Hello! I am Grant Bergland, a creative and academic writing coach. I work primarily with college and grad students to conquer their writing and research projects to dissertations (and everything in between). I also edit and proofread Fiction and Nonfiction novels, short stories, and poetry. I hold an MFA in Writing from Columbia and taught writing at Columbia University and The New School in New York City. At The New Yorker, I worked with the best writers in the country competing at the highest level who needed to submit their work on-time or early. My extensive experience has translated into a long and successful history of helping students find excellence in their writing in record time.
For the last 24 years, I’ve helped middle school, high school, and college students earn top 1% SAT, ACT, ISEE, and GRE scores. As a writing coach, I’ve helped students from short essays to creative work to dissertations. My philosophy now is the same as it has always been: I do not just help you get an A+ on that assignment, I teach you the tools you need to earn an A+ on your own in the future, again and again.
I am a former instructor at Columbia University, worked at The New Yorker magazine, and was a High School English teacher for 10 years. I know how to compete with the top 1%, write the most compelling applications, and (best of all) teach all of my tricks and strategies.
Earning the best score on the SAT and using it to launch yourself into a great college and an amazing life is a noble dream. Writing a personal statement to demonstrate how you belong in an amazing program is another noble dream. I want to help you make your dreams come true and leave you with more than you had before every time we meet.
I also provide tutoring in: Proofreading, Grammar, Biology, Physics, Geology, Philosophy (Ancient to Modern), Microeconomics, AP Psychology, AP US History, AP World History, and the production of any paper for any class.
