Tired of cramming for that history research paper or english essay? Are you not so good with spelling, grammar, syntax and composition? Wouldn't you rather be out doing your favorite activities that re-writing the same essay over and over again? Provide me with your rough draft and I will turn it into an "A" paper. I went to Crossroads School (Santa Monica, graduated '02) and UCLA (westwood, graduated '06) and my specialty is in English and History. in fact, writing of all types, including poetry assignments and short stories. Send me your essays via email and what you will receive in return will be nothing less than an "A" paper. I also write college essays too and, if you are a junior or a senior, you know what kind of a drag those can be! Am i right or what! So, what have you got to lose? Give me a try!

I usually charge $60/hr when I work with students in their homes, but to make things fair I will charge $20 a page for standard 5 pages; Each additional page is $25; and I charge $50 for assignments that are 1-2 page responses. You do the basic, easy work of gathering you material and sources, and organizing your first draft. Then send it along to me and I will clean it up so that you will undoubtedly receive an "A" paper.
