Effective writing for business
- $40 / h
- 1 rating
- Slingerlands , New York ( 12159 )
- 20 miles
I can teach you how to write smoothly, clearly, concisely, and in an even tone. Good writing starts with organizing your thoughts and ends with work that is attractively laid out on the page. Between these two points lie using standard grammar and punctuation, choosing the right words, omitting what is unnecessary, and editing your work. Not only can I teach you what to do, but also how you can put the lessons into practice according to your own pace and temperament. Law is a literary... Read more

- Schenectady , New York ( 12304 )

I also studied French for six years at Middle and High School and also attended Ndebele classes (an African language) after completing college. My love and passion for languages compels me to engage my students to the best of my ability so that they too may discover the beauty of language, the power of language and how central... Read more

Steven
Undergraduate Math Student with College Tutoring Experience
It happens to all of us. Sometimes we end up with that one math professor who we just can't learn from. We sit in class and take all the notes we can, but for some reason it just doesn't click. This is especially common for engineering and science students, who often need to learn dense subjects like Linear Algebra and Differential Equations to get their degrees. If you're in this situation, the best help you can get is from a fellow college student who has already been through it. My name... Read more
Aaron
Learn English from a Haiku Death Battle Champion
Among several of my previous insanities, was to begin academia in the humanities. I taught in Korea, then studied Science, now my left and my right brain have formed an alliance. My writing is found in quite a few places: newspaper clippings and internet spaces. I’ve taught overseas and outdoors by the beach, and I can craft fun presentations to teach. This included refining climate education, and helping kids learn at a nature-school station. Recently I’ve built some leadership s... Read more
