I decided to look online for tutoring/ specifically for short term essay and came across WyzAnt. I chose Serena initially because she was located in my home area and she specified assistance with "essays", amongst many other choices. Upon meeting Serena, she began to "guide" my daughter throughout the three sessions, until my daughter completed her essay. Incidentally, Serena being a young woman, made it that much more comfortable for my daughter.

After she read through my essay (which I thought was perfect), she quickly pointed out many flaws, and suggested ways which they could be corrected. What I really liked however, was that not only was she a patient tutor, but she listened to what I wanted to do rather than what she wanted. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to correct or improve their writing, I don't think my essay would have come out this good with anyone else.
