Emma
Write together, write better
Hey there! My name is Emma. I’m a writer, writing tutor, and freelance copywriter living in Brooklyn, New York. I earned my undergraduate degree in Comparative Literature at Barnard College of Columbia University, graduating in 2019.

I began working as a Writing Center Fellow during my time at Barnard, and have continued as a Gra... Read more
Ashley
Compassionate and Structured Associate level Orton-Gillingham Tutor
I graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a degree in Elementary Education and Humanities. In my first teaching job, I taught in a unique homeschooling pod. I worked with 6 students ranging from 6 to 11-years-old with varying degrees of neurodivergence, and I instructed all subjects along side my co-teacher. Working with neurodivergent students allowed me to develop more strategies and skills for creating engaging and tactile lessons. It also gave me the avenue to dive d... Read more
Mike
College Instructor for Writing, Reading and Test-Taking
I’ve met students who thought they were terrible writers and students who thought they were excellent writers, but I’ve always been surprised that all students, regardless of confidence, think they can become “better†writers simply by learning more adjectives or writing longer sentences.

Instead, writers are trying to make documents that create and... Read more

Sonya
Author with a BA, MS in English and passion for education
I'd love to inspire others through my passion for English, books, writing, and education.
