About Vanessa

My name is Vanessa, and I hold a PhD in English Literature. I currently teach writing and literature courses a university in New Jersey.

For over a decade, I have taught college-level writing, helping students develop stronger arguments, clearer analytical skills, and greater confidence in their academic work. I also teach English Literature, especially Shakespeare and early 20th century literature, as well as Philosophy.

In addition to university teaching, I have spent several years working with students online through Zoom and SuperProf. I work with a wide range of students, from high school learners preparing for AP exams to graduate students navigating the dissertation process.

I have a strategy to help you write a COMMON APP Essay that admissions officers will want to read! It's a good idea to have this essay finished by August 1, so that you can work on supplementals as soon as the applications open!

I am a Reader for the AP Language and Composition Exam.

*Dissertation consultation, editing, proofreading, and academic writing support available.

Many of my high school and undergraduate students come to me for:
• AP Language & Composition Exam preparation
• AP Literature & Composition Exam preparation
• Essay writing support
• Reading comprehension and literary analysis
• General ELA coursework assistance

I specialize in helping students strengthen their writing in a way that is clear, structured, and individualized.

I also work with graduate students on dissertations, theses, and other long-term research projects. Dissertation writing can feel overwhelming, and some graduate programs are better at preparing students for this phase than others. I help students at every stage of the process, including:

• brainstorming and topic development
• prospectus and proposal writing
• outlining and chapter organization
• argument development
• revision and committee feedback integration
• editing and proofreading

If you are confused about expectations, struggling to organize your ideas, or unsure how to strengthen your argument, I can help clarify the process and guide you step-by-step. Ask me the questions you feel uncomfortable asking your advisor!
