2 essay lessons

He addressed all of my worries. Mr Kevin is an incredibly knowledgeable and efficient tutor - he helped me transform my blunt, and disorganized essay into one that successfully describes the student in the best way possible! In a way, that I myself, ironically, couldn’t have. Not only did he give me substantial feedback on my essay, but he told me where to improve, and helped me refine the structure of my essay, making it flow much better than it use to.
John E.

5 essay lessons

I remembered showing my college English professor an essay that Tara and I had previously worked on. He said, "John, this essay is beautiful." The essay was so compelling that he started crying! Yes you heard that right! The essay resonated not only with him but with me as well. With Tara's help, I was able to transform a somewhat generic essay to an authentic masterpiece that I can't stop reading. I knew I had found the right person to work with!
Maureen P.

6 essay lessons

Prior to the tutoring session, Danny requested a copy of my son's essay so that he could get a sense of his writing and decide on how to best proceed. That worked out very well because he was able to jump right into the essay. Not only is Danny is a great writer, but he is able to teach well. My son's essay lacked focus so Danny helped him stay on topic and gave him guidance for future writings. He also encouraged my son by pointing out the strengths in the essay.
