The students I have worked with consistently get high marks on papers and standardized tests. Students frequently comment that they leave our sessions with a clearer idea of how they want to communicate their ideas. This has proved helpful in college application essays as well as papers for high school, college, and graduate school.

I believe that students learn best when their personal life experiences are valued and incorporated into their education. I help students improve their reading and writing skills while uncovering key literary concepts that reveal ways texts can be meaningful to them.

I enjoy getting to know my students and figuring out their strengths and weaknesses so I can help them get the most out of our sessions. I try to pique students' interest in writing by connecting it to their hobbies. I’ve helped a student increase her grade in English from 75% to 95%, while helping college students raise their grades on papers by 10%.

How Gooroo tutors teach English Writing
Yes, Gooroo tutors can absolutely help you with your homework, essay, book, etc. But in the process, your tutor will also use your session time to make you an overall better writer, a skill that you’ll value for a lifetime. Here’s how.
-
They make writing fun and relatableGooroo tutors make writing fun by giving prompts and topics that relate to the student’s interests and passions, and their learning goals. For example, our tutor might prompt a student to analyze a favorite book or film, or reflect on a current event or topic that makes them enthusiastic. Or, if a student wanted to improve on her business writing, a Gooroo tutor might suggest writing about the performance of their favorite company or product.
-
They help students build a strong foundationGooroo tutors prepare students with a foundation of skills in writing that will equip them for years to come. This includes topics such as the purpose of writing, genres of writing, grammar, vocabulary/word choice, sentence and essay structure, the process of writing, and how to research. Your Gooroo tutor will make sure you learn what’s needed (and beyond!) for your age and writing level, and will work with you on a personalized plan based on your needs.
We set the bar for education that is honest, caring, and sustainable.
Unlike other companies, we strive to be transparent, pay our tutors top rates, and give back to the community.

What parents and students say

My daughter cried that she didn’t want a tutor before our first Gooroo writing session. But she had the most wonderful experience with her Gooroo tutor. Her tutor made it fun and exciting and my daughter asked right away when she was coming back. The tutor is very personable and understands exactly where and what my daughter needs help with. I highly recommend Gooroo!
