Hello, I'm Stephanie! If your student is stuck on an essay, struggling to organize their ideas, or unsure how to turn a rough draft into their strongest work, I can help. Think of me as an “Essay Doctor”—someone who helps students get on track, stay on track, and find a clear path forward. Sometimes they need help getting started; other times, they need a fresh perspective on a draft that just isn't working. My goal is to help each student write with greater confidence and earn the strongest grade they can.
I graduated in the top 10% of my class at the University of Central Florida with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, focusing on research. My background in research, critical thinking, and written communication informs my approach to teaching writing. I have more than 10 years of experience coaching and tutoring students one-on-one and have taught both elementary and high school students in classroom settings. I taught fourth grade for three years and have taught high school Honors English, including English I and II, to ninth- and tenth-grade students. These experiences have given me insight into students' developmental needs and the writing skills teachers expect.
I work with students on literary analysis, argumentative and research essays, scholarship essays, and college application essays. Whether we need to develop a thesis, organize ideas, strengthen analysis, improve flow, or polish a final draft, I offer practical, individualized guidance that helps students understand what isn't working and how to improve it. I want students to leave our sessions with a stronger essay and a clearer understanding of how to approach their next assignment.
Need help ahead of a deadline? Prefer to work through an essay step by step? Or is the deadline suddenly tomorrow? I welcome both scheduled sessions and last-minute requests. My approach is encouraging, direct, and tailored to each student's needs. If your student needs direction, a fresh set of eyes, or an essay rescue, let's get to work!
