Experience
Please visit my website: writingtutorjulie.com A highly skilled and experienced instructor, I offer writing support for individual projects and constructive coaching in writing skills. I’ve been a mentor to students at all levels, from middle school through postgraduate studies, and specialize in personal essays for college and graduate school admissions. In tutorial sessions, I accompany the student through the process of writing an essay, from outline and organization through drafts and revision to final grammar and spelling reviews. We begin with a discussion of the goals, assignment or essay topic, work on creative and appropriate solutions. My approach is warm and supportive, with a focus on discovering hidden skills and building confidence. Through the tutoring process, I also aim to convey my own love of writing and literature to offer an experience of lasting value.

She is a thoughtful professional who creates a warm and trusting environment for her students; had a clear grasp of the different approaches each one needed; and encouraged an appreciation, not just of writing, but of writing well.” — Susan Baskin and Richard Gerwitz, Santa Monica “Julie Goodman offers students precise direction while giving them the confidence and freedom to explore their creativity and candor.” — Rana Kirkland, Wellness Coach for Kids
