I'm Ashley, a legal professional with a passion for writing and a strong background in academic and persuasive composition. I hold a B.Sc in Legal Studies from St. John's University and a Juris Doctor from Hofstra University. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience drafting, editing, and reviewing a wide range of essays, research papers, and creative pieces. Writing is not just my profession; outside of work, I can be found doing my own creative writing.
I understand that building strong writing skills can seem challenging; that's why I find it important to help students build confidence in a patient and supportive way. My approach is centered on helping students understand why certain writing techniques work and the breadth of useful writing mechanisms. I emphasize to my learners that there is no "dumb question", and that attention to detail and understanding the "why" makes the difference.
I've had the pleasure of working with middle school, high school, and college students, and I always personalize my approach to fit each student's needs and goals, as I understand that learning isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether you need detailed feedback on an essay, help brainstorming ideas for your personal statement, practice for Regents exams, or extra practice between sessions, I'm here to help. Parents are encouraged to share their concerns or hopes for their student's progress. Let me know what would be most helpful, and I'm happy to make a plan together.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you grow as a writer!
