Alen is a skilled writing coach and teacher. I hired Alen to help with basic grammar and punctuation skills. She is supportive and creative, indulging my need to relearn how to diagram sentences. She is professional in manner but is easy going. She adapts her coaching and tutoring skills to fit my needs, and uses a variety of exercises that have improved my writing. With Alen’s help, I am inspired to learn and grow as a writer. I highly recommend Alen as a tutor.

A wonderful 5 stars. Kristen tutored my 7 year old son in reading and writing during the summer. I thought I would quote Kristen from a few of the updates she emailed us as I feel this aptly captures Kristen’s dedication, quality and professionalism as a tutor: “My hope is to help James feel authority and confidence when he chooses a book. The "quality" of the reading material is less important than the habit. No matter what he reads, he is becoming a better reader as long as he engages with the book… Learning to write is a procedural practice, meaning we wear it into our brains like a groove in a record. The improvement will happen over time. By the end of the week James could read his own writing back to me. At the beginning of the week, he couldn’t. Also he proposed his own writing assignment in lesson three. That self-challenging initiative is a good sign. That means he understands how to utilize tutoring, how to create an idea out of nothing, and how organize his thoughts around that idea. He dictated the piece and then I recited his dictation and assisted with spelling of larger words as he wrote. He clearly wanted to communicate his thoughts on soccer in writing…” My son ended the summer with a book about dinosaurs that he wrote and illustrated with Kristen facilitating the process and discovered a confidence and enthusiasm for reading and writing. We are grateful for Kristen’s help.

Susan was fantastic!! I came to Susan stressed out on the final stages of my graduate school application essay, looking for efficient and quality help. She went above and beyond working with me over three hours, not only helping me with my essay line by line, but giving me both positive and constructive feedback on my overall essay. I feel much more confident having submitted my essay, and I owe a lot to Susan for our excellent tutoring session. Looking for a friendly, thoughtful, and motivated writing tutor? Look no further!

I worked with Adena Spingarn to write a graduate college application essay. What I enjoyed most about working with her was that she was able to convey her professional opinion while encouraging me to develop my own ideas. I always felt she was genuinely engaged and committed to helping me. At the end of every session with Adena, I felt clear on my path forward and compelled to keep working. Adena set up a writing framework, which effectively helped me to methodically structure my many thoughts. The process of revising my essay was a great learning opportunity for me as well because I’ve never been advised on a project from start to finish. I really appreciate the attention and thoughtfulness I was given by Adena regarding this work. Further, I always felt I had adequate time with Adena to discuss challenges in the writing process. She was always open to speaking with me about my ideas and concerns. I am very happy with the final outcome of my time with Adena and recommend her highly as a tutor.

Kyle V. is a fantastic English tutor. He is both charming and well spoken. Kyle gave his time to teach immediately upon arrival, and engages my son (Age 9) instantly. Connects well, and able to establish many common areas to help my son communicate with him. Kyle is able to balance areas of work my child needs to improve by looking his school work and writing/talking about things that interests my son! I feel that my son is able to learn from Kyle on his first lesson. With school projects at home, my son speaks up more about certain topic areas as well, as we were always looking for ways to motivate our son! Kyle is constructive and knowledgable in his comments and always shows an enthusiasm to teaching my son. He always arrives on time, which we really appreciate. I highly recommend Kyle.
