College Admission Essay coaching, Editing & Proofreading
Getting into your top choice of college can be difficult when English is a foreign language for you. I can help you put together a competitive admissions package in social sciences and humanities so that your essay, CV/resume, and writing sample all work together to give you a competitive edge.
dissertation/ Thesis Editing
Organizing your ideas, especially in long pieces of writing, can be a challenge. I can help you edit chapters of your dissertation before you submit them to your advisor so that your chapters are clear and easy to understand.
GRE/SAT/AP ENGLISH
Are you having trouble with the timed essay section of the SAT, GRE, OR AP English tests? Or do you need help with the reading comprehension, writing, and vocabulary component?
I scored in the 97th percentile on the GRE. I will help you make a plan to reach the score you need. You’ll start by taking a practice tests and we can determine specifically the areas you need to work on.
Then, we will make a study plan to improve your scores, whether it’s through increasing your academic vocabulary, practicing the essay component, or developing your reading comprehension strategies.
Dissertation coaching/ dissertation writing
Are you having trouble completing your dissertation? Do you need consistent, constructive, and positive feedback to stay on track?
I can help you design your research project, come up with feasable research questions, set long and short-term goals, complete your literature review, generate a valid research design, create reliable instruments for data collection, and write the “results” and “discussions sections of your dissertation. I can also help you through the IRB process to get your research approved.
Literature Review, Planning & Writing
Many students are intimidated by the literature review process. They wonder on which areas of the field or which time period they should focus. They wonder how to begin and how to limit the scope of the review without falling behind on deadlines.
Based on your research questions, hypotheses, and variables, I will help you limit the scope of your literature review, create an outline based on themes, and organize your literature review in a logical order.
Whether you are writing a short literature review for a class or a long chapter for your dissertation, I can help!
Academic Writing
Have you ever traveled to a country where you did not speak the language? Did you feel lost regarding cultural norms of behavior? Did you get in trouble for doing or saying something that was considered inappropriate or rude by locals?
Academic writing, whether you are a native or non-native speaker of English, can feel the same. It has its own rules and conventions that, if not followed, make you feel like an outsider and can result in a bad grade on an essay or a rejection of your work for publication.
Effective writing is the ability to produce works of diverse genres and for a variety of audiences and writing contexts.
As we work together, you will learn to modify your writing for the needs of a particular audience and writing project. Over time, you will develop the ability to write in a style and manner appropriate for diverse writing situations.
CV, Resume & COVER LETTER REVIEW
Do you need feedback on your CV/resume and cover letter? I can look at your job application materials and help you target your application to a particular job. My fee is much lower than that of most online resume/CV review companies.
interview coaching
Do you have good qualifications, but have trouble getting the job of your dreams because you fail to pass the interviews? Do you freeze up or drone, failing time after time?
Whether you are looking for an entry level position or a teaching job in the international job market, through intense interview practice sessions, I can help you develop concise and focused answers to many frequently asked interview questions so that you can pass interviews with confidence and ease.
I have helped many clients prepare for and pass competitive job interviews in the fields of editing, education, marketing, retail, and others. I also have experience working in the corporate sector and teaching employment preparation courses at the college level.
