As a tutor for Wyzant for more than six years, my skill is guiding students with patience and creativity as we learn correct writing, grammar, and organizational skills. My students range in ages from elementary 4th grade through college level, and up to adults who might need clear communication skills at work. My tutoring is directed for the individual student needs. My goal is to assist the student to learn through completion of an assignment, whether it be through school or one we create....

Really helped with college essays!
I asked Marlene for help writing essays for 6 different colleges. A tall order to be sure, but fortunately Marlene is a great tutor. Over the course of several weeks, she diligently worked through each of my papers with me, pointing out grammar mistakes and giving incredibly helpful suggestions as to how I can improve the communication of my ideas in my writing overall.
Rachel, 5 lessons with MarleneTutor responded:Rachel, It was a pleasure helping you!
very patient
She is very patient, and provided us with a lot of useful information and advise. Very good at explaining materials for test and provide efficient directions. But at this point it is too time consuming for Gorden to take AP English language and composition by self study. So he decided not to continue. But if he wants to improve writing skills, we will come back and study with you.

Knowledgeable and conscientious
Marlene worked with me in my college essay. She helped me organize and structure my rough draft. She then worked with me to make sure my “story” didn’t overshadow my voice. I reallly enjoyed working with Marlene!

Provides Follow up and Brainstorming - Great Tutor
Marlene led a great discussion with my son about his AP Lit assignment. She asked questions to help my son think about the themes and how to organize his ideas. She sent a summary and specific steps for him to follow up with her. He seemed more confident and less stressed after talking with her about the assignment.
JC, 8 lessons with MarleneTutor responded:I am pleased that JC and I were able to work through some of the first stage jitters. He is certainly not alone; even the seasoned writers go through it. I look forward to helping JC moving along to a completed essay that he feels good about.
Knowledgeable and Patient
My Mom was intimidated by computer usage but it became a requirement for her job. I found Marlene on WyzAnt and she has been an absolute lifesaver. Her patience and kindness instantly put my Mom at ease and it created a safe environment that allowed my mother to move at her own pace. I am so proud of the progress my Mom has made and I owe it to Marlene. She consistently goes above and beyond. Thank you, Marlene!
Hayat, 86 lessons with MarleneTutor responded:Hayat, Thank you for a wonderful review. I have really enjoyed working with your Mom and watching her amazing progress. She is a very smart lady who just needed to get over her fears of the different applications she needed to do on the computer for her work. I was pleased to help her with that growth, and I think she has helped me in many ways! Take care, Marlene
Expert editing advice
Wonderful editing advice and very reachable via email and phone. Marlene edited my Masters essay after I worked with another tutor to write it and she did a great job helping me a second opinion.
Gia, 2 lessons with MarleneTutor responded:Gia, Thank you for your comment. It was a pleasure helping you with a second opinion. I very much appreciated that you were direct with what edits you wanted and did not want, and worked quickly on your essay and resume so you could get them submitted soon. It was great working with you. Best of luck!

Knowledgeable, patient, and caring tutor.
Marlene is a great tutor. Although we contacted her in an emergency situation, she took the time to help my daughter with her essay. Her comments helped her a lot!

Marlene is a great instructor!
My 10-year old son really enjoyed working with Marlene and he gained a new confidence with writing. She worked extensively with him on breaking down the writing into manageable pieces and translating his thoughts into complete sentences. She also worked on paragraph structure and ensuring that he expanded the content to be more than just the bare bones. We are very glad we had Marlene come work with him and would highly recommend her as a writing tutor.
