Larisa C.

1 lesson

Lisa did not work with my son, she wrote a few ideas, in the comfort of her home and then wrote the "essay" for him. Lisa wrote: "I also wrote the essay for him. All he had to do was lay it out on the page and print it. The work was done for him." Her complete college essay was about 15-16 lines and had to be discarded because it was useless. We had to get another tutor, who was able to come and work one on one and help, not do the work for the student.

He worked with me for several hours when I was close to deadlines and made the writing process a lot easier. He really knows how to phrase the things you were thinking about but didn't know how to write on paper. This is very critical when writing a college essay because you want it to sound as natural as possible, but at the same time it has to sound logical and appealing to the reader. Mr. E knows exactly how to do this and he is patient throughout the process.
