ESSAY, STEM, & SAT/ACT/MCAT TUTORING (in-person and/or online)
The Essay Coach process:
- The student e-mails Dan a phone-photo or scan of the essay that s/he wrote, and now wants edited
- Dan types the essay as written (ie, without corrections) into a Word document
- Then, during the (in-person or online*) session between the student & Dan, all of the following are done simultaneously:
- Dan edits the Word document of the essay WHILE
- The student participates & watches her/his essay in Word as it is being edited WHILE
- Dan asks the student pertinent editing questions - through which Dan teaches Essay Writing to the student
*For online sessions:
- Both the student & the tutor share the Word document of the essay on their screens
- Editing comments are clearly noted, and saved, in Word’s “Review” mode
- After the session, the document – now replete w/ edit notes – is e-mailed to the student
- After the session, the video and/or audio of the entire session can be e-mailed to the student if a recording was requested before the session began
