UNDERGRADUATE SUPPORT
Individual Essays || I will provide comprehensive feedback on the quality of your writing with a guaranteed 48-hour turnaround from the receipt of payment. I offer guidance in developing and articulating your thesis, analyzing the argumentative structure of your work, and evaluating its effectiveness. My support also involves stylistic guidance and critique, including help with sourcing, sentence-level mechanics, clarity, tone, voice, and register. I will read your essay and then send you comprehensive written feedback in the form of line-by-line review and summative comments. This service includes two half-hour video consultations: a pre-writing video consultation in which I help you develop your thesis and writing plan; after I return written feedback on your full draft, I also meet with you to talk you through my comments, develop targeted strategies for improving your writing, and answer any questions you might have about revising your work.
Half- and Full-Term Academic Coaching and Writing Support || This is a comprehensive writing support and course tutoring service. I will provide detailed written and one-to-one video feedback on all of your writing coursework for an entire semester or academic year. I will guide you through the planning, drafting, and polishing of each assigned piece of writing you must submit. We will also agree in advance on a schedule of meetings to help you stay on top of your coursework. This service includes a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround from receipt of your drafts, though I will try to respond more quickly whenever possible. This service also includes unlimited email support.
24-Hour Emergency Writing Clinic || Struggling with an assignment? I can offer academic support and guidance. I can also provide comprehensive feedback on your draft with a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround from the receipt of payment.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTS
Graduate School Applications and Writing Samples || I will provide comprehensive support in the preparation of your applications for graduate school, whether your prospective degree is academic or professional. I will advise you on the selection of programs that best suit your academic interests and training, develop strategies for presenting your skills and experience in a way that is appropriate, and help you craft a narrative that strikes the right balance between summary (what you have done) and aspiration (what you hope to achieve). I will also walk you step-by-step through the development of your personal statements and the drafting and polishing of your writing samples. This service includes unlimited email support.
Curriculum Vitae and Cover Letters || Going on the job market? I will read and provide expert feedback on your CV and cover letter, and help you to achieve clarity and concision in your presentation. I can also help you to craft materials that meet appropriate visual standards, ensuring that they not only read well, but also look polished and professional.
Scholarships and Fellowships || I offer comprehensive support in the preparation of applications for scholarships and fellowships. I have helped a number of students win awards to support their studies--and supported my own post-graduate studies as a DAAD fellow. Please contact me to learn more about the ways I can support you.
