About Norm

I started tutoring English and ESL as an undergraduate student in a junior college in 2001, secured a position as a writing center director/tutor in a junior college in 2007, and continued tutoring during my graduate studies.

As a result, I have tutored hundreds of students over many hundreds of hours not only in ESL and English classes but also in courses that required academic essays such as history and political science. In addition, I have tutored many students in their personal statements and statements of purpose for admission to universities and graduate programs.
