I worked with Vicki at Refined Writing for a month, and she was an incredible collaborator. I joined Thumbtack in search of a writing tutor who could help me refine my writing and express myself in a concise manner for some high stakes grad school applications. After 10+ sessions of working with Vicki, I can truly think of no better tutor to have helped me meet my goal. I was greatly impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness. Moreover not only did she produce high quality work but she also really cared to get to know me and my background. This collaborative spirit only made for excellent deliverables and has really given me the 'boost' I need to set myself apart from other candidates. I highly recommend Refined Writing to anyone who seeks a professional tutor that can help you organize all your thoughts and distill them down to the essentials.

  I graduated cum laude from Pomona College and then studied counseling psychology at the University of Southern California. I have tutored for over ten years, and also have experience as a literacy teacher for teens and adults. I am currently working on a master’s degree at Harvard.
