My name is Dr. James, and I have worked as a college professor and, more recently, as a freelance writer, editor, and tutor. I was born in Jersey City, grew up in Bergen County, and moved to Philadelphia where I attended the University of Pennsylvania (earning a B.A. in Philosophy) and Temple University, receiving an M.F.A. in Screenwriting. Subsequently, I moved to New York City where I lived for 16 years and earned my Ph.D. in American Studies from NYU. As an American Studies Ph.D., I have over twenty years of college/university teaching experience in subjects ranging from English Composition, Business Writing, American History, and Literature. I am a published scholarly writer and freelance writer. I am also a passionate creative writer, engaged in writing short and long fiction as well as poetry. Furthermore, I work as a freelance editor and writer, possessing expert skills in grammar, punctuation, and proofreading. For the last 10 years, I have tutored and mentored students in their English writing, speaking, and reading skills. I also teach History and Philosophy to small groups of advanced students.

Hello from the Long Island Green Dome! My name is Versha, and I teach English as a second language to students living in other countries and in the US as well. I teach students from ages 5–18 looking to improve their conversational and academic English. I use content and language-based strategies to teach vocabulary and critical thinking skills. I am a certified ESL teacher with specialized certifications in teaching young learners and error correction. Today’s modern language learning opportunities provide an authentic experience and I believe supplemental educators play an important role in your academic education and social-emotional learning. I believe in increasing one’s knowledge base for intrinsic and extrinsic benefits. As a student, you are making a valuable choice by adding supplemental education to your academic breadth. Let me tell you about myself. I live in a geodesic home made from recycled and sustainable materials that is powered thru solar and wind energy. I recently became a Master Gardener and learned about best garden practices and giving back to the community as a volunteer. I have been an owner and Instructor of an after-school supplemental learning center (Kumon). I operated and taught Math and Reading at Kumon for 12 years during which I also raised two amazing sons who are computer engineers. They credit supplemental learning for their success in school. Supplemental learning benefits all students! I have taught English as a second language online and in classrooms. I taught young students and adult students in Nicaragua at a bi-lingual school and also learned Spanish myself! I have taught and currently teach English online to students of all ages from China, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, India, and Korea. I have traveled to India, Iceland, Spain, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. I speak Hindi fluently and Spanish at the beginner level. I am looking forward to meeting you! It's going to be an awesome journey!

Hi all! My name is Emily - I'm an MFA student in an interactive media arts program in Brooklyn with an MA in Theatre History and Criticism and undergraduate degrees in Comparative Literature and French. I am active in the arts scene in New York and in the broader academic scene in the states, having presented at conferences along the East Coast. I am an experienced writer in all types of different styles and am comfortable with both creative and professional content, so I would love to help with essays or creative writing assignments (I am weirdly excited by new projects of that kind). Additionally, I do SAT / GRE (etc.) verbal sections, as I scored well but understand how foreign these tests can feel at times. I'm also an experienced English as second (or third or fourth) language teacher and would be interested in working with students in this context, especially French speakers as I am an advanced learner French myself. Please feel free to reach out to me with whatever you might be intersted in working on though - chances are I'm interested too! Thanks:)

I am a NYC based director, producer and educator! I study at New York University, where I will graduate with a degree in Educational Theatre. As a top performing, award-winning writer in English and Dramatic Literature, I am passionate about helping students reach their highest potential in their writing and English studies.

Hello! My name is Habiba and I've been a tutor for the last 4 years. I can help you prep for the SAT, TOEFL, DAT, GRE or tutor you in secondary as well as advanced graduate courses. Currently offering tutoring lessons in English, Math, Science for Middle School and High School. Currently offering tutoring lessons in advanced sciences for undergraduate and graduate students.

I hold a PhD in Renaissance English from the University of Miami, an MA in English from Rutgers University, and a BA in English and Women's Studies from Pace University. I am currently an adjunct professor, teaching courses in college composition and a wide range of classes in literature including Renaissance literature, women's writing, world literature, introduction to literary studies, British and American literature, and more! One of my core principles as an instructor is public literacy: tutoring allows me, one-on-one, to tailor instruction to not only the student's current educational needs but also to the public arena(s) to which they want to contribute. Focusing on public literacy allows me to prepare students of all ages for their roles as academic contributors in high school and college as well as their professional roles later on. I believe that every student can, with some help, harness the power inherent in literacy of all kinds -- which increasingly includes digital literacy -- to achieve their goals and give back to their communities and families. As a college professor, I have a unique perspective to help younger students prepare for college or other educational endeavors, but also to help college students to prepare for graduate school and their careers. I hope I can help you improve your writing for academic or professional purposes, to understand literature on a deeper level, and to develop critical thinking skills to last a lifetime!
