Are you looking to ace your next paper, get into the college of your dreams, or unleash your inner writing beast? Not sure where to start or how to finish? Whether you’re just starting to stare at the blank page or are already neck-deep in a project, I can be the helping hand that makes your life easier.

Along with having a BA in English and an MBA, I'm a PhD candidate in Comparative Religion and a published business scholar in multiple peer-reviewed journals. I can help you with everything from a Shakespeare analysis to an admissions essay to a full-on thesis and/or dissertation. In my 10-year tenure as a student, graduate research assistant, and freelance writer, I’ve written a paper on just about everything and never received a grade lower than an A.

Whatever the subject you're writing about, I’ve probably read about it already and can guide you through it. I believe that you can be a great writer—it just takes a little bit of time, patience, and guidance.

I’m a native English-speaker and my English degree gave me a solid foundation in advanced paper composition, literary analysis, literary theory, and creative writing. I also have an MBA where I focused heavily on research. My crowning achievement as a writer is my publication in an exclusive "A" journal--something that many tenured professors have not even done! My current studies in Comparative Religion also ground me extensively in philosophy, history, and sociology.

I can guarantee that, in some capacity, I can help you with any of the following:

Writing tutoring
Research project tutoring
Business Case Studies
Ghostwriting
Editing
Proofreading
Admissions Counsellor/Essay Tutor
Reading/Writing Tutor (k-12)
Tutoring in the following subjects: Anthropology, Psychology, Philosophy, English Literature, Management, and Religious Studies/Theology (Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism).

I'm very flexible and responsive, so contact me right away for any inquiries!

Particularly skilled in optimizing Common App essay, UC essays, and other supplementary essays.

In college, I realized that I needed to learn to cook actual food (not frozen pizzas and Kraft Mac n' Cheese. 10 years later, I've become proficient in cooking just about anything, from fresh bread to gourmet Indian, Chinese, and Thai dishes. I can teach anyone not only specific dishes, but the basic principles of home-cooked food that let one be creative and cultivate their own unique cooking style.

I've learned hundreds of songs and created and performed dozens of my own, and love to teach others to do the same.

My BA in English required a few courses focusing on linguistics, all of which I performed exceptionally well in. This also involved a deep study of some of the most famous linguists such as Saussure and Pinker. This, paired with expert knowledge in English, basic knowledge of Urdu and Turkish, and an overall passion for language, makes me a versatile linguistics tutor.
