Essay Writing

I have training in Rhetoric from my PhD in Communication. I applied some theoretical frameworks from the field of Rhetoric to my dissertation. And I have been teaching Public Speaking and Interpersonal Communication at Citrus College in Glendora for the past year. I also wrote a 200+ page dissertation on how belief systems in Western Pennsylvania make it harder to mount an effective collective resistance to the fracking industry, which I think amply demonstrates the fact that I know how to structure an essay.

French

Hello! My name is Helene Langlamet (NOT pronounced like the hurricane)! Every customer service rep in this country asks me to spell out my name when I'm on the line with them, so this should give you confidence that if you hire me, you will in fact get French lessons from a legit, baguette-toting, beret-sporting, wine-swirling Frenchwoman (yes, all the stereotypes are completely 100% true). Plus I have years of experience teaching a variety of subjects to students aged 4 to 40. Depending on your level and goals, I am happy to help you navigate through the thicket of French's 84 (!) separate verb endings or dissect Brassens lyrics together. Please reach out if you are interested in taking your French to the next level!

GRE

I have years of experience tutoring the SAT and the GRE and a good track record with raising people's scores. My approach focuses on helping students identify the main skills they need to strengthen and drilling those until they gain mastery of those and of the broader process of test prep. In 2015, I applied my advice to myself and scored in the 99th percentile on the verbal section of the GRE (I believe I scored 92nd in Math). In terms of my credentials to teach the Math section of the SAT, I've tutored Mathematics freelance for years before beginning my graduate degree and even began a teaching credential in Mathematics. I have coached two students through their graduate admissions applications (one of whom got admitted to USC Annenberg, among others), so I am able to be helpful throughout the admissions process. I teach Speech as an adjunct faculty at Citrus College, so I have a lot of experience teaching argumentative forms of writing, which is exactly what's needed in admissions essays.

Thesis Writing
