Freelance Writing
Obituaries: Review factual information on the life of the departed, speak with the next-of-kin, prepare a draft of the obituary for the family to review, apply any necessary changes and deliver an obituary that reveals the story and personality of a beloved family member or friend.
Collaborative Writing: Provide assistance in organizing your ideas into a cohesive piece of writing.
Tutoring
Writing:
Aid in every stage of the writing process, including content-knowledge development, planning, outlining, formatting, drafting, refining, titling and finalizing the piece. In each phase, we focus on overall structure, strong development of original ideas/sound logic and a solid command of proper grammar and usage. This model easily applies to expository essays, creative pieces and various assignments from other classes, such as the written portion of a science project or a report for history class.
Speaking:
Similar to writing as far as the planning process; entirely different means of delivery. We’ll use the preparation-improves- confidence theory, breaking down the preparation portion to everything from thorough research to effective posture to vocal projection. Students will self-evaluate progress through video-analysis of their own speeches.
Editing
Obituaries: Provide an objective analysis of content, tone and mechanics.
​
College-Application Essays: Guidance in selecting a topic, forming a thesis, and writing an essay which stands out from the crowd.
