Your Personal Writing Coach, College Application Guide & Language Tutor
Are you searching for a tutor who builds your student's skills one session at a time, and not just helps them cram for tomorrow?
Hi, I'm Jonathan! 👋
See What I OfferIsn't It Wild How Much Pressure One Essay Can Create?
Your student sits down to write… and nothing comes out. 😬
You figured they'd just pick it up on their own or at school eventually, right?
Turns out writing is a skill — not something you're born with.
Or maybe your student is capable — you know they are — but they don't see the path from where they are now to the college or university they want. You just need someone to help them start walking it.
Whether you're a parent watching your child dread every English assignment, or a student staring down a college application deadline with no clue where to start — it doesn't have to feel this impossible.
You just need the right support.
I'm Here to Make Writing Feel a Lot Less Scary
You don't need a big tutoring center. You need someone who actually shows up, session after session, and knows your student by name.
Hi again! I'm Jonathan, your 1-on-1 writing coach, learning strategist, college application guide, and Spanish tutor. I've been working with students from middle school to working adults since 2019, building real skills, not just crossing assignments off a list.
Sessions aren't lectures — they're conversations. I help students figure out how they learn best, so that confidence carries into every class and every assignment.
From cracking open a blank doc together to polishing a final college essay draft, I focus on the whole student: helping them overcome the fear of writing first, then giving them the tools to actually enjoy it. Students who enjoy writing write better. It really is that simple.
So why keep struggling through it alone?
Let's set up a session and get to work.

What Other People Say About Me
Jonathan has worked with my 11-year-old for his English writing for a couple years now. He is knowledgeable, patient, and fun to work with. Jonathan comes up with creative prompts for my son to work on and reviews his writing during class. During lessons, he covers many aspects of writing, from the outline to sentence structure and grammar. When giving my son feedback, Jonathan is positive and encouraging. My boy enjoys Jonathan's writing lessons and says he likes writing more now.
"I recommend Jonathan to any student who wants not only to write better but to enjoy writing."
"Very knowledgeable and patient tutor"
I love the rationale and the way that he teaches my kids. Before giving them the writing tools and skills, the first step is to help them overcome their fear of writing. The key is to gradually develop, not just a couple times only. He also enjoys sharing his experiences and advice which are very helpful and inspiring for my sons. In addition, Jonathan is convincing and friendly with my younger son. So far, Ryan has enjoyed every lesson. He is also patient with my older son, who was initially reluctant to try writing tutoring. Jonathan related to him with his favorite topic — programming — and now willingly participates in the lessons. If you are a parent who wants to foster a love of writing in your kids, I strongly recommend Jonathan as a writing tutor.
