During the school year, Andrea integrates her writing instruction with Social Studies and English tutoring or with college application essay editing. Over the summer, Andrea tutors writing as a special, customized, enrichment module. Whether you are in middle school, high school, or college, she can help you to master the art of writing!

These experiences have strengthened my ability to guide students through the processes of crafting creative short stories, academic essays, research papers, narrative essays (like the Common App personal statement, supplemental essays, and the UC application essays), and literature reviews. As a result of sessions with Andrea, you will become a clear, compelling writer, thus maximize your academic and admissions success. Andrea will teach you how to strengthen and prove an argument, or to present a unique story through showing, not telling.

Extremely thorough and enthusiastic tutor.

Andrea always had an engaging lesson plan for my son which included reviewing key terms, lots of writing and detailed review of the material. He learned SO much more history than he otherwise would have in his large high school classes. My son also said "I became a much better writer because of Andrea."

Outstanding Writing Tutor for Summer Research Programs

Andrea has helped my daughter in writing essays for summer research programs. Andrea was very knowledgeable and experienced in the essay writing process from brainstorming to reviewing. Also, she was willing to make time for reviewing the essays at short notice. My daughter has already been admitted to some research programs, and we are so thankful for Andrea’s excellent help. Highly recommend her for a writing tutor!

Extremely helpful

Not only is Andrea knowledgeable about AP World History, but she goes over & beyond what is discussed during the actual tutoring session with my son. She has devised a plan with priorities to keep him on track for the AP World History exam in May. She has also been messaging lots of links with information about the AP World History exam and extra material to prepare for the exam. It is obvious that she is passionate about helping kids succeed and it shows in how thorough she is.

As a transfer student doing the application process on my own, she was extremely understanding and patient. Not only was she a wonderful help with my essays but also the best with brainstorming and so incredibly knowledgeable about how unique the transfer process is compared to applying in high school.

Outstanding Human Geography Tutor

Andrea is extremely knowledgeable about the field of human geography. I like the way she structures the lesson plans and zones in on what the student needs to know, while providing the necessary background information. In addition to being a subject matter expert, Andrea is very student centered and patient. Communication is excellent after each lesson as she provides a summary of what was covered. The virtual tutoring is very convenient. Highly recommend Andrea as a tutor.

Karol, 13 lessons with Andrea

Knowledgeable and professional with excellent follow up

Andrea was able to schedule time on short notice. She is extremely knowledgeable, not only about the subject matter, but about how to prepare for an AP exam. She followed up with details after each tutoring session, and then again after the exam.
