I love helping students achieve their goals. I'm a Columbia University grad with over 25 years of experience as a professional journalist, academic editor, and writing instructor. I have a solid record of helping university applicants gain admission to choice schools, students with diverse backgrounds boost grades, and writers become published authors.

BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF
My students identify their main themes and are well on their way to crafting a stellar application essay, draft paper, or workable outline by the end of our first session. I carefully consider your unique story, preferences and aims during our brainstorming, and offer constructive feedback until you are truly proud of your writing!

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
In addition to writing mentorship, I am able to offer useful tips about top-tier universities based on personal experience. After earning an English degree from Mount Holyoke College, I worked as an international journalist before receiving an MA and several awards from Columbia University. I earned a PhD from Bristol University in England, attended Harvard and Oxford universities, and authored and edited acclaimed books that are available in renowned libraries around the world. For over a decade I mentored hundreds of academics and writers at Central European University, where I established a fellowship program before returning home to Boston.

SAMPLE REVIEW
"Can't speak highly enough for Pamela. She is an accomplished author so when my daughter was struggling with her essay, she helped her brainstorm ideas and gave her the space to write what was on her mind. Then went back and forth with feedback and editing until it was done. She is patient, kind and you can tell that she loves to help students learn to write their best work. She is by far the best tutor I could've asked for!" - Angelique Tettonis
