In addition, she provided an outline and tools he could use when writing an essay. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends with kids studying for exams or in need of writing tools. I am so happy we found her when we did because my son did really well on the ISEE and got in to his #1 choice for private school as an 8th grader.
Tserenchuluun A.

2 Writing lessons

I instantly understood the crucial points in excellent writing skills. I wrote three essays for a graduate teaching program at USC, and I just got accepted! The admissions faculty commented that my essays were very strong and interesting to read. As Shelley said, "Show, do not tell," my essays truly showed who I am and why I wanted to be a great teacher. I absolutely would recommend Shelley for friends and family and whoever who needs helps for any writing. Thank you!

From there Marie designed an approach tailored to her style of learning, and her strengths and weaknesses. After just a few lessons, we have seen our daughter's writing develop a more solid foundation and as well as deepen in style appropriate to whatever the assignment is. Marie has been very hard working, patient and accommodating, and I would recommend her as a tutor to any student striving to improve their writing.
