Introduction
Hi there, My name is Ken, and I've been actively helping kids and adults with their writing skills for over 20 years on a myriad of projects, including general class essays and writing assignments, college app essays, speeches, resumes, narrative fiction and non-fiction. Starting with grade school age children in Los Angeles, and moving to high schoolers and adults in Detroit, I’ve merged affability with discipline, experience and focus in helping clients hone their writing skills and projects to an advanced level. Having been on Thumbtack only a short while, my clients have had great success, receiving improved grades strong teacher/professor feedback, along with 100% of their desired college admissions. Combining everything I’ve learned and done as a newspaper columnist & essayist, publicist and screenwriter, I enjoy nothing more than pointing folks in new directions, helping them devise and form thoughts into a cohesive position and/or compelling narrative. I am particularly good with children, understanding their goals, challenges, and more importantly, who they may be as a person, which is the foundation of everything they will write. And while grammar may be a concern, I make sure it does not get in the way of a student’s creativity, or finding their voice. Nothing gives me more pleasure than watching students execute the process, as they often surprise themselves at the same time. One caveat though, to parents and students: Writing is not a precise discipline, such as math, with a finite answer to a given problem. It is a craft, that requires rewriting and chipping away, similar to shaping a piece of clay, until a refined, intelligent, compelling work results. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.

My middle school age son needed tutoring in writing and I hired Kenneth for several sessions. My son is truly a math guy, writing is not his strong suit and he's not interested in reading. Ken taught him how to organize his thoughts, simplify the process and plan out the work, all of it somehow made writing seem easier. I've even seen the boy reading more, which is an added bonus! Ken's sense of humor certainly helped, he was easy to get ahold of and accommodated our crazy schedule. Overall, great results, we're very happy.

Ken was my tutor for two semesters, helping with my Writing & Rhetoric courses at U of M. He was very helpful in refining my papers while teaching and explaining to me the reasons for the changes I would make. I highly recommend him.

Ken is an outstanding choice to work with a student looking for professional assistance with writing a college essay. I was referred to him by a trusted friend and he worked with my high school senior son to compose his essay. He met with him on multiple occasions to develop the essay in my son's own words and the final product was outstanding. I believe that the writing sample was an important factor in my son's acceptance to his desired university. Ken was very accessible and worked around my son's busy schedule. They completed the work well within all deadlines. It was great to have a skilled and professional writer assisting with this important college admission requirement. I highly recommend Ken to anyone for that purpose.

Ken reviewed two short stories I wrote with utmost thoroughness and professionalism, both from a macro and micro viewpoint. His comments were insightful and helpful from both a content and grammar/punctuation standpoint. In addition, he was also fun and engaging to work with. I highly recommend him for any piece of writing you might need some help with.
