James MasnovMonmouth, ORHistorian/Writer/Lecturer
As a published writer, professor, and someone who has written countless essays and evaluated countless more, I am uniquely positioned to assist students with their writing.
My experience with tutoring or teaching students of various grades/levels/ages goes includes much of the past decade, whether as a professor, a writing tutor for various tutoring services, an academic writing tutor for a community college, an essay evaluator for the history department of a prominent university, or as a tutor in a private, self-employed capacity.
I have helped students with their essay writing in numerous subjects and disciplines, including history, political science, pre-law/legal studies, various social science subjects (sociology, criminal justice, psychology, etc), English (composition and/or English lit., etc.
If a student needs help with writing essays, regardless of subject or topic, I can help them significantly, not only in reaching their goals of finishing assignments, but in honing their research and writing skills overall.
My background, including experience as a professor and academic writing tutor, includes a master's degree in history from Portland State University and a bachelor's degree in history from Western Oregon University. I have won awards for my own essay writing over the years, and my writing has been published in various outlets. Numerous articles of mine have been published in both academic and general-interest publications, and my book about the history of the Supreme Court was published by McFarland Press in 2023.
Writing is a crucial skill. Writing does not merely allow us to share our thoughts. It actually helps us to think more critically, exercise our abstract reasoning, and understand the importance of evidence-based argumentation. I can help students hone these skills. I know this because I have a record of doing so, and it is something I very much enjoy. Students are empowered when they can write engagingly and convincingly.
