Irma
English/writing Tutor
I am a graduate of UC Berkeley with an English major and a history minor and received a M.A.T. degree from Harvard University Graduate School of Education. I tutored fellow students in college and afterward. As a college admissions and financial aid counselor at a high school in Los Angeles, I garnered a lot of experience editing college application essays. In recent years, I have edited writers' manuscripts. I really enjoy helping a writer develop a cogent essay, whether this is a person...

Irma delivers results. I received a B in the first semester of my sophomore Honor’s English class. Irma began working with me. Two and a half years later, I have received all A’s in sophomore Honors, Junior and Senior AP English classes. I have that same teacher for my senior AP English. She wrote a stellar college recommendation letter for me and noted that I am one of her top writers. She used my essays as a writing sample for my AP English peers. I took my ACT and my English and Reading scores were in the top 3 percentile. I have some great college choices due to Irma, including UCLA and USC. Irma worked on all facets of my writing and critical reading skill sets. She is an effective communicator and I feel that my improved writing and critical thinking skills will prepare me for college and beyond. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with Irma. She has been a fantastic mentor for me. More importantly, she also cares about my future. My father will have Irma work with my younger sister as well. I give Irma the highest recommendation. Thank you Irma!

Hey, I think Irma is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. She not only helped me proofread and edit my essay but also gave some background about my essay. That helps me a lot. By the way, she is so kind.

I would recommend Irma to help with editing your son's / daughter's college application essay. Irma has provided our son with suggestions to improve his essay and corrected grammar / punctuation as needed. Irma is flexible and timely in getting work reviewed and edited. Typically has essay reviewed and returned within a day or two. Knowing the importance of submitting a strong essay to compete with other students, I would highly recommend Irma help your son / daughter with their college essay.

She is very patient and uses very interesting learning tools. She prepares her classes based on what you really need to improve. Exercises include writing based on newspaper articles and composing sentences from different extract paragraphs.

I loved how she always kept me updated with what was done during each lesson. My daughter really enjoyed working with Irma and felt that she was very easy to talk to. I will definitely hire Irma for my younger daughter when the time comes!
