Experienced Writing Tutor

Serena S.

Hello!
I am a graduate of New York University and a current graduate student with over four years of experience providing academic tutoring at the college level, as well as comprehensive support throughout the college admissions process.
In my work with high school and college-level writers, including my experience as a tutor at the NYU Writing Center, I have helped students improve their academic writing skills through detailed, constructive feedback and individualized instruction. I teach essential strategies that enable students to write with clarity, organization, and confidence. I offer guidance at every stage of the writing process, from initial brainstorming and outlining to final revisions.
I have a particular interest in assisting students with college application essays. I understand that the admissions process can often be overwhelming, and my objective is to demystify it by offering clear, actionable feedback in a supportive environment. I assist students in developing compelling essay topics, refining their ideas, and producing polished, error-free final drafts that reflect their authentic voice. In addition, I am available to support students with program selection, admissions planning, résumé and extracurricular list development, and effective responses to supplemental essay prompts.
Beyond college admissions, I also tutor AP and college-level courses in the humanities (English, history) and social sciences (sociology, anthropology, psychology). I have significant experience working with English language learners and students with learning differences, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each student.
I welcome inquiries from prospective students and offer complimentary consultations.
