Patient, friendly, experienced; Specializing in writing

Lisa P.

Hi! I'm so glad you're thinking about tutoring. Whether you need support with a specific assignment or want to build lasting skills, I’m here to help you grow, reach your goals, and feel more confident in your abilities.

I bring over 20 years of experience in online learning, an MBA from Babson, B.S. degree from BU, a certificate in online tutoring from Oxford University, and three decades as a professional marketing writer to every session. I’ve helped numerous students craft standout application essays for public universities, private colleges, and graduate schools, and I consistently receive positive feedback on how practical and personalized my support is.

My approach is rooted in sound pedagogical practices. That means I don't just help you complete a task—I help you build skills that apply across subjects and situations. Students I work with often say they feel more confident, capable, and better prepared for future challenges. They leave our sessions with tools they can use independently and a deeper understanding of the material. I create a friendly, structured space where learning feels both productive and low-pressure.

Here’s what I can help with:

Admission essays – From brainstorming to final edits, we’ll craft something that reflects your voice and makes an impact.
Writing assignments – Organize ideas, develop arguments, and edit for clarity and flow.
Presentations – Learn how to create and deliver clear, compelling, and confident presentations.
Reading comprehension – Build strategies to better understand, retain, and engage with texts.

I offer both online and in-person tutoring. Let me know what you’re hoping to accomplish—I’d love to help you get there!
