I had a 20-year career in business contract negotiations where I wrote proposals and legal documents. Prior, I was an honors student in college, receiving an MBA from a prestigious business school. During my undergraduate years I took many literature classes because I enjoy reading and writing. I was offered an undergraduate fellowship in literature but pursued business. Now, I want to share my appreciation of literature with students struggling to complete assigned papers. I will help ensure you understand the assignment from the start, because often that is when writing can be a challenge.

I have experience tutoring all ages 1:1, with the common application and college essays. My experience includes tutoring all levels of writing, language and literature assignments as well as professional work including job applications, cover letters and resume writing.

Have you ever written a brilliant essay that doesn't quite answer the prompt? I can help you with that! We can work together to outline, or you can send me your draft in advance, and I can make suggestions. Get your work to the next level though use of textual evidence, better grammar, more interesting vocabulary and proper punctuation working with me. I can help you learn how to eliminate superfluous words and make your work concise. Please contact me to help at any point in the process where you might feel "stuck" or at the end with a B paper and want to get the A! I don't mind familiarizing myself with the literature or topic you are studying in advance to make our sessions productive.

I have years of experience working with "out of the box" differently abled thinkers with great ideas who have trouble putting them on paper. If you are dyslexic and/or have ADHD, I have been successful working with those differences in learning style. Often brilliant thinkers just need some help getting their creative ideas into writing.

Wonderful tutor!

I went to Ms. Donna for help on my college essays for my dream school. She provided so much excellent feedback. I had one session with her, and she went above and beyond, even providing additional advice after the session. I was admitted to my dream school, and I'm so thankful I met this fabulous tutor. I highly recommend Ms. Donna to anyone who needs essay help. Thank you, Ms. Donna!

Supportive, knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Donna has been a fantastic tutor. I am in the process of finding a new job and she has helped me with my resume and cover letters. Initially, I used AI, but with her guidance I was able to revised my documents and make them more personal make them reflect my work experience that reflects my career goals and personality. She also gave me great advice on my LinkedIn profile including tips on how to improve. Donna is patient, listen to your concerns and is very experienced. Now, I feel confident that I have a good resume and a couple of strong well written cover letters that I can easily customize for each job application.

Best tutor you could ever ask for

I cannot thank Donna enough for the incredible support and guidance she provided during my child's college application process. From our very first session, it was evident that Donna genuinely cares about helping students succeed. Donne worked closely with my child to not only refine his college essays but also how to attack the prompt correctly. She took the time to understand my child's unique strengths and aspirations, guided my child to draw on personal experiences and passions resulted in an essay that truly reflected my child's character and goals. Thanks to Donna's expertise and encouragement, my child felt confident throughout the application process. I highly recommend Donna to any parent looking for someone who can provide expert guidance and a personal touch during the college application journey.

Donna T. is extremely knowledgeable as well as a very good communicator

It was a pleasure dealing with Donna. One of the things that I found most attractive, was her preparation. Before our engagement, she had reviewed all of the necessary materials at her own expense so by the time we met, she was up to speed and gave me precise feedback as to how to enhance my resume. I truly appreciated her ability to communicate and how receptive she was to exchanging ideas. If you need a professional editor, I would definitely recommend utilizing Donna's skills.

After the lesson, my daughter made the recommended changes that really made a good essay actually a great essay. Donna also motivated my daughter to complete the tasks and apply.
