I had four sessions with Genevieve. I'm a current grad student in Creative Non-fiction writing. Genevieve helped me review a few of my essays from class. She was very patient with me. I asked her a lot of questions and she was nice about explaining words and grammar rules to me. She was kind and understanding as we walked through the things I needed to work on. I would recommend her to anyone!

He walked me through every step of organization for creative writing, non-fiction writing, and strategies for impromptu verbal presentations. In addition, he provided several prompts, step by step instructions, and organizational templates to practice with that will strengthen my written and verbal communication. I was surprised how much he covered in one lesson. Vis is the kind of passionate tutor/teacher that leaves his students feeling excited to learn and develop their communication skills!

Brandy could not have been a better English writing tutor for our 14 year old daughter. Brandy is highly skilled, energetic, patient and friendly. Our daughter has shown a high interest in creative writing, so we wanted to give her her owner writing coach to allow our daughters her interest aside from the parameters of school assignments, and Brandy right there helping her grammar, types of argument, fiction and non-fiction writing. I can't imagine a better online writing coach for a teen then Brandy!
