English Language Arts Essay Editing Workshop
In meeting with your student, I will work with them to help improve both their grade on a writing assignment, develop their essay writing chops for future papers, and prevent them from turning to AI or other online materials.

In this meeting, your student should bring with them an already-completed essay that they have been assigned for class. In our time together, we will work to improve this essay in a way that teaches your student how to edit essays effectively in the future without turning to AI. We will focus on articulating arguments and learning rhetorical skills to strengthen them. We will focus on how to structure an essay in the way that best suits their argument. Finally, we will focus on the mechanics of the essay and any stylistic choices. I have a love for English grammar, so that will be a big focus in this class. My teaching style is strengths-based, so instead of just working on elements that could use improvements, we will work together to nourish the places where your student flourishes.
Learning Goals
Improve your student's editing skills by practicing on their own writing.

Though I am not an English teacher, I am a law student who writes every single day. I have a major in history and minors in both English and philosophy, all fields that are writing intensive. I was recently published in the SUNY Press for my honors thesis on which I received the highest possible marks. When I am not in school, I am a substitute teacher and a teaching assistant, so I am confident your student and I will be a good fit!
