Hi there, I’m Maggie! I graduated magna cum laude from Rice University with a BA in English and Visual Arts. I have always had a passion for teaching students how to express themselves with confidence and clarity through writing.

For two years, I volunteered with Momentum Education as an essay editor and English tutor for underprivileged high school students in Houston, Texas. My experiences included editing services for college application essays as well one-on-one tutoring for students in English classes, including AP Literature. During my time, I loved helping students craft personal statements that truly represented their interests and made them stand out.

I have always believed that good writing is good thinking. In my tutoring and editing approach, I go beyond basic proofreading and ask young writers questions to encourage to them to critically think over what it is they want to express and why. Teaching students how to write well gives them a solid foundation for effective, persuasive communication that they can leverage in all majors and careers.

I’ve joined Wyzant as a tutor to further make an impact on students who want to improve their writing skills. Though most of my tutoring and editing experience has been centered on college application essays, I also greatly enjoy assisting students with all other forms of writing, including academic essays, AP and SAT literature prep, and creative writing.

I primarily work remotely, but am open to discussing in-person tutoring and editing if you are in the Houston area.

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

For my senior thesis at Rice University, I created a collection of creative writing pieces, including both creative nonfiction (i.e. personal essays) and fiction, that reflected on personal identity and cultural heritage. My pieces have been published in literary and arts journals such as Pine Hill Reviews, Random Sample Review, and Furrow.
Drawing

Drawing

As a Visual Arts student at Rice, I studied various studio art mediums including painting, drawing, print-making, and sculpting with award-winning art professors. My focus was on photorealistic drawing and collage. I particularly loved drawing portraits of loved ones using charcoal and graphite. Several of my art pieces were featured in literary and creative publications, such as Sine Theta Magazine, Long River Revier, and R2: The Rice Review.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I graduated magna cum laude from Rice University with a dual BA degree in English and Visual Arts. During that time, I wrote essays in classes ranging in topics from 18th-century British novels to contemporary literature. My GPA was 3.95. I thoroughly enjoyed writing essays as a student and look forward to helping young writers revise their essays through Wyzant.
