The Write Mentor

College Essay; Writing/Literature Tutor; SAT/ACT

I’ve been a PRIVATE ENGLISH TUTOR since 2003. I tutor students in middle school, high school, & college, including AP Lang, AP Lit, APUSH, and AP Gov.


May is SAT time. If you want some support in these next few weeks on the Writing and/or Reading section(s), give me a call. We can do a lot in a short time.

SUMMER means College Essay. It’s the perfect time. The College Essay is not an essay. It’s a Personal Statement; it is not academic. It’s creative. Let me help make your “essay” excellent.

Summer (Four to Six Week) Workshops for 7th/8th graders and 9th/10th graders will be announced soon! Share your ideas with me!


I serve all of Fairfield County high school students. Also, now, more than ever, I provide services via phone, FaceTime, Zoom, and google.docs anywhere in the country.

Please contact me for a free consultation: 203 454 2629 or WriteMentor@gmail.com.

“I can’t say enough about the help that Deirdre gave my grandson. She was genuinely interested in his success throughout the whole process. She helped, not only with his SAT preparation, but also with his senior year homework, filling out the Common Application, his essays, and even suggesting colleges. I am very grateful to Deirdre for providing outstanding support for my grandson and for making the experience so much less stressful with her caring and enthusiastic encouragement.
