B.A. in English, M.Ed.in Editing, Writing, and Grammar
I approach tutoring with a pedagogy informed by a deep appreciation for maintaining the writer's voice while guiding them toward writing that is clear, concise, and polished. As a high school AP English teacher, College Admission Ass. Director, University Writing Tutor, and Editor, I've been responding to all types of student writing for over 20 years.

Academic Writing: I individualize each session by collaborating with the student to establish the agenda and prioritize the objectives. I ask clarifying questions, indicate issues, and model solutions tailored to the unique demands of each student and each task. My in-depth analysis of writing strengths and weaknesses helps students improve the important skill of revision, the key to improving their writing. Whether I am helping them with the first steps of idea generation or polishing the final draft of a dissertation, my students find their writing is more productive, strategic, deliberate, and graceful.

PhD Dissertations: My editing in all disciplines is designed to prepare the document for submission to professional journals. I use style guides to align texts with organizational requirements. I offer 3 levels of editing, each using a multi-pass, multi-faceted process to ensure the document is correct, consistent, accurate, and complete and that the organization, visual design and the style of the document supports reader comprehension and use of the document.

SAT/ACT/AP: My approach to test prep focuses on students' mastering both the content and test-taking strategies. I create specifically targeted lessons to address each student's weaknesses. These in-depth lessons help students understand their mistakes in order to avoid making them again-- a key strategy for improving scores. After working with me, my students find that they are less stressed and retain the new reading, grammar, and writing skills they've acquired.

ACT English

My ACT English tutoring plan helps students develop a strong skill set to master the three parts of the English exam: Grammar, usage, and rhetoric, Reading, and Writing. I individualize the plan to meet each student’s goal for the ACT--whether it’s to improve grammar and usage, reading, writing, or all three. English Grammar and Usage: Students learn to quickly identify and correct errors in the grammar and usage conventions typically used on the exam. These conventions, which comprise 40 out of the 75 English questions, are: Punctuation: internal and end-of-sentence punctuation, with emphasis on the relationship of punctuation to meaning and avoiding ambiguity. Grammar and usage: agreement between subject & verb, pronoun & antecedent, and modifiers & the word modified; verbs and verbals; tense and aspect; and idiomatic usage Sentence Structures: compound and complex sentences, relationships between and among clauses, conjunctions, placement of modifiers, shifts in construction and focus, a Rhetoric: phrases, nominal structures, revising for clarity and conciseness Reading: Students learn ways to quickly analyze the four subject passages-- social studies, natural sciences, literature, and humanities— to identify the main idea, compare ideas, generalize ideas, identify relationships such as cause-and-effect, and define words based on context Writing: Students learn to use advanced rhetoric to write a unified, coherent essay that clearly states an insightful perspective on an issue and supports a nuanced, precise thesis. They learn to develop the significance of the issue in logical and organized paragraphs. Test-taking Strategies: Students learn to unpack each multiple-choice item and eliminate wrong answers. They learn to engage with the readings and pay close attention to questions. They learn strategies for when they are stuck on a question, word, or section of a passage. They learn the difference between reading, skimming, and scanning. And last, but certainly not least, they learn how to manage

I began my graduate studies in education with courses such as Reading and Learning Disabilities, Assessment and Diagnostic Teaching of Reading, Human Development and Reading, and Literacy for the Exceptional Child. As a high school English teacher, I was committed to improving the literacy challenges of my students who struggled with reading. While I’m a born reader, I wanted to understand how the brain learns to read and why decoding skills frustrated bright students. My strong background in graduate-level instruction in reading and my experience in teaching reading as a high school English teacher allow me to offer personalized reading instruction to any student. Whether my students are preparing for the ACT, SAT Reading exams or reading literature and poetry for high school or college assignments, they all enjoy gains in their reading comprehension and speed.

I help students write their best possible college application essays by guiding them through the steps of the writing task: understand the demands of the prompt, generate ideas at the pre-writing stage, elaborate and revise the rough draft, and proofread the final copy. Throughout the process, my students strengthen their ideas, spot weak rhetorical and organization choices and make appropriate ones, and correct grammar and other surface-level concerns. After working with me, students have developed a polished essay written in their own voice. The result is a more confident student and a personal essay that is immersive, thought-provoking, and natural-sounding. My college admission background as an associate director at a highly selective college has given me special insight in how to guide prospective students throughout the entire application process--from helping with admission and scholarship essays, to assisting with matriculation and enrollment.

Knowledgeable, Flexible, & All-Around Amazing English Tutor

Marianne is an incredible tutor who is a great help in many different ways. It is evident that Marianne loves tutoring and enjoys helping students out. She is an excellent SAT Prep tutor who helped me understand how the exam functions and how to succeed on it. Marianne can also help with schoolwork; she reviews my English papers and makes sure they are coherent and mistake-free. Not only that, but Marianne also creates excellent lessons; she teaches higher-level literature topics and explains them really well. Overall, Marianne is an amazing English tutor and I give her 5 stars.

Tanya, 72 lessons with Marianne

Best tutor!!!

I would recommend Marianne wholeheartedly to anyone looking to improve their writing, reading, and SAT. Marianne has been an excellent tutor for my daughter for the last two years now. She absolutely cares about her students and adjusts her teaching style for each student’s need. She has this natural talent to make writing seem easy, encouraging my daughter to think critically about her views and suggest options to improve her writing. Thanks to Marrianne, my daughter no longer fears writing! We are so thankful that we found her on this platform. Hire her, and you will not regret it!!!

