For two years as a Stanford Hollyhock Fellow I studied how to help students write better. Through feedback that is both technical (the X's and O's of writing) and power-affirming (asking writers to think deeply about their effect on the reader), I have helped dozens of students get into colleges.

Knowledgable and attentive tutor
Ward helped me work on my PIQs for my college applications, he helped me find ideas, begin my writing, and showed me how to structure my future writing. Our lesson gave me more insight into what admissions will be looking for and set me up with a clear path forward.

Knowledgeable and patient teacher
He made sure the student was at ease during the session. He read my daughter’s PIQs and the feedback was encouraging and constructive. She said she learned a lot from him even in a short time. We thank Mr. Ward for being patient and helpful. We are looking forward to future lessons.

Kind and Informative
I appreciated the knowledge that Ward brought into our session when reviewing my PIQs. His feedback reflected that of an admissions officer. He was patient and regularly asked if I understood his feedback, which was great!

knowledgeable and patient tutor
I am the mother of a high school student, and we needed help with his essays right away. After our initial contact, he responded promptly. Given our desperate situation, his quick reply was a big relief for us. He is very knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and has a great personality. We have had several lessons, and my son's essays have improved significantly. We are truly grateful for his assistance. Moreover, my son enjoys his lessons. If you need a good tutor, I totally recommend him. I just wish we found him sooner and didn't have to rush at the last minute.
