Services and About Me

Services

I can help college students or adult learners with their academic/essay writing.  I can help with citations, persuasive writing, writing in third person, APA format, research, and formulating a thesis statement.  I can help with organization, structure, style, format, and implementing an outline and other writing prompts, such as annotated bibliographies or literature reviews.  I also focus on helping students develop critical thinking skills or analytical skills.

In addition, I help K-12 students with reading and I make sure the students fluency is at an accurate, expressive, and lengthy rate.  I get my curriculum for K-12 students from Teachers Pay Teachers website.  I also offer additional services, such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and handwriting.
