Award Winning English Prof Makes Writing Easy

I have been teaching freshmen college students from developmental to advanced since 1994. My freshmen composition students my second year teaching at IUS, 9 out of 14 of them placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in national and state essay contests writing on Toni Morrison's _Beloved_ which is a challenge. I won the Distinguished Teaching Award that semester and year, beating out all the faculty there with years of history with them. I loved bringing the wonder and joy of books to students and am very good at making r reading "addicts" out of even reluctant readers because I look into them and can sense the perfect book to get them HOOKED. One of the best ways to get in shape for college comp I an II ... f you purchase your son, daughter, or self, clusters of five classes and you want to master every form the college essays you'll write even at the M.A. level. During these clusters, I'll use those five classes and help you really master every form of essay you'll encounter from argumentative/persuasive to informative, to the descriptive essay, and compare/contrast (harder than it sounds). Then we'll tackle the "critical thinking paper. It will take about 25 classes to get you doing advanced research papers of A quality but when you can do that, you are assuring your son, daughter, or self a future of more academic success than you would have enjoyed, because now you'll know how to handle every type of writing assignment you'll encounter till you graduate and beyond.

College Application and Essay Consultant

As a college professor, I have inside knowledge of how universities work, what competitive universities look for in the students they admit, and how to boost holistic student success. I became interested in college admissions when my son was a senior in high school. As I helped him research his options and increase his chances of admission into highly selective universities, I realized that there is a daunting amount of information that most students and parents don’t have. I took it upon myself to become an expert in multiple aspects of the college admissions process, including: • Building a holistic extracurricular profile • Navigating AP and dual-enrollment credit • Selecting appropriate reach, target, and safety schools • Developing a compelling Common App essay • Writing and organizing strong supplemental essays • Navigating early decision, early action, and regular decision deadlines • SAT and ACT testing, including when to apply test-optional • Differences between the Common App, Coalition App, and University of California App • Financial Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS (College Board) Profile I am enthusiastic about passing along the knowledge and experience I have gained to other students and their families! I can offer comprehensive college admissions consulting or provide targeted assistance in any of these areas. As the author of six published books and dozens of published essays, I can also offer expert writing advice to help students create college essays that get them noticed.

Critically-acclaimed memoirist teaching students to write their stories

Writing a college admissions essay can be stressful and really frustrating. There’s a lot of pressure to make it perfect! Ugh, there’s nothing worse than that feeling for a writer. My job as a tutor is twofold: one, to make the process easier and more enjoyable, and two, to give students writing skills that will help with all the essays and papers still to come in college. The best way to do this, I find, is to break the writing process down into small steps. First, we'll talk. I'll prompt you to open up about your life experiences, what you have to offer prospective schools and future classmates, and what you hope to gain from the college experience. From there we'll start to do some free and easy writing. This will just be low stakes sprinting, i.e. writing as fast as you can to a prompt, usually with a five or ten minute timer set. The sprints will start to loosen up your writing mind and give us some words to work with. Once you start to build a pile of words we’ll be able to recognize what it is exactly you want to say. From there we can identify parts that could serve as your essay's beginning, middle and end. Once we have that basic shape in place we can start to revise. In other words we'll read your draft over several times with an eye for making each sentence as clear as possible. Let me say it again: my job here has two parts. One is to make writing the college admissions essay as fun and stress-free as possible, the other is to help you learn to write the kind of effective essay you’ll be producing over the next four years of college and beyond. I look forward to writing with you!
