Bio

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.

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!

Approved Subjects

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I’ve had the joy of teaching high school honors English, where I help students grow as creative writers by exploring storytelling, voice, and style. Since 2015, I’ve also worked one-on-one as an academic coach, guiding students as they develop their own writing process and discover what makes their voice unique. I love creating a supportive space where students feel confident to take risks and express themselves through writing. Whether it's fiction, personal narrative, or poetry, I enjoy helping students bring their ideas to life.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As a high school honors English teacher, I work closely with students to strengthen their essay writing skills, from thesis development to clear, organized arguments. I focus on helping students understand structure, analyze texts effectively, and express their ideas with clarity and confidence. Through my years of private academic coaching, I’ve supported students in writing everything from literary analysis to college application essays. My goal is always to make essay writing feel approachable, purposeful, and rewarding.
Literature

Literature

For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of teaching high school Honors Literature, guiding students through everything from Hemingway’s minimalist style to Twain’s biting humor, and from Shakespeare’s powerful verse to Orwell’s bold ideas. Literature has always been a passion of mine, and I love helping students connect with these works in a way that feels personal and engaging. Whether we’re untangling a Shakespearean soliloquy or diving into the themes of Animal Farm, I aim to make each lesson both meaningful and enjoyable.
Writing

Writing

I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, with a focus on research, and bring more than 10 years of experience in one-on-one tutoring and academic coaching. As a former elementary school teacher and high school Honors English teacher, I have helped students in fourth through tenth grades develop stronger writing skills, from organizing ideas and constructing clear paragraphs to developing thesis statements and supporting arguments with relevant evidence. My teaching approach focuses on the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing, with individualized feedback to help students communicate their ideas effectively. I work with students on literary analysis, argumentative and research essays, and other academic writing assignments, helping them become more confident, capable writers who can apply these skills independently.
