About Michelle
I provide premium, start-to-finish academic writing support exclusively for university and graduate-level students.
I am a practicing California attorney, a graduate of UBC’s Honours English Language and Literatures program, and a former teaching assistant for undergraduate literature courses. I received UBC’s Trek Excellence Scholarship for ranking within the top 5 percent of my class and graduated with an undergraduate GPA equivalent to 3.96 on the LSAC scale.
I bring more than 2,000 hours of tutoring experience and have worked with students ranging from first-year undergraduates to master’s and doctoral candidates. I have received 25 reviews through Superprof.
To date, every English essay I have guided through my complete coaching and editing process has earned an A-range grade. This is a record of past student outcomes, not a guarantee of a future professor’s decision.
My service is designed for students who want far more than proofreading. I help students develop the argument, analysis, structure, and clarity expected in strong university writing.
I regularly assist with:
• Literary analysis and close reading
• Research essays and term papers
• History, humanities, and social-science papers
• Thesis and argument development
• Source selection, synthesis, and integration
• Research proposals and literature reviews
• Graduate-level papers
• Thesis and dissertation chapters
• Personal statements and graduate-school applications
• Major revisions following professor or supervisor feedback
Many students understand their course material but do not know how to convert that knowledge into an original, persuasive argument. Others receive comments such as “too descriptive,” “unclear thesis,” “needs more analysis,” or “poor organization” without being shown how to correct the underlying problem.
I make those expectations concrete.

My full academic-writing process may include:
• Interpreting the assignment prompt and grading rubric
• Identifying the central intellectual problem
• Developing and testing possible thesis statements
• Planning research and identifying evidentiary gaps
• Building a source-synthesis matrix
• Developing a student-authored outline
• Live drafting and analytical-development sessions
• Developmental editing for argument and organization
• Line editing for clarity, concision, and style
• Citation and formatting review
• A final paragraph-by-paragraph rubric audit
• A post-assignment review to apply instructor feedback to future work
My feedback is direct, detailed, and highly personalized. I do not merely tell students that a paragraph is weak. I explain what the paragraph is trying to accomplish, why it is not yet persuasive, and what intellectual work remains necessary.
Before our first meeting, students should send:
• The complete assignment prompt
• The grading rubric
• The deadline
• The course and academic level
• Required readings or sources
• Any notes, outline, or draft already prepared
• Relevant feedback from previous assignments
The complimentary first meeting is a 15-minute consultation to assess the assignment, timeline, and appropriate level of support. It is not a complimentary editing session.
Fixed-scope essay, research-paper, and thesis packages are available for students who want support throughout the entire process.

Perfect! very helpful
Perfect! Michelle is a very kind and intelligent tutor. She is patient and dedicates a great deal of time to supporting her students. I appreciate how she encourages you to think critically, which has improved my essay writing abilities. Her feedback is always insightful, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs support with essay writing.
Excellent! Michelle is a very good teacher and from her conversation, my son can get the point that different writing styles needs different requirements.

- Kristine is such a pleasure to work withMichelle's response :
Perfect! Michelle was fantastic. Super patient and explained things with a lot of detail. Her way of teaching made it easy to learn. Highly recommend her!
Perfect! She is teaching my daughter English 11. She is a high-level teacher, extremely knowledgeable in any English teaching. As well, she is a friendly and patient teacher who is caring for kids. Smart, kind and bright plus punctual and professional! I highly recommend her as a tutor!
- Hannah is a pleasure to work withMichelle's response :
Perfect! I contacted Michelle for help with a first-year English essay. Since I'm a Science major, writing essays is out of my comfort zone, therefore she guided me through the entire process of close-reading, outlining, and writing. Michelle was diligent, punctual, extremely patient, and thoroughly answered many of my questions throughout my 6 (and a half) sessions with her. Overall, we were both very happy with the essay that was produced and I highly recommend her!

