I have years of experience helping students hone their writing skills. I've edited projects that include academic essays, books, articles, and dissertations in a wide variety of subjects ranging from the humanities and education to sociology and the sciences. I thrive on helping writers to develop their craft, including coaching clients on how to create a consistent writing practice, set and reach goals, and more.

I love to work with students to craft compelling college admissions essays and graduate school statements of purpose/writing samples. I am also well-versed in APA 7 and in the intricacies of specialty formatting requirements for dissertations and other projects.

As a writing instructor at Indiana University, I guided students to develop their critical thinking and writing skills through course assignments, readings, and one-on-one advice and editing sessions. I am also TEFL certified and have taught English as a Second Language courses for adult professionals. My experiences inside and outside the classroom make me an adept and attentive writing coach for clients of all experience levels, including ESL speakers and writers.

Please reach out if you are looking for help in your English or composition class, or on a writing project in any subject. If you are working on a paper, dissertation, or long-form writing project and need editing help, I would love to provide you with expert level coaching, developmental, and/or copy editing services.

Exceptional Tutor: Knowledgeable, Patient, and Effective

I started collaborating with Ashley in my second semester of pursuing a PhD, at a time when imposter syndrome weighed heavily on me and I doubted my writing abilities. From our very first tutoring session, Ashley's profound expertise and passion were evident, immediately boosting my confidence and inspiring me profoundly. She not only validated my concerns but has continuously supported and encouraged me, significantly enhancing my writing skills. Ashley’s guidance feels like that of an advisor, coaching and navigating me through my academic challenges with remarkable insight. For anyone considering tutoring options, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Ashley, her exceptional skills and dedication truly make her stand out.

I cannot say enough good things about Ashley

I have been working with Ashley since 2019, and she is not only a wonderful tutor, but an amazing role model and person. It is not an understatement to say that working with her has changed the trajectory of my education. She has helped me to develop confidence and skill in my academic writing, while going above and beyond to support me in navigating the academia. Through working with her I have been able to raise my grades to all A's in college, which has continued into graduate school. I couldn't have accomplished all that I have without her. Ashley's teaching style is so kind and motivating, while at the same time being highly informed. She is able to seamlessly incorporate expert advice with entertaining conversation. I leave many of our sessions not only feeling prepared to complete papers, but also having gained new insights and areas of reflection that came up during our meeting. I cannot say enough good things about Ashley, and I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking to have a positive and highly effective learning experience with a writing tutor.

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Michaela, for your lovely words. I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed working with you for the past four years. I only wish your graduate program was longer so we would have a reason to keep working together for many more years to come!

Excellent Editorial/Formatting Skills

Ashley has been an absolute lifesaver for my school paper. Her editorial and formatting assistance have been exceptional! Specifically, she helped with the TOC, adding/hyperlinking references, creation of reference lists, alignment of tables/figures, fixing margins, etc. , all with precision and expertise. Finding someone with Ashley's level of skill and dedication proved to be quite the challenge and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found her. Ashley is also a stellar communicator, making the collaboration process a breeze. She grasps your project's requirements and timeline easily. I highly recommend Ashley for all your paper editing/formatting needs!

Wonderful Analytical Writing Tutor!

Ashley was wonderful in helping my son prepare and pass a college Analytical Writing exam. She would prep for the lesson by providing articles for my son to write about. We appreciate her attention to details by reviewing the practice essays sentence by sentence. She knows what colleges are expecting and can help you prepare and proofread any essay. We highly recommend her! Amy, 9 lessons
