Writing Skills
Focus on specific skills - anything from brainstorming to analysis, from grammar to paragraph structure.
Specific Assignments
Got a deadline? We can work on any type of writing assignment or project, for as many sessions as you need.
Test Prep
Hiding from standardized tests won't help. Prep for navigating the tests, working under time pressure, and doing your best.
The first step is a free phone or Skype consult during which we discuss your particular objectives and goals.
Appointments are for one hour and, for parents, I provide an optional 10-minute follow-up phone call after each session. Sessions are conducted in the client home or local library.
