Kristy thinks of interesting writing assignments. She always comes to the lesson with an assortment of different ideas. She is fun, energetic, and very knowledgeable. Her lessons go beyond "SAT prep". She is teaching my daughter to be more aware of different ways of using language, and different writing styles.
Richard C. from New York, NY
Kristy is very kind hearted and such a great listener. She pays attention to details and helped me construct my assignments with innovative ideas and words of encouragement. She gave a lot of examples, critiqued my angle of approach, and complemented on my progress. With her guidance, I was able to complete my business writing assignments early, and with positive results. I highly recommend Kristy for any college or professional level business writing work.

Kristy is a very sophisticated writing tutor who helped with editing and organizing a piece of writing. She helped with focus of argument, appropriate word choices and polishing the overall flow of the piece. She is a very good listener and facilitates the student in crafting his/her own argument. She also helps with incisive comments in situations where a student needs a second opinion on a piece that he/she has already written. She is also extremely punctual and works well with teenagers.
