Kristen S.
United States Air Force Academy, Florida Atlantic University
USAFA grad, MD, and returned Peace Corps Volunteer who loves to teach & coach
I am a 2004 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science in philosophy & humanities. After graduation from college, I joined the United States Peace Corps and, for two years, lived in a small village in the sub-Saharan African country of Zambia. While there, I collaborated with Zambian colleagues at the grassroots level to increase rural awareness of preventive health measures to protect against malaria and other common diseases. Upon my return to the US from Africa, I began tutoring, and continued to do so as I worked my way through medical school. Subjects of expertise include standardized test prep, reading & writing, and math. My medical school experience forced me to learn techniques for efficient retention of large volumes of information. I, in turn, teach students these techniques, thus helping them retain what they have learned. I graduated from medical school in 2017 and continued tutoring, now with an additional focus on coaching. I believe this is what makes me unique as a tutor. I help students define goals, establish habits, and create systems that support good habits. We troubleshoot as difficulties maintaining habits arise, and modify our approach accordingly. I love helping students find their talents and translate them into career paths, including helping students find and apply for relevant programs of study, and finding professionals in those fields to advise and inspire. My medical knowledge, specifically my interest in mental health and how it contributes to academic & other success, also informs my work with students. I’ve successfully helped students with interventions like vitamin supplementation, dietary changes, and medication compliance for ADHD and other conditions, and more. I’ve consistently seen big improvements in students’ ability to focus, follow through, and in so doing, feel better about themselves. Please reach out if I can be of help to you or your student!

Mary M.
Wilfrid Laurier University
Experienced and understanding writing tutor
Hello! My name is Mary, and I am passionate about bringing your ideas to life by helping you improve the clarity, flow, and style of your writing! I love all things related to writing — I have written short stories almost my entire life and am working on my first science-fiction novella. Along with creative writing, I wrote numerous essays during my university years. My strong writing skills helped me succeed academically, as I graduated with high distinction. I love helping others, and bringing my writing expertise to support people in their academic and creative pursuits is a passion of mine! As a peer academic coach at my university for a mandatory course focused on philosophy from the Enlightenment to the present day, I prepared students for writing essays in university by explaining the assignment instructions, reviewing and discussing their essays, and directing them to helpful writing resources. I enjoyed passing down my knowledge to these first-year students so much that I applied to become a writing tutor at my university. As a writing tutor, I helped students from all years improve the clarity, concision, and persuasiveness of their academic papers, scholarship proposals, and cover letters. I loved both these positions so much that I have continued to tutor high school and university students in writing to help them succeed in their academic, professional, and creative lives. and have seen massive improvements in the quality of their writing while embracing their unique voice to craft persuasive essays, strong professional documents, and compelling stories. If you choose me as a tutor, I can help you master: - Academic papers/essays - APA, MLA, and Chicago style citations - Fiction and non-fiction prose - Resumés and cover letters - Scholarship proposals - Paragraph organization, sentence structure, word choice, and grammar I look forward to boosting your confidence in your writing abilities!
