I am a graduate of Georgetown University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics with a concentration on Foreign Policy. I also earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies and am a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, The National Political Science Honor Society. I have experience tutoring students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg work when it comes to their learning. I believe that every student can achieve success in school; each student just learns at their own pace and in their own way. When I have free time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing a game of tennis, or participating in or watching theatrical events.

I am a seasoned educator and tutor with a Ph.D. in Literature, an M.A. in Literature, and an M.B.A. in international business. I have taught many, many students to write, read, speak, and think academically. Since 2005, I have worked taught in universities in China, Bosnia, the UAE, Afghanistan and Bahrain (teaching our troops!) and Cambodia. I recently returned to the USA. If you are feeling uncertain about your writing assignments, your English or Literature courses, public speaking, or standardized testing, I believe I can help! No one is born with the ability to read, think critically, and write an essay that will get people to stand up and take notice. These are skills that everyone must be taught to become successful, and they can be learned. Students often think they 'just aren't capable' of improving their skills, but as a professional who specializes in English and Writing, I know they are wrong. Every student, with the right motivation, systems, and tools can improve their skills. I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 20 years. As a professor, I know what steps students need to take to become better in writing, reading, literature, critical thinking, and public speaking. As a faculty member at universities and colleges for over 20 years, I know what will be expected of students both in educational settings, and in the professional world after they graduate. I love to work with students, and I have had a great deal of success in helping them to improve. I have developed proven methods to give students the help they need to write better essays, read with greater comprehension, and test more effectively. Most students tell me that I am funny, and that my lessons are far less 'painful than they expect them to be! I look forward to working with you-

Frequently Asked Questions

Essay editing tutoring goes beyond proofreading—it focuses on strengthening your argument, improving organization, developing a compelling thesis, and refining your writing voice. A tutor will work with you to identify structural issues, strengthen weak sections, and help you understand the principles behind effective writing so you can apply them to future essays.

Your first session typically involves reviewing your essay and discussing your assignment goals. From there, a tutor will provide targeted feedback on areas like thesis clarity, paragraph organization, evidence integration, and argumentation. You'll work together through revisions, learning techniques you can use independently on future writing assignments.

Many students struggle with organizing ideas into a logical flow, developing a strong thesis statement, or supporting claims with solid evidence. Others find it difficult to maintain their voice while meeting academic standards, or they're unsure how to properly integrate citations in MLA or APA format. Essay editing tutoring addresses each of these challenges with personalized strategies.

It's both, but the focus is on the bigger picture. While a tutor will address grammar errors, the real value comes from improving your essay's structure, argument strength, and overall clarity. Grammar is important, but a well-organized essay with a compelling argument is what truly makes your writing stand out to teachers and admissions officers.

Absolutely. Writer's block often stems from unclear thinking about your topic or uncertainty about how to structure your ideas. A tutor can help you brainstorm, organize your thoughts, and break the writing process into manageable steps. Many students find that talking through their ideas with someone helps unlock their writing.

Yes. Literary analysis requires strong skills in evidence selection, textual interpretation, and argumentation. Tutors can help you develop a clear analytical thesis, support your interpretations with specific examples from the text, and explain the significance of your analysis—all essential components of a strong literary essay.

Bring the essay you'd like to work on, along with any assignment guidelines or rubric from your teacher. If you're working on a new essay, bring your brainstorm notes or outline. Having the assignment context helps a tutor give you feedback that directly addresses what your teacher is looking for.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand essay writing and can provide personalized feedback on your work. You'll share your specific needs—whether it's thesis development, organization, citations, or overall revision—and get matched with someone who fits your learning style and goals.
