Ward
Writing & Reading Coach
- $100 / h

- Berkeley , California ( 94702 )
- 20 miles
For two years as a Stanford Hollyhock Fellow I studied how to help students write better. Through feedback that is both technical (the X's and O's of writing) and power-affirming (asking writers to think deeply about their effect on the reader), I have helped dozens of students get into colleges. In particular, I excel at coaching for the Personal Insight Question (PIQ), a college essay form unique to the UC system, and have led workshops on how to understand and use this type of essay. My...

My love for essay-writing and test instruction stems from understanding personally what it is like to perform and produce under stress. My studies of psychology, learning styles, English--and even classical music--have complimented the individualized lessons I've provided for hundreds of students in public and private venues. It's important to me to find students where they're at, academically and personally. Having a tutor who has been in competitive environments and learned how to thrive is... Read more
