Between coaching college essays, editing student writing, and building English curricula professionally, Elena lives inside the questions that define this subject: how do you construct an argument, how do you read a text closely, and how do you write something someone actually wants to read? She brings a First Class Honors background from McGill and Edinburgh to bear on everything from paragraph structure to literary analysis. Her secret weapon is humor — she genuinely believes that a well-timed joke about a bad sci-fi movie can unlock a student's thinking faster than another worksheet.

Most people don't associate engineering degrees with strong English skills, but Dillon's career pivot into teaching — plus his work coaching college essays — proves otherwise. He breaks reading comprehension into analytical steps: identify the author's purpose, trace how evidence supports claims, and evaluate tone through word choice. His classroom teaching experience means he knows exactly where middle and high school students tend to lose the thread.

Every English assignment is ultimately an argument, and Jera's legal training sharpened her ability to teach students how to construct one — selecting textual evidence, building a thesis that actually says something, and organizing paragraphs so each one advances the claim. Her background running writing support for law students means she can adapt quickly whether the task is a literary analysis, a personal narrative, or a timed AP essay.

Reading and writing are among Michael's longtime hobbies, and he brings a structured, analytical mindset to English that students with a more technical bent often find refreshing. He unpacks essay organization and close reading by teaching students to identify an author's argument the way you'd trace logic through a piece of code — one claim at a time.

Trace's linguistics training at Ohio State — where he graduated summa cum laude — gives him an unusually precise understanding of how English actually works, from sentence-level grammar to the larger structures that hold an argument together. That analytical rigor, sharpened further through legal writing at Cornell, means he can pinpoint exactly why a paragraph isn't landing or where a thesis loses its thread. Whether the goal is stronger essays, sharper reading comprehension, or clearer prose, he breaks English skills into concrete, learnable moves.

Three years of teaching English/Language Arts to 5th–8th graders gave Michelle a sharp eye for the skills that trip students up most — subject-verb agreement in complex sentences, paragraph organization, and building arguments with textual evidence. Her classroom background means she knows how to break grammar and writing concepts into steps that actually click, not just assign worksheets and hope for the best.

Karen's English Literature degree sharpened her ability to break down everything from thesis construction to close reading of complex texts — skills she now brings to grammar, essay structure, and literary analysis across grade levels. She treats writing as a process of revision and discovery, walking students through how to move from a rough idea to a polished, well-argued piece. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a recent graduate with a master's in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University. I won the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship which covers full tuition up to Ph.D. I was on the Dean's List for three consecutive years. Additionally, I won the OZY Media Genius Award in 2015 to work on high-temperature superconductors. I currently work as a Technology Analyst at Accenture. I am also seriously considering whether I should go for a Ph.D. or not.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Strong reading comprehension and clear written arguments are skills Ishaan sharpens across multiple contexts, from SAT verbal passages to college essay drafts to MCAT critical reasoning sections. He teaches students to identify an author's central claim and trace how evidence supports it — a technique that transfers directly to literature analysis, timed exams, and persuasive writing alike.

Chemical engineering reports demand ruthless clarity — every sentence has to convey exactly one idea with zero ambiguity, and Seung trained in that discipline throughout his degree. He applies that same precision to grammar mechanics and essay structure, breaking down how sentences actually work so students can diagnose their own writing errors. His reading and writing background outside engineering gives him range across literature and composition as well.

Most students don't struggle with English because they can't read — they struggle because nobody taught them how to build an argument on a page. Nikolas, a four-time OSU Scholar Athlete who sharpened his writing across heavy pre-med and education coursework, walks through essay structure, thesis development, and textual analysis with a directness that keeps sessions productive rather than vague.

Strong English skills come down to two things: reading critically and writing clearly. Olivia tackles both by teaching students how to identify an author's argument, pull supporting evidence from a text, and organize their own ideas into essays with real structure — thesis, reasoning, and transitions that actually connect paragraphs.

Because Nora studied language itself as a discipline — not just literature — she approaches English with attention to how reading comprehension, writing clarity, and vocabulary development reinforce each other. Her multilingual background (Chinese, Dutch, English) sharpens her ability to unpack tricky passages and teach students to build arguments that say exactly what they mean.

Reading dense scientific literature throughout college trained Nathan to dissect complex texts quickly — identifying an author's argument, evaluating evidence, and distinguishing main ideas from supporting detail. He applies that same analytical approach to English, teaching students how to annotate effectively, structure a clear thesis, and revise their own writing with a critical eye.

Between his science-heavy undergraduate work and his nursing master's, Jonathan has written everything from lab reports to reflective clinical essays, giving him a practical grasp of how to structure arguments and support claims with evidence. He's especially effective at teaching students how to move from a rough thesis to a coherent draft — outlining, integrating textual evidence, and revising for clarity. His 34 ACT composite also means he knows the English and Reading sections inside out.

I am always willing to help and I will try my best to help students who desire further understanding of the subject at hand.

Reading dense research papers throughout his biochemistry program sharpened Emeric's ability to dissect complex texts for argument, tone, and evidence — skills that transfer directly to literary analysis and close reading. He teaches students to annotate strategically and build thesis-driven responses that go beyond plot summary.

Between writing college essays and editing academic papers at Ohio State, John developed a sharp eye for argument structure and clarity. He teaches English with an emphasis on building a thesis that actually says something and supporting it with textual evidence that does real analytical work. His experience across literature and essay editing means he can address both the reading-comprehension side and the writing side in the same session.

Between writing college-level research papers and crafting her own successful application essays, Cassidy knows how to read closely and argue clearly — two skills at the heart of every English class. She digs into thesis development, textual evidence, and paragraph structure, teaching students to build essays that say something specific rather than something vague.

An economics degree might seem unrelated to English, but it taught Kathryn how to build an argument from evidence — exactly the skill students need when analyzing a text or writing a thesis statement. She digs into close reading techniques and paragraph-level organization, giving students a repeatable framework for tackling any passage or prompt they encounter.

Between devouring books on history, philosophy, economics, and science, Luke reads more broadly than most English tutors — and that range shows up when he teaches literary analysis and close reading. He's particularly good at showing students how to build an argument around a text, moving from a vague impression to a thesis backed by specific evidence.

An avid reader and writer himself, Sean approaches English by connecting close reading skills to stronger written arguments. He teaches students to identify an author's rhetorical choices — tone shifts, imagery patterns, narrative structure — and then articulate those observations in clear, well-organized essays.
