Lehigh University Writing & Essay Tutor | Grades 6–12 & College Essays

Margaret M.

I am currently a student at Lehigh University studying philosophy with an additional academic focus in real estate and religion. I graduated from high school in three years and was accepted to every university I applied to, thanks to my strong, personalized college application essays that reflected the strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills I now help students develop. My academic training in philosophy emphasizes clear argumentation, careful reading, and strong essay structure, all of which are essential skills for middle and high school students working on English assignments, research papers, and college application essays.

During high school I participated in peer tutoring, working one-on-one with other students to help them strengthen their writing, reading comprehension, and general study skills. This experience taught me how to explain ideas clearly, break down assignments step by step, and help students build confidence in their academic abilities. In addition, I currently work as a library assistant at Lehigh University, where I spend much of my time in an academic environment centered on research, reading, and supporting students in their learning process.

My tutoring focuses primarily on English, reading comprehension, and writing for students in grades 6–12, as well as college application personal statements and essays. I work individually with students to improve essay organization, develop stronger arguments, and refine grammar and writing clarity. Rather than simply correcting mistakes, I guide students through the writing process so they learn to structure their thoughts, support ideas with evidence, and become more confident writers and readers. My goal is not only to help students complete a specific assignment, but to help them build the academic skills and confidence that will benefit them long-term.
