About Me

Deirdre Higgins is an amazing editor! I needed editing for my PhD dissertation and Deirdre came recommended to me from a friend at USC. She meticulously went over each page of my dissertation to make sure grammar, syntax, organization, and punctuation were accurate. She was highly professional, easy to communicate with, and she got the corrections back to me quickly. Thanks, Deirdre.

Deirdre is a fantastic writing tutor. She is able to expertly guide the creative process of writing to reflect her student's unique thoughts and emotions so that the end result is an original piece of work. At the same time, she's incredibly diligent about teaching and reinforcing grammar rules. She instills confidence and lifelong writing skills. My daughter loves working with Deirdre and has improved tremendously in high school English under her tutelage.

Writing dozens of college application essays in a short period of time was an incredibly difficult task for my son, but Deirdre helped him craft each idea into an interesting and compelling story. After reading each draft, she would  articulate ways for him to improve the essays and how to infuse them with his passion, his struggle, and his pride. And in the end, his character shone through, resulting in acceptances from  UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Harvey Mudd College.
