Experienced English Tutor for Writing, Grammar, and Editing Help

Mahati S.

I have been tutoring since 2022 in a wide range of subjects, with a strong emphasis on English, writing, and language arts. I specialize in areas such as grammar, reading comprehension, proofreading, college essay writing, personal statements, and International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework. Additionally, I have experience helping students prepare for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, particularly in the verbal and writing sections. My tutoring approach is adaptive and student-centered, focusing on building clarity, confidence, and critical thinking in writing and reading.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Columbia University, where I majored in Human Rights and Political Science—fields that required advanced analytical writing, close reading, and editing skills. I am currently pursuing a Master of Legal Studies at Texas A&M University School of Law, which has further honed my legal writing, research, and communication skills. Throughout my academic journey, I have been recognized for excellence in writing and scholarship, including being named to the Dean’s List and inducted into Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society.

Beyond academics, I’ve gained hands-on experience through roles like Peer Mentor and Residential Assistant at Barnard, where I helped students improve their academic writing, manage time effectively, and develop better communication habits. I’ve also worked as a Preceptor, supporting professors in creating engaging learning environments. My tutoring is informed by patience, structure, and a passion for helping students express their ideas clearly. Whether you're working on a personal statement, struggling with grammar, or aiming for top marks on the SAT or ACT, I'm here to help you succeed with personalized, effective guidance.
