Best Writing Tutors

I have a Master's Degree in Reading from the University of Virginia. I have been tutoring children for many years. Most recently I was the reading specialist at Chesterbrook Academy. There I used the Wilson Reading program and specialized in teaching reading, spelling and writing. The Wilson Reading System is phonics-based. I believe learning phonics is invaluable to learning to read. My students learn how to read fluently and with confidence. I have been a tutor on Wyzant's platform for... Read more

My teacher handed me the Iliad when I was fourteen, and I hated it. Eight years and two full tours of the Great Books later, I had learned to like the Western Canon but not how to understand or study it. I still felt like a person at a feast with a stuffy nose. Then I got hired to write Literature class plans and suddenly there was no more "try." What happened next was stranger than fiction, but that's a story I'll save for later. For now, can you relate to my experience? Maybe they kee... Read more

Bonjour! French is a beautiful language that I enjoy sharing with others. I value tutoring because so much can be accomplished by working with students one on one. Tailoring the lessons according to the needs of the individual learner, I carefully select resources to develop his or her French speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Having grown up in a French-speaking home, I developed basic communication skills from an early age. Later, I minored in French as an undergraduate... Read more

I have been teaching and tutoring every level of Latin (including AP) for 15 years. I prefer to work with students who struggle in class, who fall behind, who do not want to be in class, or who for any reason do not believe that they can be successful Latin students. I believe that all students can achieve a measure of success in Latin, and I have helped about a thousand students achieve measures of success in Latin throughout my career. Not everyone can always achieve a perfect score on ev... Read more

I have my 120-hour TESOL c... Read more

I love being able to help in any way I can so that my students can excel and grow in... Read more
