Rather than merely suggesting a topic or editing one’s work, Steven takes an immersive, hands-on approach as he collaborates with students. He guides them to showcase their unique personalities through essays with the proper structure, tone, and creativity essential for success.
Steven works with students across the academic spectrum, high achievers and those who have difficulty in school. Whether you are well along your way or struggling to get started, he can aid you in perfecting all aspects of your writing.
