Welcome!

Hello!

Are you overwhelmed with the prospect of proofreading your thesis or dissertation? Struggling to organize your ideas for a written project? Does the thought of expressing yourself in writing make you cringe, despite your thorough knowledge of your subject area?  Perhaps you're an international student looking to get help with your writing while perfecting your skills in English.  As a TEFL-certified and experienced writing tutor who has studied English extensively at a university level, I can help with these and many other issues.  I am accustomed to working with non-native speakers of English, and students from fields as diverse as engineering, education, chemistry, accounting, business, international relations, and biology.  I am familiar with the conventions of the APA, MLA, Chicago and IEEE formatting styles, and I am knowledgeable about resources that can enhance your understanding of issues like punctuation, grammar, and the mechanics of English.

My work as a writing tutor brings me in contact with undergraduate and graduate students alike, and it would be a pleasure to help you with your work.

At the moment, I am offering the following services to clients:


  • Proofreading.
  • Document-based tutoring.
  • Creative consultation and critiquing.
  • English conversational training.
  • Transcriptions of audio-recordings.
  • Grammar instruction. 
  • (other arrangements can be made by request)

Studies have shown that language-learning - or for native speakers, language perfecting - is a lot more effective when students feel relaxed, confident and capable. Not only do I treat my clients with the professionalism and tact they deserve, I also make a point of ensuring that consultations and lessons are laid-back and encouraging.  My two primary goals are to help clients accomplish their intended goals, while empowering them as learners and writers.  As your tutor or proofreader, your success and 
satisfaction are of deepest concern. 

Pricing for these services is negotiable, and I offer clients a free initial consultation and price estimate. I am willing to meet with you at any convenient location in the Athens area.  If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, or if you have any questions, feel free to call or email any time.
