PhD Student & Columbia MA Graduate: Essay Revision, Proofreading

Majorca B.

Hi, I’m Majorca, a passionate, patient, and highly experienced tutor ready to help you reach your academic goals!

I’m currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Comparative Studies in Discourse and Society at the University of Minnesota, with a strong academic background that includes an M.A. in Film and Media Studies and a B.A. in Film Studies from Columbia University. My research spans media theory, history, politics, and emergent technologies, and I bring this same interdisciplinary curiosity and rigor to every tutoring session.

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with students of all ages, from children in work-study tutoring roles to undergraduates at Columbia and the University of Minnesota, where I’ve served as a Teaching Assistant. I also have extensive experience helping students craft standout college application essays, proofread academic writing, and strengthen their creative work.

I specialize in:
- College Prep & Essay Coaching (Common App, personal statements, supplemental essays)
- Writing & Composition (English, literature, film/media, history, cultural studies)
- Creative Writing (fiction, screenwriting, personal storytelling)
- Thesis/Dissertation Support (undergraduate & graduate-level)

My approach is thoughtful, tailored, and encouraging — I aim to make writing feel not just doable, but genuinely rewarding.

📅 *Important Scheduling Note: I kindly request that you schedule sessions at least 12–24 hours in advance so I can prepare thoroughly. For last-minute requests, I’ll try my best, but I can’t always guarantee availability.

If you're a parent or would like to discuss how I can support you (or your child) with writing or college prep, feel free to reach out via the Wyzant portal to set up a paid consultation. I'm always happy to answer questions or talk through your goals!
