I have a B.A, M.A., and Ph.D. from UCLA. I have worked for various institutions, conducted academic research, and have taught at the middle school and university levels. I have many years of experience providing educational services in English/Spanish (grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking), from beginning to advanced levels of communication and writing.

As an educator, I have delivered effective academic instruction to students at the K-12 and university levels. To accommodate different learning styles, I find the proper approaches and techniques for each learner. I especially like to help those who have difficulties putting their thoughts on paper.

I have professional experience helping students craft research papers, dissertation proposals, and dissertation manuscripts. Many of my students come from various stages in their careers, have diverse backgrounds, and represent numerous disciplines (musicology, ethnomusicology, anthropology, women’s studies, education, criminal justice, nursing, geography, psychology, theology, etc.).

I can assist with organizing ideas in a logical manner, editing class assignments, proofreading academic documents, and coaching doctoral students with research proposals and dissertation manuscripts.

In addition to helping students refine their voice and express ideas, I can provide assistance with:
1. Content editing: content, ideas, structure
2. Line editing: language, sentence structure, paragraph restructuring
3. Copy editing: grammar, syntax, stylistic consistency
4. Proofreading: surface errors, punctuation, stylistic inconsistencies, formatting, page numbers, references, etc.
5. Academic format: APA, MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, etc.

Incredible writing tutor!

I have done several writing sessions with Leticia to get support while finalizing my dissertation. I was so impressed by her ability to jump right into the project and provide insights based on what I needed at each stage of the process! She has assisted me with a range of tasks - formatting, creating outlines, reviewing content and simplifying language, and clarifying arguments and research questions. She really does it all, and I cannot recommend her enough!!

Leticia is excellent. I have moved on to preparing for my proposal defense, I would never have been able to to get to this point without our work together, I have more confident in my skills because Leticia helps me process the information in my mind so it makes sense

Skilled and supportive dissertation tutor

Leticia is warm, encouraging, perceptive, knowledgeable, skilled and organized - and overall wonderful to work with; we feel so fortunate to have found her and especially at a critical moment. She provided essential help to my son who was struggling with a college-level dissertation and also has some attentional/organizational issues. Leticia quickly grasped the nature of his project and guided him in crafting a dissertation using his research and ideas. Her support enabled my son to break down a complex subject so he could focus on the individual parts. Together they developed a detailed outline and filled in missing pieces, using work he had already completed and with targeted writing assignments; they then worked on weaving together the various strands and fine-tuning the dissertation so it came together as a whole. Leticia was generous and accommodating in making herself available so my son could finish on time. In the end, my son made some unexpected connections and discoveries in the dissertation process and is proud of the final product; and he has grown in his organizational and analytical skills through his work with Leticia.

Organize and outline my essay.

She helps how to put together my thoughts and organize the outline of my paper. Then we work together to turn the outline into an essay. She reviews what I wrote and suggested better ways to do it. She is really good.
