About Holly


Bio

Teachers are the nurses for education. I am an RN for writing. Instead of wielding a needle-I hold a red pen; instead of taking blood pressure-I'm checking sentence structure; instead of bandaging you up from surgery, I'm making my final touches on the paper that is going to get you an A. I'm poetic, yet professional. I treat the problem instead of the symptoms. Like a hand crafted wine, my work is about quality, not quantity, but you will not find me being imbibed by my own abilities-all...

Teachers are the nurses for education. I am an RN for writing. Instead of wielding a needle-I hold a red pen; instead of taking blood pressure-I'm checking sentence structure; instead of bandaging you up from surgery, I'm making my final touches on the paper that is going to get you an A. I'm poetic, yet professional. I treat the problem instead of the symptoms. Like a hand crafted wine, my work is about quality, not quantity, but you will not find me being imbibed by my own abilities-all things in moderation is my motto. I will not let you go gently into that good night nor will I let your life be like a dream within a dream, because you just can't seem to finish writing that paper that you need to pass that class.

I've been where you are-spending more time at the library than with my friends, coming up with an epiphany the night before a paper is due, and researching a topic until I have enough sources to fill an appendix.

I've had the pleasure of working two semesters at Towson University's ESOL Writing Lab, tutoring post secondary level students from a myriad of different cultures and native languages. I was instrumental in helping one Middle Eastern student score an internship with Johns Hopkins University, a Korean student re-apply to the music program through Towson, and a young Indian man improve his verbal pronunciation and understanding of English idioms, which he desperately needed for his future working in the medical field.

Give me a chance and I assure you that you won't be disappointed!

Approved Subjects

English

English

I am very proficient in the English language. Having received my Bachelor of Science in English, I am more than qualified to tutor a student in phonetics, writing, and proofreading. I am thorough and detailed and will take the time to explain concepts that the student may not understand.
Grammar

Grammar

You can be sure that I know the difference between "their, they're, and there." Use of proper grammar is not only vital in writing, but also in speaking when it comes to the business world. If you practice proper grammar people will take you more seriously, because you appear to be more educated and aware of the words you speak.
Literature

Literature

I have studied every great writer from the sonnets of Shakespeare to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe. I have a love for both children's and adult literature. I believe that reading quality literature is important for students of all majors.
Reading

Reading

Reading is a vital skill for anyone to have in today's society. I have plenty of experience reading novels, poetry, and student papers. I especially enjoy reaching for the meanings behind symbolism and personification.

Very committed

I was looking for a tutor to improve my son's writing skills and grammar, I and chose Ms. Holly. I am very happy for finding her as she is very committed to her work, and my son has been showing improvement. She really works on the specific areas where improvement is needed.
