I love to read and write, so you are coming to the right place. I have plenty of experience with general papers as will as FYS essays ranging from any topic. I specialize in news writing, journalism, AP style, literary analysis and also dabble in some government papers as it used to be my major/minor. Even if I didn’t mention it as an interest, I am willing to tackle anything you send my way, whether you just want me to skim over writing or to help you brainstorm an entirely new piece! You’ve got this.

Jocelyn Baas
- Majors | English and Languages Literatures & Cultures, with writing and pre-law emphases
I am a flexible tutor who is willing to take a look at almost anything with which you need help. My favorite writing subjects are English, government/law, social studies, journalism and Civitas; additionally, I was pre-med at one point and can navigate STEM assignments. Essentially, feel free to bring me any subject and I will give it my best. I am familiar with most major citation styles – MLA, APA and Chicago – but am willing to learn new ones as needed. I thoroughly enjoy every stage of the writing process; that said, I do particularly like “clean-up,” fixing grammar errors and adjusting sentence structure.
Caroline Sudbeck
I graduated as an English and secondary education double major with minors in Spanish and teaching English as a new language in Spring 2024. This fall I started the Master of Education (M.Ed.) Program at Augustana! I’m happy to help graduate students with papers at any stage in the writing process. I’m most experienced with MLA, APA and AP style guidelines, but I am happy to brush up on any major citation styles before we meet. I can’t wait to do some wordsmithing this year. Happy writing!

Majors | Computer Science and Media Studies
While I’m happy to work with you on any paper or project, I feel most comfortable working with papers written in MLA and Chicago styles. My favorite part of writing is making tiny grammar corrections, fixing the “flow” of sentences and paragraphs, and finalizing papers for submission. However, I can also appreciate the power of a complete revision when necessary. I’m ready to learn and be challenged this year; I hope you are too!
