Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 12
This specialty class offers students one on one tutoring with a college professor to help them succeed with developing the skills necessary to write at the college level. Parents are asked to correspond with the teacher ahead of time to discuss what skills should be worked on and to provide any necessary writing samples. Each class will assist students with projects they are already working on or in-class activities to help develop skills, including but not limited to the following topics:

--Choosing a research topic
--Citing sources (MLA, Chicago, APA)
--Identifying scholarly and credible sources
--Writing a thesis statement
--Using evidence to back up an argument
--Basic paper structure (how to write an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion)
--Formatting an essay
--Editing (how to self-edit, where to look for editing help, tools to assist with editing)

I am also happy to read through projects, writing samples the students already have, ahead of the class, and then work through editing together in a session. Items for review can include, but are not limited to:

--Research papers and other academic writing projects
--Statements and essays for college applications
--Resumes
--Works of fiction

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! I am happy to work to schedule a time that fits your own scheduling needs.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in History from University of Colorado at Boulder
I am a former college-level instructor who aims to ensure students feel prepared and confident for college-level work! I have read, graded, and edited upwards of 1,000 college essays, primarily those of incoming freshmen and sophomore-level students. By offering these one on one classes, I aim to focus on issues I see frequently with new college students to prepare teens to succeed in their first few semesters of college!
