Academic Writing Tutoring
in English
One-on-one tutoring for college students who want to write with clarity, confidence, and their own voice. We work through every form of academic writing — from the first draft to the final polish — in English. Your ideas are already there. We help you put them on the page in a way that earns the grade and the respect you deserve.

Types of Writing
We work across every genre and form.
Literary Analysis
Learn to read a text closely, identify themes, symbols, and authorial intent, and construct an argument that goes beyond summary. We work through close reading, textual evidence, and the conventions of literary criticism.
Argumentative & Persuasive Writing
Build a thesis that takes a real position, support it with evidence, anticipate counterarguments, and write a conclusion that earns its place. The backbone of academic success.
Research Papers
From identifying a research question to synthesizing sources and citing correctly — we cover the full arc. You will learn to evaluate sources, integrate quotations, and write with authority.
Creative Writing
Voice, structure, imagery, point of view, and the discipline of revision. Whether fiction, memoir, or poetry, we work on craft — and on finding the form that serves your story.
Form & Structure
Introduction, body, conclusion — but also: how paragraphs work, how transitions carry the reader, how sentence variety creates rhythm, and how white space is a tool, not an accident.
Citation Formats
MLA, Chicago, and APA — each has its own logic. We cover in-text citations, works cited pages, footnotes, endnotes, and the difference between a bibliography and an annotated bibliography.
"Most strong academic papers go through 3–5 drafts.
We build that expectation in from the start."
Citation & Format
MLA, Chicago & APA — demystified.
Each citation format has its own logic and its own use case. We cover all three — so you know not just how to format a citation, but why the format exists and when to use it.

- In-text: (Author page)
- Works Cited page
- No footnotes required

Chicago
Chicago Manual of Style
Used in: History, arts, some social sciences
- Footnotes or endnotes
- Bibliography page
- Two systems: Notes-Bibliography & Author-Date
- Preferred for archival research
APA

Research Skills
Researching at the U.S. Library of Congress
The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world — and one of the most powerful research tools available to students in the United States. We teach you how to use it: navigating the catalog, accessing digital collections, finding primary sources, and citing archival materials correctly.
- Navigating loc.gov and the online catalog
- Accessing digitized primary sources and manuscripts
- Finding periodicals, newspapers, and historical records
- Citing archival and government documents in MLA & Chicago
- Using the LOC for literary, historical, and cultural research
The Drafting Process
How many drafts does it take?
The answer is: more than one. Most students submit their first draft thinking it is their final draft. We change that. Here is the process we follow together.
Discovery Draft
The first draft is about getting your ideas on the page — no pressure for perfection. We identify what you are actually arguing and what evidence you have.
Structural Revision
We look at the architecture: Does the thesis hold? Do the body paragraphs support it? Is the argument logical and complete? This is where most of the real writing happens.
Line Editing
Sentence by sentence — clarity, concision, grammar, syntax, and style. We refine your voice without replacing it.
Citation & Format Review
Every source verified, every citation formatted correctly. MLA, Chicago, or APA — we make sure the mechanics are clean.
Final Polish
A final read for flow, consistency, and confidence. Most strong academic papers go through 3–5 drafts. We build that expectation in from the start.
