Corie
Experienced College-Level Tutor and Professional Writer
Between my resume and my education, I know what it takes to make writing eloquent and compelling. I love helping YOU discover what "good writing" means and using your new skills to get high marks on essays and on exams. I don't proofread and edit your work; I guide you on your path to making your writing better so you can be successful on your own. I am a grammar nerd with a love for MLA (and experience and respect for APA), the oxford comma, and crafting a thesis you can support with solid ... Read more

Eric
Experienced ESL teacher ready to help you reach your goals
I have taught students of all ages and all skill levels in my over 15 years' career and one thing I've learned - I love helping people reach their ESL goals. Whatever the goal, we can map out a path to help you reach it. I've taught large classes and small - small is the most rewarding and the most productive for the student's goals. How do I do that? By creating engaging lessons tailored to the student and their goals. Yes, we use some standard texts. Yes, you will need to study. But it w... Read more
