About Margo
Hello Learners!
Do you struggle with writing papers and understanding teacher assignments? I can help you with reading, constructing, and revising your writing to learn effectively and get ahead in your studies. I have tutored and taught writing from middle-school age through college adults and professionals. Let's see what I can do for you!
Please contact me directly at margo.kanthak"at"gmail.com
I taught English composition at St. Cloud State University for two and a half years and I was a trained tutor in the writing center.

The first step is to understand the PURPOSE of your writing. Is it a school assignment, a resume, or maybe a professional article? Once we know the context, we can think about what to write and the proper elements to include.
Next, we BRAINSTORM to come up with ideas that fit the purpose and, most importantly, the AUDIENCE who will read your writing. Think about how differently you'd write to your mother as opposed to a bank president.
Sometimes it helps to FREE WRITE to jump-start the process. No need to worry about organization, spelling, or general construction at this point. You're just thinking on paper.
RESEARCH comes next -- or if the word "research" scares you, think of it as DISCOVERY! You want to show a balanced knowledge about your topic. What are your own assumptions and what do others think?
ORGANIZE topics and show your CRITICAL THINKING process. All the steps above are PRE-WRITING. Now you're ready to dazzle your audience with your topic knowledge and writing skill.
I have worked with writers from middle-school ages through adults in settings with wide cultural and international diversity.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
PURPOSE -- why are you writing a particular piece? (No, not just because the teacher assigned it.) What is the objective? Are you informing your readers or encouraging them to do something?
AUDIENCE -- who will read your piece? What might they already know about the topic? What might they already think -- positive or negative?
What do you think about the topic? Do you know anything about it or are you learning something new?
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I liked how she helped me to transcribe my thoughts clearly and efficiently in the essay she helped me write. She also helped me with a lot of other essays I wrote, which in turn helped me improve my writing skills overall. It is because of her that I am able to write more clearly, neatly and distinctly.
Margo Kanthak is an enthusiastic and generous teacher. I recommend her to whoever is considering employing her.Margo has a lot of life and academic experience and is willing to share what she knows with everyone. She is excellent at collaborating, listening, and reiterating--all skills necessary for an effective tutoring session. Margo is also patient, kind, and understanding.
Margo was focused on making sure we understood the material that she was teaching. She made sure the class knew what was expected and if we did not fully understand she took time to answer questions and talk about what was confusing. Also I felt that Margo was focused more on making us better writers and not just making sure we passed the class.
Professional, knowledgable, patient. Margo listens before advising like any effective consultant would do. She has experience instructing writing at several different levels--high-school, college, graduate school, and the workplace. Margo is a great writer herself and values how individuals learn about their subjects as well as themselves throughout the composing process.
She was a person that I was not afraid to go to. She was willing to teach me whenever I needed help. She also made me fell more confident about my writing.
Margo is an amazing tutor. She gives constructive critisicims and helps you improve. She also gives you lessons that will help excel at other projects. Any student would be lucky to have her as a tutor!

Details
I typically charge $25 per hour (one hour minimum, then half-hour increments) plus $10 round-trip travel. I prefer to meet you in person at least the first time.
For follow-up review (such as Google Docs online or MS Word docs emailed to me) and Skype, no travel is charged.
I am usually available for late afternoon, evening, and weekend appointments.
