaching as those I've taught. In my experience it is easiest for a student to learn when their teacher engages with them directly and adapts their way of teaching to the learning style and interests of the student. This has always been how I have learned most effectively as a student, and is how I attempt to instill knowledge as a teacher.

I'm currently a college freshman. Some of my favorite subjects are philosophy, economics, and physics, but I tend to enjoy learning and teaching most everything, as all subjects are integral to understanding the world. I'm happy to help students in any way they might need, however I specialize in the ACT.
