Bio

My educational experience in English literature, copy editing, and journalism gives me a broad exposure to many types of writing and editorial standards, including MLA, APA, and AP styles. I have performed proofreading and copy editing for college- and graduate-level academic papers and creative writing, including two years on the editorial board of the Persona literary magazine produced by the students of the University of Arizona.

My educational experience in English literature, copy editing, and journalism gives me a broad exposure to many types of writing and editorial standards, including MLA, APA, and AP styles. I have performed proofreading and copy editing for college- and graduate-level academic papers and creative writing, including two years on the editorial board of the Persona literary magazine produced by the students of the University of Arizona.
I love reading all sorts of literature and improving the use and appreciation of language for my friends and clients is always rewarding. I believe everyone can improve their English skills with guidance, no matter their current level of mastery.

Bachelor of Arts in English, University of Arizona
- English degree with concentration in literature
- two years Journalism training
- two years editorial experience, Persona arts and literature magazine
Minor in Classics (Greco-Roman civilization)
History of English, French language, German language

Freelance online tutoring/proofreading, mainly college/post-graduate academic writing
Familiarity with AP, MLA, and APA style editorial guidelines

I think everyone can learn to enjoy language and use it proficiently in their academic, personal, and professional lives. Colloquial English is a vibrant and living language. It changes constantly as an expression of life and culture.
However, written standard English doesn't always match with how we speak, so many people encounter frustration when trying to conform to the academic and professional standards expected of them.
There's no need to remain confused! Help is available from a friendly, non-judgmental tutor who can customize a plan to fit your individual needs.

If you can benefit from personalized advice to improve your writing skills, reading comprehension, or just need a proofreader to give an outside opinion on your work, contact me for assistance. I look forward to working with you.

The Very Best! Proof-reading and editing

Wow! I have nothing but positive things to say about Stephanie as a tutor, proof-reader, and editor extraordinaire! She went above and beyond to help me on a really condensed timeline, and she was so flexible. Also, she provided such a thorough review of my essays picking up the most subtle errors or suggesting improvement in concise and powerful language. More than that, I felt like Stephanie was really able to ask probing questions and help me capture my ideas in words. I have the absolute highest recommendation for Stephanie, and I will certainly be seeking her out for assistance in the future.