Class Act Tutor

Marianne is truly a class act, and I have had a wonderful experience with her. I am a transfer student from a community college applying to prestigious colleges this year, so I was having a hard time finding an editor that understands the expectations and requirements for transfer students. Marianne is incredibly knowledgable about not just college admissions, but also what is needed to write amazing college essays. I worked with Marianne to brainstorm and compose all of my college essays, and Marianne assisted and mentored me so that my essays were not only amazing and interesting for the admissions reader, but also pieces of writing that I was genuinely proud of. Marianne is quite direct, but she is also receptive and understanding of the student’s needs, and does a great job of molding her teaching molds to the student. As of writing this review, I haven’t heard back yet from the colleges I have applied too, but I have high hopes about the decisions thanks to Marianne’s help, and I will also provide a follow-up to this review when I hear back from the colleges :).

Marianne is a Super Star

To Marianne and Wyzant: I am writing this letter to anyone who is thinking of hiring an editor. I highly recommend Marianne; she has worked with me to get a large body of writing on my PhD dissertation done. She worked tirelessly and patiently with me for several months, and she always stayed ahead of me, never making me wait for her feedback. In fact, her diligence with spurred me on to excel and to write even more. The way she made my ill-written foolishness actually look good, and her mastery of grammar and punctuation is refreshing in a day when good writing practices are lacking. I can not say enough about how much Marianne has helped me. Together, we went through well over 150 pages and her masterful editor’s touch was gentle and did not disturb my voice in the body of work. What she did was help my voice make sense. Again, I must say, Marianne is a top academic editor, and I am considering using her again for another academic writing project.

Exceptional Tutor and Editor

Marianne's expertise is in helping you to make your writing succinct, persuasive, and thoughtful. She is truly a master in the art of writing and not only edits, but thinks critically about your message and provides suggestions that hone your argument. Your writing will certainly improve, but even more so, Marianne will ensure that your message is persuasive and communicated effectively. She is that good. I don't want to imagine where I would be on my writing journey if I had not worked with Marianne, and I really think that you should, too. :)

Great Tutor/Editor! Definitely recommend!

Marianne is an amazing tutor who has helped me prepare for the SAT and for class essays. I have been working with her for a long time and it is evident that she strives to improve not only her students' writing but their approach to writing. As for the SAT, she provides me with tips that make the SAT reading and writing section much less intimidating and even creates personalized lessons to improve my weaknesses. She is an expert writer and the best tutor I have had. Thank you so much Marianne!

DO NOT HIRE HER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO REGRET!!!

My experience with her was a total disaster. She wasted both my time and money. She was supposed to edit and proofread my thesis. On her profile, she writes that she is professional in editing theses/dissertations, etc. Unfortunately, this information is a complete lie. She neither has excellence in academic English nor the intellectual capacity to edit and proofread academic pieces/articles. Please, don't be naive to be attracted by her promises to work with her, especially if your level is college and above. She might be a good profile to tutor a child, but she is extremely far from being an editor. Unfortunately, I had to send my thesis to another editor for a professional proofreading and editing service. She has wasted my three days (waiting for her to complete the 4 hours of work) and 200 dollars for nothing valuable in return. I explained to her that I did not apply any changes she had made as an editor since her service was deficient and shallow and that I wanted my money back. At first, she apologized to me and sent my money back by voiding the service. However, a few days later, she messaged me back and immorally refused to refund my money and said that repaying me would lower her self-esteem; thus, she recharged me $200. I have recognized that she is not just an incompetent proofreader/editor but also lacks moral qualities.

Murat, 2 lessons with Marianne
Tutor responded:

Hello Murat, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with my editing services. As I mentioned to you earlier, I reinstated the proofreading session, for which you had angrily insisted you were not going to pay, because it never should have been voided in the first place. The 4 hour proofreading session should have remained because I should have been paid for my editing work, which was superb. I only acquiesced to the vitriolic rhetoric in your messages because I saw in them all the earmarks of someone wanting to get out of paying for services they contracted for and a product they received. For the first time ever in my long, successful career as an academic editor, I felt like I was being scammed. It was easier for me to just acquiesce, void my 4 hours of editing work, and move on. However, after much deliberation and lengthy conversations with several Wyzant representatives, I realized that I shouldn't have succumbed to your bulling me into giving you what you wanted (an excellently edited draft) for free. After your refusal to pay for what you received, I should have reminded you about my many messages asking you if we could have a conversation to discuss your reaction. I should have reminded you that you gave me explicit permission in writing to do what I needed to do to "make my paper better", which I did through my suggested edits using track changes. I should have reminded you that all you would have needed to do if you weren't satisfied with a particular edit is to simply click "reject" and it would disappear. By reinstating the lesson, I am doing what is right by protecting my self-esteem and reputation as a professional editor. For nearly a decade, I've been working with graduate students, doctoral students, and university faculty from all academic disciplines. I had been trained as an academic editor at one of the best writing centers in the county. I have always received glowing compliments about my skill as an editor who is sensitive to maintaining the author's voice while using my exte

She is an amazing tutor

I finally found the right tutor for academic writing. Marianne provided me with clear feedback and good suggestions for improving my writing. I will stay with her and I will keep her in my mind for the future. Thank you very much Marianne! You really deserve 5 stars.

Marianne helped with editing documents. She had a very fast turn around, and offered very helpful suggestions. Turnaround time was less than 12 hours, every time. Highly recommended.
