Tutoring Services:
I have over five years of experience as a tutor working with undergraduate and graduate students. I specialize in tutoring academic writing in the social sciences and humanities.
Academic writing doesn’t need to be a scary or confusing process. Becoming the best writer you can be will sharpen your own thinking, make writing fun, and help you to connect with your audience—whether that audience is your course instructor, your thesis or dissertation committee, or the attendees of an academic conference! Working collaboratively with you, I will create a personalized tutoring experience, helping you to achieve your academic goals and develop confidence and skills as a writer.
I provide in-person tutoring in the Philadelphia area and remote tutoring (via zoom) for those who live outside of the Philadelphia area or who prefer the flexibility and comfort of online tutoring.
Please reach out to me via the link below for further information regarding scheduling, rates, and to address your particular tutoring needs.
Testimony from Students:
“Blake has exceptional pedagogical talent. She helped me structure a still very rough draft of a conference paper and see its strengths and weaknesses, and gave me clear, helpful advice on how to proceed. On top, she motivated me very much to keep going.”
˜
“Blake helped me cut through my own draft insecurity by acknowledging the parts that were doing what I thought they should be doing, while zeroing in on the sections that needed clarifying detail, better signposting, etc.”
˜
“Blake tailored the appointment to exactly what I needed.”
˜
“Blake was sensitive and understanding. I gave her very specific information about the kinds of feedback that I needed and she was really thoughtful and processed it all as she read my paper, which was very helpful!”
