From first drafts to AP English
Our tutors are Stanford students who write constantly in their own classes. They help students with essays, reading comprehension, grammar and literature, from middle school language arts through AP English Language and AP English Literature.
We don’t write essays for students. Instead, a tutor works alongside them, brainstorming, outlining and revising, so the ideas and the voice stay their own and the skills carry over to the next assignment.
