How Sessions Work

The writing stays yours.

Every session is focused on helping you think more clearly and write more effectively. That means working through your ideas, your structure, your argument — not substituting mine for yours.

Students leave with a clearer understanding of what needs to change and why. The revision is their own work.

What happens in the room.

• Conducted over Zoom, up to 60 minutes
• Student shares their draft and screen
• Student controls the document and types all revisions
• Coaching focuses on ideas, organization, argument, and clarity
• Session ends with a specific plan for revision

Come ready to work.

There's no wrong place to start — a rough draft, a prompt, a paragraph that isn't working. Bring what you have.

• Assignment prompt or instructions
• A draft or working notes
• Any specific questions or sticking points

What we work on.

• Understanding what the assignment is actually asking
• Developing a clear, arguable thesis
• Improving paragraph structure and flow
• Organizing evidence and building an argument
• Clarifying sentences and cutting what doesn't earn its place

Async option available.

For students who prefer written feedback, drafts can be shared via Google Docs. Comments address structure, clarity, and argument — strengths and priorities for revision both. Returned within 48 hours.

The student implements all revisions.

What we don't do.

These boundaries aren't arbitrary — they're what keep the work honest and the writing yours.

• Ghostwriting or writing any portion of an essay
• Rewriting large sections of a draft
• Completing assignments on the student's behalf
• Editing without the student present

Getting started is straightforward.

To schedule, include the student's grade level, the writing assignment, and any timing constraints or deadlines. I usually respond within 24 hours.
