My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : I am probably the one tutor on these pages who is internationally published with a major, front-line house. Here I refer to the biography I wrote of an ambassador named Bullitt, who worked for Roosevelt against Stalin.
This means, simply, that I have tons of experience in writing fast, in rewriting much, and under deadline.
Note too that this often requires research. That I have done for some time...
My experiences are perhaps too wide for this enclosure. I have 5 degrees, in American history and world history and French and Spanish, plus experience in writing and publishing.
But my best experience involves my being able to take an overworked, frazzled student under deadline and teaching him or her how to pause, focus, and then get caught up and then get ahead. As Ben Franklin would say, we have to learn how to "make haste slowly." I teach a student to be calm, take a breath, and then go forward on his requirements -- in exactly the order that the situation requires.
I hate to see students stuffed with words and ideas, as if they were thanksgiving turkeys.
I love to help a student understand that much of the truth is inside his own mind. We must teach her, or him, to explore his own instincts, and develop his own style, and philosophy.
