...over final papers, essays, theses and dissertations. I tailor in-person or online tutoring sessions to each student, and work through problems of forming an argument, creating outlines, structuring work and finishing with a great conclusion. While grammar and sentence structure are key to presenting work in an optimal manner, the development of ideas and critical thinking are at the core of a good paper. Outside of academic work of reading, researching and writing, I love...

My philosophy is twofold: First, I am not here to give you the answers.

...more of a guide than an answer checker. Perhaps its more to do with the subjects I tutor, but I've found that simply telling someone the answer doesn't do them any good.

Its like the parable...
