"Lara worked with my high school aged daughter in 10th, 11th and continues to tutor her in 12th grade with any research or writing assignments across the curriculum. Lara not only has a strong skill set in writing, but also on how to compose a strong thesis statement, effectively research the topic, organize a paper and then revising and editing. My daughter has gained many invaluable writing techniques as well as confidence in her writing capabilities." MHS Parent

It's not too early for high school juniors to be thinking about college essays. Get a head start and enjoy that smug feeling of having one less thing to worry about in September 😊

The majority of stress and work in the admissions process stems from the essay writing and students should spend a lot of time crafting their essays.

Grammar is fun! Well, maybe not fun. Let’s go with interesting and important. For an entertaining read on the subject, you can’t go wrong with Dreyer’s English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style. (And yes, I am reading it on the beach. And yes, I can start a sentence with “and”!)

“I have written a wicked book and I feel as spotless as a lamb.” So said Herman Melville on finishing his masterpiece, Moby Dick.

Check out the Moby Dick Big Read from the University of Plymouth for an accessible way to get into this classic. http://www.mobydickbigread.com
