Eliezer Altzman
Clarksville, TN

Experienced writer, always excited to share my passion for writing with others!

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing from Purchase College SUNY, and I have 3 years of experience in copywriting, editing, and online publishing. I am skilled in writing for creative, academic, and professional contexts, and eager to use my skills to train other people in them as well. My coursework for my Bachelor's required deep understanding of writing and editing. I produced my own written work within submission deadlines, and I wrote in-depth analysis and critiques of other people's work as well. As part of my coursework, I produced multiple short-stories and novellas which earned me a 3.8 GPA when I graduated. My written fiction has been published in Italics Mine Magazine, and I have written an audio-play script for Headfone. I have also self-published book reviews via Medium and been trained in SEO (search engine optimization) techniques, which I have incorporated into all of my web-published work. I have worked as a copy-editor for the literary magazine Submissions Magazine. With them, I looked over all submitted works, produced reader's reports and edits, and contacted the authors to provide feedback on their work. I was also a Lead Content Writer for a career coaching company, where I was able to hone my skills for professional writing and editing, and where I was trained in SEO techniques and web publication. Writing has always been my passion, and I am always excited for the chance to teach and inspire others. Whether for academic contexts or creative endeavors, writing is a vital tool that I am excited to share.

Sonya Sud
Kansas City, MO

First Year in UMKC's 6-year B.A./M.D. Program

I have a deep passion for helping others express their ideas effectively, which aligns with my long-term goal of pursuing medical journalism to improve communication in medicine. Having successfully navigated the college application process—writing over 60 essays and gaining admission to over ten schools, including Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and UMKC’s competitive 6-year B.A./M.D. program, where the admissions committee told me I received the highest possible score on my personal statement—I understand firsthand what makes a compelling college essay. Beyond my own applications, I have extensive writing experience as the Editor-in-Chief of my high school newspaper, where I honed my ability to craft engaging narratives and mentor younger writers. My writing has been recognized at the highest levels, including being named one of ten Missouri All-State Journalism Team members by the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association (MIPA). I also won first place in National Student Press Association (NSPA) competitions for both a Newsmagazine Cover and a Staff Editorial, along with top honors in sports reporting and news writing. In addition to my writing expertise, I have experience tutoring students of all ages. While working at Mathnasium for a year, I tutored preschool through high school students in math, developing strong communication and teaching skills. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how to adapt my teaching style to different learners, ensuring that each student gains confidence in their abilities. As a college essay tutor, I will not only help students strengthen their writing but also guide them in crafting essays that showcase their unique voice and story—just as I did during my own application process. My background in journalism, storytelling, and one-on-one tutoring makes me well-equipped to help students stand out in the admissions process.
