About Us
Stylus Tutors was founded by three graduates of the Master’s writing program at Sarah Lawrence College. As writers who value the intense discipline and discretion involved in achieving proficient writing skills, we were consistently disenchanted by the limits of teaching within the rigorously structured environment of the classroom – be it a course offered by a university, test-prep company, or non-profit organization. Drawing on our experience from all these sites, we have tailored a new kind of instruction. Instead of catering to a mass, we nurture the individual. Instead of homogenized test strategies, we teach the material itself for long-term utilization. Instead of dated, textbook exercises, we craft our own progressive drills that advance material memory and concentration. We do this with the understanding that students are not robots; that supplying a student with a well-balanced regimen of information, technique and supplementary reading by preeminent writers will lead to the best results.
We chose to name our company Stylus to affirm the importance of writing in any endeavor, whether it be acing the SAT, gaining acceptance to your dream college, or communicating effectively with friends, instructors, or colleagues. Our goal is to provide each student with a stylus—the tool with which to carve an indelible impression upon the world.
