Myungwha J. from Davis, CA
Elyse was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the grammatical and usage errors in my work. She also understood the subject once I explained it and had good suggestions for organization of my thoughts and paragraphs. I recommend her highly to other students who do not speak English as their first language.
Yanan L. from Davis, CA
English is not my first language. I had 2 college papers due and did not want my grammar and usage mistakes to hurt my grades. Elyse showed me how to improve my writing and explained the necessary corrections. She also took the time to understand my thoughts and helped me to express them more clearly by showing me ways to improve the structure and organization of my paragraphs. I recommend her highly!
