In this one-time tutoring session, I will work one-on-one with the student writer by reviewing their writing and offering feedback and revision suggestions for personal creative writing or academic writing. Often the best way to improve writing is working one-on-one with a teacher and receiving specific instruction and feedback on a piece of writing. As a professional writer and writing teacher, I will guide students to achieve more polished and practiced writing. In each session, students can submit a writing sample of their choice (academic or creative). An overview with improvement and revision ideas will be given as well as discussion and suggestions for writing roadblocks they may be encountering. In a friendly and casual atmosphere, effective tips on composition of content, style and tone, description and sentence structure, flow, word choice, and grammar tips will be given. Proofreading pointers will be discussed. Academic writing support includes guidance for the direction and successful completion of the project. With creative fiction or nonfiction, I will provide feedback to the student to help them improve their piece through the revision process and discuss next steps such as submitting to websites, contests, and literary magazines. Students also can ask me question regarding professional writing.
