Experience
English is what I do and what I know -- I'm familiar with several editorial styles (MLA, AP, etc.) and with most protocol junior, high school, and college-level writers and readers will be expected to know and understand. In particular, I'm adept at helping students better understand big ideas in the literature they're reading through close readings of smaller details in the writing. We then take these ideas and structure an essay with a clear and focused premise, working toward a final product that is both exceptional and stylistically above-the-cut. I'm also available to edit papers of nearly any persuasion or subject. I give quick but very thorough editing advice that covers all the subjects you'd expect -- clarity, style, content, formatting/grammar, etc. For high school students, I took and received the highest score on the AP English exam, and I'm exceedingly familiar with the types of questions you'll be asked and the expected content/quality of the essays you'll be writing for that exam. Naturally, this also keeps me available and skilled enough to help students prepare for SOL exams and other benchmarking tests. For college students, I'm incredibly familiar with the types of peer revision and editing you'll need to craft excellent, A-scoring papers and essays. I'm also available for more abstract writing guidance -- think fiction, poetry, non-fiction writing, etc. Though I didn't choose them as subjects of guidance, I'm also very familiar with computers and computer technology, written German, and with music and music theory (as well as composition and musical engineering). Please don't hesitate to contact me if anything I've mentioned above seems like something you or your child needs help with, both in any major or minor capacity.
