Hi Everyone!
I’m Robyn, and I’ve working with student writers at ALL levels for more than 15 years, including students with writing anxiety and English-language learners. Writing skills helped me win admission to my "reach" college and that sparked my passion to help others. I hold a BA and MA in English from Georgetown, and a TESOL certificate and Ph.D. in Writing and Rhetoric from George Mason University; I also won a Fulbright scholarship to teach in Budapest.

I specialize in helping students confidently tackle some of the most important (and high stress!) academic writing tasks we face: applications and personal statements for their dream schools; entrance exams like TOEFL, SAT/GRE Writing; and large projects like term papers, theses and dissertations.

-Want to reach your dream school? In our new AI world, a unique human voice matters more than ever; I’ll help you craft the kind of narratives win admission to highly selective programs. Here’s a list of some places where my students won admission: Georgetown, UVA, Virginia Tech, Dartmouth, Tulane, University of Michigan, Jack Kent Cooke & Fulbright scholarships

-Struggling with required writing tests? Whether it's expanding vocabulary to crush the TOEFL or learning the quirky expectations of the GRE Analytical Writing, I’ll help you get the score you need.

-Worried about the hardest paper of the semester or something as large as a dissertation? I’m ready at any step. Stuck at the proposal stage? I'll help you start strong. Need a routine with regular feedback to finish on time? Let's set up coaching sessions! Completely flummoxed by a professor or advisor's feedback? I can help you understand (and wow them with your response!)

My process as a tutor is grounded in learning about your individual needs. I’ll help you not only develop a great piece, but also develop effective writing processes. That means working with me gives you skills you’ll use throughout your education and career. I look forward to helping you WIN with writing!
