Vanessa F.

1 essay lesson

I got upset and didn't ask him to help until my another tutor left the country. I contacted him again on WyzAnt! I explained to him the case we need to write. I told him that I would write down all the bulleted list and send to him to check before I start to write the whole essay. However, he refused to give me any ideas or discuss the essay together. He said to me that he would only read and edit the essay after I finish.
Darlene A.

5 essay lessons

I sent her all the class notes, she read them all, and then I gave her a sloppy copy of my essay and she helped organize all my thoughts and helped me clean up my paper. I ended up getting an 'A' on the essay and the instructor said he enjoyed reading it. Doreen is the best because she learned all my class materials and helped me organize it all into the essay. Doreen also helped teach me self-discipline and time-management, which she did not have to, but she cares.
Abdul A.

3 essay lessons

Elizabeth helped me outline and edit my essay. She was very patient and her comments were very insightful. I would definitely recommend her to my friends!
