My name is Will Marshall and I’m a Jamaica Plain-based writing coach. This Fall, I am offering one-on-one tutoring to help students complete their college essays, as well as scholarship and supplemental essays.

I grew up in Cambridge, MA, and attended Concord Academy before going on to graduate with honors from NYU’s Journalism Institute, along with a double major in Comparative Literature and a minor in Communications.

Since graduating, I have tutored and taught writing to high schoolers and young adults, including English Language Learners, public and private school students, as well as adults applying to graduate programs.

I most recently worked at youth writing and publishing nonprofit 826 Boston. There, I wore many hats over 6+ years, one of which was developing and overseeing our college essay tutoring supporting over 500 high school juniors and seniors each year.

I am half English and half Italian, and grew up with a love of languages as I learned to speak, read, and write in both English and Italian. Then, I picked up Spanish in high school and college.

Outside of my writing work, I run a small doggy daycare business and love traveling, especially to my family’s farm in northern Italy.
