About Vanessa

My name is Vanessa. I have a PhD in English. I am trained in Modern Literature and Critical Theory. Part of my dissertation (Impossible Art) will be appearing in the forthcoming Neuroqueer Theory Anthology (Autonomous Press). During my time as a graduate student and after, I taught college courses at a top research university (both in the classroom and online). I have years of experience teaching in the first year writing program at different universities.

I can guide students through the process of selecting a topic and drafting a research question, conducting research, structuring the essay, and, of course, with the revision process.

I am fluent in the structure common to college writing courses at the university level. I can offer support by clarifying what your professor is teaching in the classroom, assist you with structuring your essays, or work with you on your paper revisions . If you struggle with thesis statements, I can show you tricks and tests to check if your thesis is debatable and strong enough for a college-level research essay. If you struggle with college-level research, I can help you streamline your process for locating evidence for your paper.

In addition to teaching writing, I teach literature courses and philosophy courses like Modern Literature, Introduction to English Major, Advanced Shakespeare, Shakespeare in Film; Introduction to Ethical Philosophy.

Dissertation consultation available; help with planning, outlining, argumentation.
Dissertation editing/proofreading available.

I encourage you to take advantage of the free first lesson. During that time we will discuss the reason you are looking into a tutor and develop an action plan to help you meet your goals. If it's appropriate, we'll set our schedule and determine what we plan to work on at each lesson. Speaking generally, if it happens in an English Department, I can help you with it from essay writing and research to reading for comprehension.

If you're looking for help with an essay, I will ask you to send me a draft so we can focus on specific areas for improvement. If you don't have a draft yet, we can start from square one and move forward with a writing strategy together. During the process, I will teach you steps you can utilize each time you work on a new essay.

Some students work with me on time management as well. We can develop a strategy and set up a schedule for drafting your paper or your dissertation chapter. I can help you customize time management resources that have helped my students budget their time more effectively--which helps reduce their stress overall.

I am happy to work with college or high school students with a positive attitude who are willing to make an effort to get outside of their comfort zone. College athletes welcome.
