I've read thousands of essays. I know what works.

After years teaching college writing, I started professorshaw.com to give every college student access to personalized feedback that changes outcomes. I help college writers reach their full potential.

My background

I spent over three decades as a college writing professor, teaching composition, literature, and creative writing. I've graded thousands of essays and know the elements of a successful paper.

When I started coaching students privately, the results were immediate. Students who had struggled for years grew confident and comfortable. The writing process became easier and their grades improved.

I HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE TEACHING ADULTS RETURNING TO SCHOOL AFTER MANY YEARS. RUST-REMOVAL IS A SPECIALTY.

How I work

Your voice, YOUR IDEAS

I never write or rewrite your essay for you. My job is to ask the right questions and help you say what you already mean — more clearly, more powerfully.

Honest feedback

I'll tell you what's working and what isn't without empty praise or sugarcoating. You deserve feedback you can actually use.

TANGIBLE results

You will see improvement in your grades after you submit the first paper we work on. Don't wait until panic mode sets in at the end of the semester.
