Carol J.

13 Writing lessons

I believe she is motivated to so out of her passion for writing and teaching. As a result, the outcome is very encouraging - I was immensely proud when comparing the essay I wrote at session zero side by side with the one I wrote after session six. It was a huge difference! Thanks for your attention. This is the longest review I’ve ever posted, which probably demonstrates that I don’t hate writing as much anymore.

She will check his reading comprehension, improve his writing structures to be more concise and ask him questions if the sentences are not clear as they both edit and revise together. After 1 month, he has improved his writing from about 6 sentences to 1 to 1.5 page length with a good flow and he is becoming less reliant on Laurie. Laurie will continue to work with Ivan in his writing for higher writing level. Laurie is a highly experienced tutor and I would recommend anyone to her.
DIVYA A.

Her extensive knowledge of English and writing practices is evident, and she has a remarkable ability to make complex concepts easy to understand for my daughter. Whether you're looking to improve your essay writing or explore creative writing projects, she is the perfect guide. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate their writing skills with a tutor who is both inspiring and supportive.
