Andrea Alig
Terre Haute, IN

Creative, Expert, Reading Teacher and Storyteller

I am a professional writer, both fiction and nonfiction. I have taught nonfiction writing for the last 20 years. My students learn that although the format for essay writing is strict and the rules are unvaried; the topics to be chosen for writing are infinite! The sky is not the limit; the sky "is the floor!" When students enter my classroom, no matter what they feel or think about writing, they come out winners. They discover that even essay writing can be fun and expressive. My qualifications are as follows: I have a B.A. in English and Theater and received a full 4 year scholarship to the University of CT. I am also a University of CT. scholar. I also have an M.S. in special education from Central CT State University where I received a full 2 year fellowship for my M.S. I am certified to teach K throuogh 12th grade. I am also a member of The National Honor Society. I am listed on my Indiana Teaching License as coded- A Highly Qualified Teacher. Both by my credentials and by the high degree of success I have achieved with my students over the last 20 years, I feel very qualified to teach essay writing as a subject.

Sophia Ballard
Fairfield, IL

ESL and Writing Tutor Specializing in Creative and Academic Writing

In my B.A. program, I studied creative writing encompassing four different genres: poetry, dramatic writing, creative nonfiction, and fiction writing. I enjoy writing in each of these genres; however, most of my time is dedicated to poetry and dramatic writing. Previously, my writings have been published in various journals for poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. My academic experience includes a working understanding of how workshops can best benefit the writer. I believe that asking questions is one of the best ways to help a writer reevaluate their work. Ultimately, creative writing is an art and, thus, deserves attention from passionate writers.

Amelya Fox
Plainfield, IL

Honors engineering student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville

My favorite books to read have always been memoirs, because they so beautifully combine creativity with the author's real story. I see college application essays as a type of memoir. They provide an opportunity to tell your own story creatively, letting your past, passions, and goals guide you. I learned a lot about myself from writing my college essays, and I'd like to help others with that same experience. I wrote a personal statement essay and what feels like hundreds of supplemental/scholarship essays, and now that I've taken a step back and been through two years of college, I have a pretty good grasp on what works. My essays got me a full ride at my university, as well as several local scholarships and scholarship offers from other universities. Additionally, I worked with a qualified mentor when getting started on my applications, so I do have some structured experience in learning the process. I don't get to write as much as I used to as an engineering major, so I would love to exercise this passion again as a tutor. The college applications and admissions process is a big deal, and my goal is to help guide students through the experience in a way that will allow their story to shine.

Alyssa Lang
Palos Heights, IL

An Aspiring Teacher Ready for a Challenge

I have written essays for as long as I can remember! Whether they were just personal essays, or academic essays, I always made sure that my best effort was put first. I love the idea of any type of writing, and being able to help other people write is something that I enjoy. I was an in-class tutor for a collegiate level class that was struggling in English, but especially in the writing category. This allowed me to walk around and help some college students be able to understand their thinking and be able to relay certain information to them. Being able to make easy writing sound more advanced is not difficult at all, and I cannot wait to help anybody with their writing journey!

Kayla Bell
Indianapolis, IN

Mentor

I love writing and I can teach about any type of writing there is whether it is creative writing, writing a review, writing plays, screenplays, sonnets, poems, even writing papers and essays. I have spent all of my life writing and my skills in writing have grown expenantially as I kept writing throughout college where I find it very fun and I always have an idea. I want this to be a time where people can share their ideas and make it into a piece of writing that they won't feel embarrased about or self conscious about because that will put one down and won't have the confidence to be proud in what was written on the page.

Tarah Shaw
East Chicago, IN

Literature and Writing Tutor

As someone who specializes in creative writing and aspires to be a novelist, I have had several creative writing courses throughout my college career, including short story writing. As a tutor of short story writing, I will teach students how to create compelling characters that drive a plot forward, literary devices (eg. imagery, foreshadowing, syntax), and more. Stories, like all creations, come from within us and as a tutor, I will help students to look within themselves and put their experiences and imaginative power on paper (well on screen, if you want to be technical).

Ena Atamenwan
Indianapolis, IN

Computer Aided Design Engineer with 8+ Years of work and 10 Teaching

I have worked on a lot of projects through college and beyond. Each of these projects required me to write a detailed technical report on my processes, and findings. In my many years of doing this, I have taken technical writing, speech, and presentation classes to help me hone my communication skills. I help students break down the processes of writing a good essay, from structuring the paper properly, to providing relevant examples to support an idea. All these help make writing a clear and concise paper less daunting and more effective.

Ellen Soyka
Indianapolis, IN

Let's make essay writing, Spanish grammar, and college classes easier! Top-rated teacher & MA grad

Over the past eight years, I've worked with dozens of college students on their writing. As an International Studies graduate, I'm comfortable working with students on nearly any humanities class that requires essays, from required English Composition and Public Speaking courses to more specific classes like Environmental Studies, Gender & Film, or Abnormal Psychology. I've been an assistant instructor for over ten undergraduate and graduate courses in International Studies and Criminal Justice, and I've tutored in a wide variety of topics both in-person and virtually. My favorite moments are when my students sigh a breath of relief, comment "Oh wait, this isn't actually that complicated," or even pull up the Purdue OWL site of their own accord. In addition, for the last ten years, I've helped 10+ students apply to college, scholarships, medical school, medical residency programs, and law school. I love talking through someone's life goals, favorite activities, significant memories, and proudest accomplishments, and then making that conversation a vivid, well-structured component of these applications.

Eitan Price
Carmel, IN

successful college student, noted tutor

Throughout my academic career, I have taken high-level classes in subjects such as English and History that require writing essays. Evidence of my success in these classes comes from my 6 on the IB English exam and 5 on the AP US History exam, both of which are largely essay based. In high school, I gained experience reviewing essays as a peer tutor for social studies which often involved reviewing essays for AP US History. Ever since I have regularly been asked to review my peers' essays among whom I am known for honesty and helpful feedback. As a linguistics major, I can utilize my knowledge of the structures of language to better explain feedback. As a student at Lawrence University, the liberal arts curriculum has given me experience writing essays in a variety of fields.

Soleil Engin
Chicago, IL

University of Chicago Honors Graduate, BA Public Policy Studies, 9x AP 5 Score

I received my BA in Public Policy from the University of Chicago this past June. The essays I submitted in my accepted application were further used as examples by the college counselors at my high school. I received A's in both my AP Lang and Lit classes, and 5's on both tests as well. My studies at the University of Chicago also revolved heavily around essay writing, and thus I consider myself to have a firm grasp on college writing standards generally. My junior and senior years in high school, I served as captain of my high school's Academic Decathlon team. I greatly enjoyed coaching team members on "Subjective" events in particular: Speech, Interview, and Essay. My coach named an award after me upon my graduation to honor students who excel in these events. I have also simply loved to read my entire life and believe there is immense value in learning to write at any level, no matter the goal--communication makes life richer. In my free time outside my studies, I have written for multiple publications. My poetry has been published in Verses Magazine, Memoryhouse Magazine, and Trash Mag. I was a music writer for both Unpublished Magazine and Slumber Magazine from 2020-2022. I also served as the Music Editor of SoulTalk Magazine during this time. read less
