I’ve worked as a college-level tutor and as an adjunct English instructor. I've tutored a grad student as he rewrote his master’s thesis. He got his degree. I've ghost-edited two... Read more

Working with me, you will not only learn the subject matter, but more importantly, you will gain the ability to connect it back to the world around you. Each session with be... Read more
