About Musa
I am a former English professor with 15 years of classroom experience and a PhD from Columbia. Helping students transform their writing is my strong suit. I enjoy working with students at all levels, and can explain complicated material clearly.

Learning is personal. A good rapport between teacher and student enables intellectual growth by encouraging students to ask questions and test ideas. I try to meet each individual student where they are and to work together to develop their skills.
Students at all levels are welcome. Essay help is a particular strength of my teaching. I offer practical, specific advice for immediate revision. I have a deep knowledge of English, classical, and world literature and can guide students through difficult course material. I am also available to prepare students for standardized tests (including the GRE English literature subject test), and to help professionals who are non-native speakers gain greater proficiency in English.

Perfect! Musa is very intuitive to the ideas I am trying to bring across in my writing and her poignant remarks make me better realize the direction to take for the narrative to create the best read for the narrative I am trying to build. She is responsive and flexible in her hours. Highly recommend her a a tutor and editor.

I had Musa Gurnis as a professor for two courses when I was in college. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. I found that her excitement made the subject material more accessible for me, as her enthusiasm was contagious. From a hard-skills perspective, she taught me to be a much better writer and editor. I still approach projects with her standards in mind several years later. I would absolutely recommend her as an instructor and can vouch for her legitimacy.
I am a law student at Washington University School of Law, and I had the sublime privilege to be taught by the distinguished Professor Musa Gurnis. When I was a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis, I took my first class with Professor Gurnis, and I could not leave the university without taking more. Professor Gurnis never cuts corners; she gives every class everything that she has. She is active, and she is brilliant. I would describe her teaching style as aggressive compassion. She encourages reading texts aloud and physically acting out scenes (and virtual learning will be unlikely to change that). Her students grow because she tells us when we are right and instructs us when we are wrong. She digs deeply into the text from the entendres, to the puns, to the pentameter. It was never enough to just have her students know the material. Musa Gurnis lifts the texts off of the page. She demands excellence, and she demands engagement. She always knows where to meet her students in their learning, and I have personally seen her face light up when we meet her as well. She is a gem to every student she instructs, and she never disappoints.
Having worked closely with Musa on a theatrical project, her knowledge and experience on the dramaturgical subjects was outstanding. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is also friendly and a joy to work with! I would definitely recommend her for any help you need!
I was Musa's Shakespeare student and give her my highest recommendation without reservation. Musa makes learning an enjoyable challenge that meets the learner at his or her current level and helps foster growth in a trusting environment. Her writing instruction remains the most helpful I've ever received.
