Hi, I'm Elizabeth! If you're new here, welcome to Wyzant!

If you've been referred to me or attended one of my workshops, please let me know.

Linguistics students: I'll help you figure out how to write great papers, read tough journal articles, and succeed in classes like: Intro to Linguistics, Science of Language, Phonology 1 & 2, Phonetics, Syntax 1, Historical Linguistics, Field Methods, and more.

Graduate-level linguistics students: I'll assist you in honing your clarity of argumentation, sifting through the literature, and thriving in classes like: Intro to Linguistics, Phonological Theory 1 & 2, Field Methods, Phonetics, phonology seminars, and more.

Non-native English speakers: I'll help you identify which of your vowel and consonant sounds other people are having problems understanding. I'll work with you to develop new pronunciation skills so you can help them understand. Here's a secret: the people who call it "accent reduction" have it upside down! We're actually adding new skills to your repertory so you can shift your accent whenever you choose.

Actors/singers: I offer dialect coaching for performing in any accent or singing in any language. I teach and use the IPA as well as movement-based vowel representations, which we can tailor for your needs. I sing in Irish, French, Spanish, German, and Scots.

LSAT students: I focus specifically on logic games, helping you develop time-saving strategies and efficient notation. For advanced students, I teach techniques for complex games, including foolproof skills for tackling partially ordered set scenarios.

Proofreading/Editing: I offer proofreading for everything from your term paper to your master's thesis, or from your website to your grant proposal. I'll help you edit for clarity of argumentation, tone, and structure.

I look forward to working with you!
