BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF
My students identify their main themes and are well on their way to crafting a stellar personal statement, draft paper, or workable outline by the end of our first session. I carefully consider your unique story, preferences, and aims during our brainstorming, and offer constructive feedback until you are truly proud of your writing!

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
In addition to writing mentorship, I am able to offer useful tips about top-tier universities based on personal experience. After earning an English degree from Mount Holyoke College, I worked as an international journalist before receiving an MA and several awards from Columbia University. I earned a PhD from Bristol University in England, attended Harvard and Oxford universities, and authored and edited acclaimed books that are available in renowned libraries around the world. For over a decade I mentored hundreds of academics and writers at Central European University, where I established a fellowship program before returning home to Boston.

SAMPLE REVIEW
Although newly active on Wyzant, I have been certified and earned top ratings on other platforms. "Can't speak highly enough for Pamela. She is an accomplished author so when my daughter was struggling with her essay, she helped her brainstorm ideas and gave her the space to write what was on her mind. Then went back and forth with feedback and editing until it was done. She is patient, kind and you can tell that she loves to help students learn to write their best work. She is by far the best tutor I could've asked for!" -Angelique

Knowledgeable, supportive and patient tutor.

Pamela is an excellent tutor. She is patient, supportive and quick to respond to messages. I was approaching large writing projects and found Pamela to be invaluable in explaining concepts, breaking down instructions, assisting with the development of a work plan/structure, finding resources, and coaching me through the writing process. I feel Pamela can support any level of educational needs.

Outstanding writing mentor!

Pam is a dynamic, patient and kind tutor and writing mentor. Her obvious enjoyment in helping others write their best work permeates sessions. We brainstormed until I found my focus, and her valuable feedback worked turned my initial statement into a meaningful story. Pam not only improved my writing, she helped me find my voice. ~Karen (or Pippi), 1 lesson with Pamela

Excellent proofreader, extremely professional

Pamela assisted me in refining a doctoral dissertation. The document required attention to grammar, structure, APA citations, and academic tone. She demonstrated exceptional attention to grammatical accuracy and consistency in formatting. She is a great communicator and the work was delivered on time, which helped me meet critical submission deadlines. She
