Published Writer for Test Prep and English Literature Tutoring

Emma D.

I am a published fiction writer who is passionate about all things literature! I have a B.A. with honors from University College London, and I am an M.F.A. candidate in Creative Writing at New York University.

I am a college prepatory tutor with experience helping students to brainstorm and draft their college essays. My fiction has been published in print and online, and I have years of experience proofreading and editing college essays, high school essays, and college applications. I look forward to helping with your English Language and Literature studies as well as with test preparation for the literature and writing sections of college admissions tests.

I studied English Language and Literature in a rigorous course at University College London. I chose to complete my undergraduate studies in London because I wanted to focus solely on studying language and literature. During my degree I completed independent research projects on Toni Morrison and Thomas Pynchon, the use of the Western canon in contemporary Indian literature, and linguistic code-switching in Black literature and memoir. My creative writing studies have given me extensive workshopping experience, and I love to read and edit fiction as well as nonfiction. I achieved grades of 5 on the AP exams in English Language and English Literature, and I achieved a grade of 780 on the SAT English subject test. My fiction won the 2018 UCL Publisher's Prize and was shortlisted for the 53rd Jerry Jazz Musician Short Fiction Contest.

I am available to tutor weekly or biweekly, and I am happy to create study schedules to prepare for standardized testing. Please contact me to schedule a lesson or test prep session!
