About Courtney
I have 3+ years of experience tutoring and helping students thrive into confident academic writers. With a BA in English and Honors Humanities, I have written myriad research papers and understand what teachers and professors like to see (and what they don't like to see). I believe writing is the most important skill to have and I would love to help you feel confident and competent in any field you go into!

I tutor high school, college, and graduate students seeking help writing A papers. Any subject is welcome! My approach is thesis-focused, meaning that the thesis is the most important part of an academic paper: the anchor. I encourage my students to follow the writing process to a tee (Prewriting, Drafting, Revising, Editing, and Proofreading) and to follow Diana Pavlac Glyer's 10 Priorities (Thesis, Audience, Genre, Support, Organization, Syntax, Diction, Standard Usage, Spelling/Punctuation, and Presentation).
I can also help with college essays and applications!
Book with me and bring any paper at any stage (blank page or finished draft or anything in between). I am eager to make you a better writer!

Courtney is an excellent tutor! She is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She has great attention to detail, experience working with writing assignments in a variety of subject areas, and is well-versed in many different citation styles. I've seen her work with many students and would trust her to review my own work. She comes with the highest recommendation!
I met Courtney whilst studying abroad together at the University of Oxford. They are an incredibly capable scholar and care deeply about the beauty of literature and language. Courtney is reliable, loyal, intelligent, and an excellent communicator, alongside being a wonderful person and friend. I couldn't recommend them more!
Courtney has an exceptional ability to communicate concepts. Her experience as a poet and a writer gives her a unique understanding of language and the different approaches necessary for a variety of subjects. But her skill with language would be nothing without her commitment to thorough and compassionate understanding, taking the time to explain concepts with patience. As a fellow student, I have learned from her as a peer and seen how skilled she is at teaching others.
As a poet and a student, Courtney has assisted me on countless occasions with both creative and academic writing. She is kind, patient, and genuinely wants to help the writer become better. She has been trained with tutoring students in writing and speaking. Courtney is a fantastic tutor!
Courtney’s eye for detail and critical mind help others see things from new perspectives. Her quick thinking also makes you ask the deep questions. As an educator she is trustworthy, dedicated, and passionate. I highly recommend Courtney!
I worked alongside Courtney as a tutor at our university’s writing center, and with each client she excellently exuded patience, understanding, clarity, and enthusiasm for equipping students with the tools to succeed. She ensured that each student exercised their voice, while Courtney provided useful guidance in ways to make students confident in themselves. I would recommend Courtney to anyone, as she exemplifies what it means to be a thoughtful, educated, and kind instructor.
Courtney is an incredible teacher. Not only is Courtney extremely talented and knowledgeable about writing, literature, and speaking, but they also are incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. Anyone under Courtney’s tutelage will be set up with tools to succeed and enjoy their time working with them.
