Vernon U.

4 essay lessons

Andrew got every essay back to me within 48 hours, and the majority got back to me the next day. His comments were clear on the essay, and he also would write a summary of what I did well, what I could do better on, and how I could do better on those things that needed improvement. He also invited any comments from me, which allowed us to have a sort of "back-and-forth" on various strategies.
Christine K.

2 essay lessons

David taught my son how to organize his thoughts in outline format prior to taking on the task of writing an essay. After only one tutoring session, he has helped my son focus his efforts and thoughts on paper. I saw a huge improvement in my son's confidence in his ability to respond to an essay prompt. David was patient, easy to understand, highly intelligent, punctual, and flexible with scheduling the tutoring session.
Lori M.

44 essay lessons

Her organization and preparedness made each session so effective and I was able to get so much out of the short week. On the Essay portion of the test, Phoebe also gave me so much insight into what the graders were looking for and therefore I was able to raise my essay grade as well. Aside from the fact that she is an incredibly knowledgeable and professional tutor, she is also such a joy to work with.
