The hardest part of writing is usually not the grammar — it's figuring out what you're actually trying to say and then organizing it so a reader can follow. Sophie tackles that structural thinking first, teaching students to outline arguments, develop claims with specific evidence, and revise with purpose. Her graduate work and years of TA feedback sessions make her especially sharp at diagnosing why a draft isn't working yet.

Clear writing starts with knowing how to organize an argument before drafting a single sentence — outlining a thesis, choosing evidence, and structuring paragraphs so each one earns the next. Mary's speech-language background gives her a sharp ear for how sentences flow and where clarity breaks down, which she applies directly when teaching revision and editing strategies.

A journalism degree sharpens one specific skill above all else: getting to the point. Daniel applies that clarity-first instinct to everything from argumentative essays to creative nonfiction, teaching students how to structure a thesis, tighten their paragraphs, and develop claims with concrete evidence. His 5.0 rating speaks to the trust writers place in his feedback.

An avid screenwriter who spends her free time crafting scripts, Monica treats writing as a craft with learnable moves — thesis construction, paragraph transitions, evidence integration, and voice. She adapts her approach depending on whether a student is struggling to get ideas on the page or needs to sharpen a draft that's already taking shape.

Teaching writing for years across middle school, high school, and college levels has given Joseph a clear sense of where students get stuck — whether it's organizing ideas into a coherent structure or finding a voice that doesn't sound forced. He breaks the drafting process into concrete steps, from brainstorming to polishing final sentences, so the blank page feels less intimidating.

Strong writing starts with clear thinking, and Kelly's background — a BA in History and English Literature plus a master's in History — means she's produced thousands of pages of research-driven, argument-heavy prose. She teaches students to outline before they draft, build paragraphs around single claims, and revise with a ruthless eye for filler.

I am a current Master's Student studying Philosophy with a wide range of academic interests. I graduated with General Honors from the University of Chicago in 2018 with degrees in Statistics and East Asian Languages and Civilizations. I enjoy helping students achieve their full potential and primarily tutor standardized tests and college prep. Outside of tutoring I spend my time reading and playing board games.

I am a graduate of the University of Delaware. I received my Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering degree and obtained minors in Mathematics, Economics, and Biomedical Engineering. Since graduation I've worked for a large diversified manufacturing company in one of their leadership rotational programs. Over the past 2 years I've moved from Hartford, CT to Charlotte, NC and currently reside in Milwaukee, WI. During this time I've been active in the local communities, volunteering up to 10 hours per week. Much of my volunteer work has been focused on helping adult learners in Math and English as they progressed towards obtaining their GED and also helping young learners in the same subjects. I am a strong believer in not only learning the material at hand, but also developing a study strategy that will ensure long term success, regardless of the subject.

I am an expressive, dynamic teacher that likes to make learning fun!
