Andrew
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Caryn
BA University of Dallas
1+ Years Tutoring

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-

Del
BA University of Oklahoma Norman Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently fluent in English and Spanish, conversational in Italian, and I'll be tackling Mandarin next. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from the University of Oklahoma with an emphasis in Acting. I was lucky enough to attend OU on a National Merit Scholarship that covered my expenses almost entirely, so the National Merit qualification process is one that I deeply believe in and understand. Successful test taking is as much a product of understanding the test itself as it is the material being covered, and having one on one guidance in understanding how to take a test can markedly improve a score. An important part of gaining that understanding is working in the ways that each student learns best. In fact, I think that is one of the most fulfilling things about tutoring: finding the learning methods innate in each student and helping shape those instincts into tools for learning any material.

MARY
MS Emory University • BA Furman University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently Pursuing a PhD in Religious Studies at SMU. My ultimate career goal is to become a college professor, but I love working with students of all levels. I tutor Spanish, Religious Studies, SAT and GRE writing and verbal, as well as essay writing and editing. I can help with college admissions essays as well. I especially enjoy helping students with their writing. I find that the process of learning to write a clear and well-argued essay can help students become better communicators and gain confidence sharing their opinions both inside and outside of the classroom. These are skills they can use for the rest of their lives. Since I too once struggled with finding the confidence to communicate my thoughts both aloud and in writing, I am passionate about nurturing confidence in the students I work with. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading, cooking, playing the viola, and relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Writing tutors provide detailed, one-on-one feedback on your essays that goes beyond what's possible in a classroom setting. A tutor can work with you on thesis development, argument structure, and revision strategies tailored to your specific writing challenges—whether that's organization, clarity, or voice. This personalized approach helps you understand not just what to fix, but why it matters and how to apply those lessons to future writing.

Revision focuses on big-picture issues like thesis clarity, argument flow, and overall structure, while editing addresses grammar, punctuation, and word choice. Tutors help you develop a strong revision process first—ensuring your ideas are well-organized and supported—before moving to editing details. This two-step approach prevents students from getting stuck polishing sentences that might not belong in the final draft.

A strong thesis is specific, debatable, and sets up the direction of your entire essay. Tutors work with you to craft a thesis that's neither too broad nor too narrow, then help you build an argument structure that supports it with relevant evidence and analysis. They'll guide you through organizing your supporting points logically and addressing counterarguments—skills that strengthen both academic and professional writing.

Tutors can teach you the core principles behind MLA and APA formatting so you understand the 'why' behind the rules, not just memorize them. They'll show you how to properly cite sources in-text and in your bibliography, help you avoid plagiarism, and point you toward reliable tools and resources. Once you grasp the logic, formatting becomes much easier to apply across different assignments.

Writer's block often stems from unclear thinking about your topic or pressure to write perfectly on the first try. Tutors help you overcome this by breaking the writing process into manageable steps—brainstorming, outlining, drafting without judgment, then revising. They can also help you identify whether you need more time to understand your topic or simply need permission to write a messy first draft.

Literary analysis requires connecting specific textual evidence to larger themes or arguments about a work's meaning. Tutors teach you how to select relevant quotes, explain their significance, and connect them to your thesis—avoiding the trap of summarizing without analysis. They'll help you develop the critical reading skills needed to interpret literature and support your interpretations with evidence.

Grammar rules are the foundation—they ensure your writing is clear and professional. Voice is how you use language to express your ideas distinctively while following those rules. Tutors help you master grammar fundamentals, then work with you to develop a voice appropriate for different audiences and purposes, whether that's academic essays, creative writing, or professional communication.

Yes. Tutors working with Dallas students are familiar with writing standards across the district's 22 school districts and understand grade-level expectations from elementary through high school. Whether you're working on narrative essays, persuasive arguments, research papers, or AP Literature analysis, tutors can tailor their instruction to match what your school requires and help you exceed those expectations.
