Experience

I've been a tutor and English language instructor for middle school, high school and college students for fifteen years. I started out in the writing labs of North Seattle and Bellevue Community Colleges and have moved on to work, primarily as a private tutor, with a wide range of students and professionals, helping them improve their writing, their English, their test scores, their college application essays, their accents, and their study skills. Here's a letter I received from a former client: I recently sent in an application to the University of Virginia School of Law under a binding early decision agreement. UVA was my top choice and has one of the top law schools in the country (notable alumni include RFK, Ted Kennedy, Thurgood Marshall, Jr.). I was an on-the-edge candidate. I got a phone call yesterday informing me of my acceptance. The admissions director said he really liked the essay you helped me with and I think that the essay played a huge role in persuading the admissions committee to take me.
