Is your student struggling with their writing assignments? Do you need help with your thesis, research paper, or essay? Are you lost when writing a standard 5-paragraph essay? Have you always wanted to write a novel or a book but don't know where to start? Is sentence structure stumping you? Are you a homeschooler who needs help with your  curriculum and lessons.  Get 1-on-1 Private Tutoring from a professional, published writer.

Schedule a private tutoring session for your middle or high school student. I will design a class just for your student. Get help with homework, school projects, and assignments. Study more in-depth about a topic you love that is not covered in your regular schooling with a private tutor.

Every session is customized to your needs. I teach classes with many interactive elements - discussions, models, drawings, animations, and videos. Students need to be able to interact with me during the sessions in order to get the most out of the tutoring.

Get help with:
Writing - Sentence & paragraph structure, the five-paragraph essay, essays, letters, research papers, books & novels, grammar, spelling, editing, and academic citations
Research Skills - Gathering & organizing information, outlines, writing your paper, editing, and academic citations.

Tutoring is offered in a one-time session lasting 40 minutes per session. Additional sessions can be scheduled to accommodate the student's needs or to cover another topic. Ongoing tutoring sessions are also available.

If you do not see a day/date/time that fits your schedule, please send a schedule request. I will do my best to meet your needs.

Once you have scheduled your tutoring session, I will ask you for the following information:

- Grade 
- Purpose of the session (homework help, project help, test preparation, etc.)
- Specific needs including topic if known (i.e. paragraphs, sentence structure, homework assignment, essay, research paper, etc)
- Learning details - Please provide any details about your student (Learning styles, strengths, etc.)

Please submit any information for our tutoring sessions at least 48 hours prior to your tutoring session so a detailed plan can be made to optimize your tutoring time. 

Note: Our first session will be a "Get-to-Know-You" session unless this is a one-time homework help session (see below). I will use this time to get to know your student, their needs, and especially their interests. I will use this information going forward to tailor future tutoring sessions to your student. 

If this is a one-time homework help session, the homework the student needs help with MUST be provided at least 48 hours prior to the session, and I must be told this is a one-time homework help session. Please note: I will NOT provide answers to homework problems as this is forbidden in the Professional Tutors Code of Ethics. I will teach your student how to solve a problem. I will provide background information, teach your student, and fill in the gaps your student needs to complete their homework assignment. I will review completed assignments and assist your student in areas of weakness. We may not have the time to get to every problem on a homework sheet in our 30-minute session.

I am an experienced writing teacher. I can provide tutoring for all grades and ages at a grade-appropriate level in a friendly, accommodating environment. Tutoring can help with understanding the subject, furthering knowledge, test preparation, problem areas, class assignments, or just for fun.

I have a separate class tutoring listing for younger students.
