About Miles

Bio

Hi, I'm Miles! I graduated cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in English. In the course of writing everything from travel guidebooks to poetry to political campaign statements to PR copy, I've come to understand the drafting and editing process intimately. I'd like not just to help you cross T's and dot i's, but to be your human vision board -- helping you craft unique approaches to make you and your writing stand out.

Hi, I'm Miles! I graduated cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in English. In the course of writing everything from travel guidebooks to poetry to political campaign statements to PR copy, I've come to understand the drafting and editing process intimately. I'd like not just to help you cross T's and dot i's, but to be your human vision board -- helping you craft unique approaches to make you and your writing stand out. Whether you're getting ready to apply to college, need a second set of eyes on a paper, or anything else, I'm glad to lend my expertise.

I've led workshops, assisted dissertations, and guided dozens of college applicants to acceptances at Harvard, Stanford, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, MIT-Sloan, UPitt's 8-year medical program, London School of Economics, NYU, and UCal Berkeley.

In high school, I was named a National Student Poet by the Library of Congress and traveled around the US giving readings and advocating for creative writing (and got to meet the Obamas!). After four years at Harvard, I moved to New York City, where I play write and make music.

My specialties: Essay editing/proofreading, creative writing, literature, history, test prep (SAT/ACT, ISEE/SSAT, AP)

Looking forward to getting to know you!

A NOTE ABOUT BILLING FOR REMOTE EDITING

Before I begin a remote edit, I will give you a quote. This quote is expressed in hourly increments, per Wyzant’s billing system, but it is more accurately seen as a combination of cost per word + an estimate of how much work the writing needs (anything from from deep reworking to a cursory grammar check).

My students regularly tell me that the essays they write are more creative, better organized, and help them stand out from their peers'. Can't wait to work with you!

Practical and thorough comments to essay.

We reached out to Miles to help with my son's high school essay assignment. His comments were thorough and he gave practical advice on how to improve the work. We have worked with other writing tutors and feel that Miles' help was the most complete and allowed my son to think outside the box!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Miles is an excellent tutor for my young niece. He has a very comfortable rapport even in a remote online setting, and that made learning very comfortable for her. He was very conscientious in his communications with me as well. I'm very happy that she is in the purview of a very skilled, highly qualified and empathetic teacher.
