I give my highest recommendation of D. White! From start to finish he was an amazing writing tutor. Our first phone call alone was super helpful and he was always super tailored to my needs. I went to UC Berkeley and already felt like I had strong writing skills but D helped me take my writing to the next level. All the comments that he left on my essays were so helpful and truly helped me shaped my essay into what it needed to be. Darius is the person you should go to if you need to rework your whole essay but he is also the person you can go to for minor edits and accountability. D is also super affordable and ultimately just wants to see you succeed. If you are looking for a writing coach that will help you with any type of writing and actually wants to see you do well I would definitely recommend Darius - you will not be disappointed!!

Darius White coached me step by step throughout the entire writing process. He gave me a ton of feedback. He was super mobile using technologies like audio, video, and email to communicate right away. As a result, I was constantly encouraged. Most significant is that my focus sharpened tremendously. At the end, by working together we produced a very clear statement of purpose. I strongly recommend Darius because his coaching method resonated all my creative senses.
