Natalie has been working as a professional writer and editor since 2009. Writing tutoring is how she has helped hundreds of students become assertive, enthusiastic writers. She works with students in grades 6–12 on so they can build strong paragraphs, learn how to craft essays, and polish their admissions essays.
Every person in the world has the potential to be a confident, eloquent writer. All it takes is one step — or sentence — forward in the right direction. As your child’s writing tutor, she provides the best support for your child on the path to successful writing.
Paragraph writing
Natalie works with students first on developing their paragraph writing skills. At its core, a paragraph has a beginning, middle, and end. However, the length and development of a paragraph is where it gets tricky. Does it have too many sentences? Is it choppy? Does it sound repetitive? Is the main idea clear? Taking sentences and skillfully arranging them to tell a story or make a persuasive argument — and reach the intended audience — is the definition of a strong, well-built paragraph and the ultimate goal.
Essay writing
Essays are everywhere — in the classroom, private school admissions, and later on, college applications. Students learn each step of the essay writing process and work with Natalie on forming a strong thesis statement, paragraph structure, transitions, body paragraphs, introductions, and conclusions. They also build their editing skills, so they can strengthen their sentences and proofread their writing for any grammar and punctuation mistakes.
College admissions essays
As a professional writer and editor since 2009, Natalie has helped many high school students polish their college application essays, coaching them through college application questions that require short but powerful responses. She works with your child within the guidelines of every application process. Together, we craft a personal, meaningful presentation of skills and accomplishments so they can be accepted to the college or university of their choice!
