Academic writing is not a subjective exercise; it is a systematic, rule-based process.

Academic writing is not a subjective exercise; it is a systematic, rule-based process. When analytical students struggle with English, it is often because writing has been taught as a vague art form rather than a rigorous system of logic. My instruction centers on one principle: we treat essay writing, critical thinking, and standardized testing as structured, repeatable processes.
Working in a live, shared document, my sessions focus strictly on academic rigor. We will assess your current writing, map out a clear outline, and develop a precise method for thesis generation, evidence selection, and transitional logic. Rather than simply correcting errors, I provide a strict framework that ensures every part of your writing serves its intended goal. You will learn how to build compelling arguments entirely on your own ideas.
I specialize in high-stakes academic analysis. For high schoolers, I break down the rigid grading rubrics of AP History and AP English, alongside the specific logic of the Digital SAT/ACT. For university students, we tackle advanced research plans, outlining, and drafting precise prose. I also provide targeted instruction to help international students translate their intellectual depth into the specific expectations of English academic writing.
My background includes formal classroom student teaching and high-stakes 1:1 academic coaching. I hold an MA in Medieval Literatures & Languages from the University of York, UK (ranked as one of the top 30 English departments in the world), a BA from Marlboro College, and a Post-Baccalaureate in English Instruction from Drexel University. I also hold a standard teaching certification in English (Grades 7–12) in Pennsylvania.
To provide the highest level of expertise, my practice is strictly limited to analytical writing. I do not tutor creative writing or edit college admissions essays. I specialize exclusively in academic argumentation and logical reasoning. I look forward to getting started.
