English & Writing Support for Teens
Academic English tutoring for students with writing and reading gaps.
Areas of Support
I provide one-on-one support for teens and college students with reading, writing, academic language, and executive functioning challenges.
These are not always separate services in practice. Many students need support in more than one area, and sessions are tailored accordingly. The goal is not to fit a student into a narrow category, but to provide the right combination of support based on what is actually getting in the way
A student may come for writing support, for example, while also needing help with reading comprehension, organization, or academic confidence.
-
Support with reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and academic language.
-
Support with essays, written expression, organization, and revision.
-
Support with comprehension, analysis, and responding to complex texts.
-
Support with planning, task initiation, follow-through, and managing academic demands.

About Ted
For over a decade, I’ve helped teens and college students whose strengths aren’t always reflected in their writing or reading performance.
My sessions build English skills for clear writing, close reading, and long-term independence, especially for students with uneven language development or who benefit from structured, step-by-step instruction.
I’m a Houston native, but deliver all lessons remotely and have students all over the US. If you require in-person sessions, please reach out and we can discuss options.