Recommendations

If you're looking to improve your academic writing Michelle is the perfect tutor for you! Since our first meeting, I've noticed a massive improvement in all categories of my writing. Michelle understands what a great university paper requires and is able to guide you step-by-step on how to get there. Michelle also has a great personality which makes working with her a very enjoyable time. I highly recommend any individual to ask for her assistance.
She knows how to write an English essay!
My son was struggling in his first year university writing course so I found Michelle. He did 5 sessions with Michelle for his final research paper and he told me he learned more from her than he learned all through high school. Highly recommend
Went from a 143 to 164 on the LSAT. couldn’t have done it without Michelle.
She’s great! Michelle changed the game when it came to my LSAT prep. She identified my problems right away I’m getting better at diagramming. Hoping to see results on this august exam.
Michelle is a trustworthy,helpful and well educated English tutor. She is passionate about teaching. It’s great to have her as my English tutor.
Michelle is considerate teacher
and she knows how to communicate with teenagers. My son was very shy and didn’t talk much at the beginning during the tutorial. Michelle is being very patient with him and help him out little by little. I am so glad we found Michelle as my son’s tutor. She helps a lot.Michelle is punctual, attentive, a great listener, flexible in her approach, has the ability to explain concepts in easily transferable terms, and an overall valuable member of the Superprof team. We are so thankful to have found her!
As one of her best friends, I have always admired Michelle for her patience and professionalism when it comes to work, which make her the perfect tutor one could ever ask for. In addiction to these qualities that make one a good tutor, Michelle is incredibly smart and will be able to help you explore new ideas on any subject matter. If you are looking for an intelligent and approachable tutor, look no further and reach out to Michelle!
老师很好哦,讲的很详细,英语课帮助了我很多。
My six grader loves Michelle so much, after her first week writing lesson with Michelle, she told me, “I am so happy I know how to put the thoughts in my mind onto my essay now, it will be a hight quality work this time".
Michelle is a patient, cheerful and reliable tutor, she always well organise and prepare the lesson. She explained everything she taught with clarity and made sure my daughter could understand all, she showed her how to do editing work and let her see how the difference was. She also lead my daughter practice critical thinking for the book they read together. She always text me to let me know the progress and her recommendation.
My daughter has three lessons with Michelle every week now, but she never complained about homework or if it was too much.
I am so appreciate she helped my daughter find the interest of writing and helped build up her confidence on writing.Michelle helped me get an A for both my first year English final paper and my Asian studies research paper. She helped me come up with ideas I didn’t even know I had. I wish all English professors were as attentive and helpful as she is. She is very patient and worked through the entire process with me. Definitely recommend!
You will come to know Michelle for how insightful she is. And not just toward the subject matter she's teaching, but to you, the student. Michelle can somehow always tell when her explanations are working or not, and if not, she is able to swiftly adopt different approaches until the problem starts to make sense. Give her the most challenging problems you have, and she will patiently work with you to find that "aha!" moment.
非常专业的一位老师,教学水平高,能力强,知识渊博,有耐心,敬业,超级推荐!
I’ve known Michelle for 10 years now and we went to school together. I’ve always looked up to, and sought inspiration from her passion for creativity, patience to growth, and curiosity for knowledge all these years. As a good friend and fellow student, Michelle had helped me structure, proofread, edit, and rewrite my highschool English papers, college admission essays, and now even research proposals. Her craft in writing and her compassion for her students will make her a great tutor for English and will inspire her students to love English as a subject.
I met Michelle a little over a year ago, and it has been an incredible journey. She is genuinely interested in my language and writing development and has consistently went above and beyond in finding new ways to instill ideas that are effective and enjoyable to use. Everything I have been learning has been easier with her help, and I would recommend to anyone to try her out. You cannot be disappointed in choosing Michelle. Honestly, just talk to her for two minutes and you will see!
Given her breadth of knowledge, I think she should be teaching more than just English, literature, writing, and Mandarin Chinese. I would hire her for anything academic.View more recommendations
