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!
Jill B.

1 lesson

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!

Her impressive experience within the realm of the humanities can bring with it a guiding hand to anyone who is looking to hone there voice and reach its untapped potential. The extensive notes she also provides will also help you break out of bad patterns. Having already planned our next lesson, I know for a fact I will become a stronger writer and communicator having worked with Emily.
