57 essay lessons

A year and a half ago, I chose to return to college and finish my Bachelor's degree. I had been away from school for many years. Therefore, I knew I was extremely rusty in the fields of writing, grammar, essay composition, and so on. I'm also dyslexic. Instead of struggling another semester by myself, I made the decision to get a tutor to enlighten my path. Why I didn't do this earlier I don't know. In came Phoebe to set me straight.

Evan has had several tutoring sessions with my daughter. He has accommodated her schedule and has been very patient with her. He always arrived on time and got started to work immediately. He has overcome her lack of interest and brought her greater understanding in general of the math and essay questions. We will use him again when her schedule is open for more tutoring. She and I are both very happy with him!

Don discussed goal setting, study tips and time management. He reviewed an essay to make further suggestions. He shared other tips and strategies. An hour well-spent. We look forward to Don coaching Aaron through finals this month and beyond. The goal is to get his GPA up from 2.3 range to more of a 3.0 range in core classes. I have confidence Don is equipped to show our son the way to accomplish his goals.
