Fantastic writing tutor!
Meredith helped me with my graduate school application essays - she was SO unbelievably helpful. She taught me skills that I can apply to my future writing, something I haven't felt after working with other writing tutors in the past. She's also fun to talk to and collaborate with, and I always felt motivated to write after meeting with her - very rare for me. Could not recommend her more!!
