Hello....
I enjoyed meeting you. Please let me know when or if you want to schedule your tutoring sessions.
I am certain we can improve your writing, reading, study skills, and rhetorical
expertise. These elements are most critical for the successful completion
of academic tasks and for your college career as well. We can do a
diagnostic on your writing and tailor your learning resources to directly
address the topic areas where you need improvement.
Perhaps you may have found yourself too
busy with ongoing classes and extracurricular activities. If so, please
contact me when your schedule permits. If you simply have decided to
obtain tutoring and assistance via alternative means, please let me know as
well.
In the meantime, I will continue too
check back and see if you have any critical tasks or papers to examine. I
remain available at your convenience.
best regards, Tim
