She became my writing tutor during this summer. She was extremely patient and careful in going over every detail in my writings, helping me correct any mistakes she could find. With her help, I finally passed college writing requirement after failing for several times. Becky also exchanged her writing experience with me, telling me useful information and interesting stories about western literature and writing, which I didn't know as an international student.

My son’s writing skill was poor before he worked with Sheryl. I could not imagine that on-line tutoring given by Sheryl could be this effective! My son has benefited greatly and has shown great improvement in his writing, especially he showed great improvement in writing more complicated and grammatically correct sentences. He needs lots of writing in his current English subject. I can fell he really benefits from working with Sheryl.

In order to improve his writing skill and boost his interest and confident in writing, I found Phoebe as his writing tutor. Phoebe helped to motivate my son with the writing topics that are interested to him, from computer games, science discoveries, economy, to political topics etc. She taught him to how to build a frame of the assay, and how to add transitions to make the assay flow better.
