Best College English Tutor

I am a retired high school and college English teacher, and I specialize in teaching essay writing to all levels of students. I self-published a book that teaches students how to think out and organize essays. The visual format of the book guarantees that a student must learn only once how to organize an essay. Then, writing becomes less stressful, less time consuming and simply a matter of elevating the thought process and refining style. The book was used in my New York City high school f... Read more

Writing can be hard. Doing it alone, when you don't have the right one-on-one help, can make it harder.

I understand different thinking styles, and tailor my approach to them whenever possible. My standards ar... Read more

I am a retired college English professor with 29 years of experience. I have also worked as an examiner for the International Baccalaureate. I have also written books in college success and taking online classes. My students tended to be successful because I did not give them answers. Rather, I worked with them to develop their own ideas. I am also demanding. I expect students to do the best work they can--and then improve on that. For tutoring, I expect students to be prepared for their se... Read more

During my fifteen years of teaching first-year college English, I have often heard students say on the first day of class that they are just not good writers.

I'll provide you with the tools, not the wooden rules of grammar and syntax but knowledge of the underlying?logic?of good sentences. Soon you'll fi... Read more
