17 diction lessons

Not really knowing Sara and how this would go, I just went for one lesson. My daughter told me how great Sara was and how exciting that lesson was. That was exactly what I wanted to hear! So that first lesson was followed by a few more and I have seen and heard the marked improvement in my daughter's speech - pronunciation, diction, thoughtful sentences, and her consciouselimination of unnecessary crutch words (as in, "like", "i mean","you know").

1 diction lesson

As a student in Creative Writing at Columbia University in the City of New York, I am surrounded by quality resources and highly effective writing tutors. Of these, Sean struck me, from his first comments regarding diction, as an excellent option when I need assistance and his flexibility allowed for us to meet on short notice, making him the perfect choice for an urgent assignment.
Amy G.

5 diction lessons

I would get overwhelmed, worrying that what I would send to my colleges wouldn’t be good enough. I felt I really needed someone else’s opinion on my writing. I’m so glad that I chose Miranda to help me with my essays. She helped me to improve my diction, as well as the structure of which I wrote my essays. I appreciate her patience and enthusiasm that she showed me during our writing sessions.
