Here’s my essay question and my notes. Help me build a…My argument feels weak. What am I missing?

Hi, I’m Maya.

Blank page? Notes everywhere? Bring them. We’ll find the argument you actually believe, turn it into a thesis you can defend, and build a section-by-section plan with a word budget, so you’re not building the plane mid-air.

How I work

1I ask for your gut answer first

2I plan. You write.

3I hand Jordan the same brief and rubric when you’re ready

Every session starts with what I need from you.

What Maya does

Essay Planner, built for one job.

Notes everywhere? Ideas half-formed? Not sure how to start? Maya turns scattered thoughts into a clear outline you can actually follow. She helps you see your argument before you write it, so the outline is finished before the first paragraph is.

01A thesis you can defend

Not the safe one. The one you can argue for 2,000 words.

02Outline with a word budget

Every section knows how long it is and what job it does.

03Source plan per section

Which reading goes where, and where you’re thin.

04Fits the rubric

Built around what your marker rewards, not what’s easiest to write.

What Maya helps with

Bring any of these.

Turn notes into an outlineSharpen a thesisStructure a compare-and-contrastWord budget per sectionMap sources to sectionsPlan a research paperPlace the counter-argumentIntro and conclusion strategy

3. You getStructured, useful supportA thesis you can defend, a section-by-section outline, and a source plan for each section.

Hand you a thesis without your input
Ignore the rubric
