About Colten


Bio

As a longtime tutor, I thrive on helping my students succeed in the things *they* are excited about. Do you need feedback on your creative writing project to turn that great idea into excellent prose? Or do you want a stronger grasp of English to make progress in your career? I'm here to make those aspirations a reality.

I have 4+ years experience tutoring both K-12 and adult students on ACT prep, writing (creative and essay), and English as a 2nd language. My bachelor's degree was in both...

As a longtime tutor, I thrive on helping my students succeed in the things *they* are excited about. Do you need feedback on your creative writing project to turn that great idea into excellent prose? Or do you want a stronger grasp of English to make progress in your career? I'm here to make those aspirations a reality.

I have 4+ years experience tutoring both K-12 and adult students on ACT prep, writing (creative and essay), and English as a 2nd language. My bachelor's degree was in both English and Accounting (with a minor in Writing) at Washington University in St. Louis, and I followed it with an MFA in Creative Writing from Seton Hill University in 2021. Since then I've published both short stories and poetry while expanding my professional career.

Students most appreciate me for my patient instruction style, and for my clear, constructive feedback. My goal is to always have students leave a session with me feeling more capable and more excited than when they began. I begin sessions with a new student asking about their goals, what they know of their personal learning styles, and how I can be most useful to them. I am adaptive in my instruction, and will go over material as many times as necessary.

Approved Subjects

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I studied for 2.5 years at Seton Hill University, earning my Master's degree in Writing Popular Fiction. While there, I studied how to provide critique in a way that supported writers while making their work stronger; how to craft engaging, technically proficient prose; and how to engage with the writing industry as a whole. In the time since graduating, I have published short stories and poetry alike and continue to engage in critique work with other writers.
English

English

I received my a B.A. in English with a minor in Writing from Washington University in St. Louis. I have tutored students in essay writing, reading comprehension, and English as a Second Language. Students have said they value my patient, clear explanations, as well as my thorough knowledge of English grammatical structure.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

As part of the volunteer Literacy Pittsburgh program here in my home city, I have been tutoring English to people for whom it's a second language for nearly two years. Before that, I've worked with students—children and adults alike—in developing their written English skills for the purpose of college essays, job applications, or simply to increase their proficiency with the language.
Writing

Writing

In 2018 I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a B.A. in English with a minor in Writing. From there I went on to obtain my master's degree. I have tutored students of all ages in topics ranging from personal essays to professional applications, and from scientific research papers to creative novels.
