TUTORING

“I felt much more organized, calm, and confident working with Sam on my college application essays, and I am definitely going to use what we worked on to help with writing personal essays going forward. Our meetings truly made the entire crazy process a lot easier (and more fun!) and for that I am so grateful! ”
— Allie, high school student

I give students from fourth grade through graduate school—including those with ADHD, ASD, OCD, dysleixa, and dysgraphia—the writing tools and confidence to succeed. Individualized virtual tutoring sessions are available nationwide.
