Guidance for Independent Minds

Agora Education offers tutoring in writing, history, and literature, as well as academic coaching (i.e., support in building time management, organization, and learning skills). We place a premium on independence and agency; the goal is not just to to “get through content” or to “get across the finish line,” but to help students to prepare for—and to live today—a life of curiosity, expertise, and well-earned confidence. The student is in the driver’s seat, and Agora Education is here to help.

I’m Matt, and… I’m Agora Education. :-) If you’re curious who I am or what my approach to various topics is, please see the About page. If you want to see what services I provide, keep scrolling down!

Proofreading and Writing Feedback

$50/hr

Need a seasoned second set of eyes on your writing (academic or otherwise)? I offer various types of proofreading to students, adults, and professional/business organizations alike. In order of expected time commitment:

  • Quick-and-dirty line edits

  • Structural/style analysis

  • Mentoring-through-proofreading (where all suggestions are accompanied by explanations that help you learn the craft of writing).
