Landi Wright (she/her/hers)
Hi there! I’m Landi, the STEM Learning Specialist for KVCC’s TRIO program! I’ve been in this position for over 12 years, and it has been the most rewarding career. I truly enjoy helping students to succeed in math and science courses (math tutoring is my favorite part of the job!), and advising students who are working towards a degree or certificate in the health field. Having a positive impact on people trying to improve their lives is what it’s all about for me. I AM TRIO…and I wouldn’t have it any other way

Hello! I'm Laurel, and I am a proud KV TRIO alum (Liberal Studies '21), a junior at the University of Maine (English '26), and an experienced writing tutor. While I mostly work remotely during the academic year, you can sometimes find me lurking on the Teams chat or at TRIO events. I love getting to know new TRIO students, so please feel welcome to reach out anytime for support - or just to say hi!
At this time, I am only offering writing support via email. To request an asynchronous essay review, just send me an email at LDorr@mainecc.edu (you can also still reach me at my old email address, LDorr@kvcc.me.edu).
In your email, please include:
1) The draft of your assignment (preferably attached as a Microsoft Word file)
2) Assignment instructions, grading rubric from your instructor, if available.
3) Specific questions you have, or aspects of the assignment that you are concerned about
4) Assignment due date/when you need feedback by (I can't always accommodate short deadlines, but I'll do my best!)
I can usually send feedback the next day (excluding holidays), but I recommend allowing at least 2-3 days for a response.
My comments typically focus on the "big picture" over sentence-level (grammar) issues - how your essay is structured, how effectively you state and support your claims, etc. I will also describe what I see happening in the text. This will help you understand what is working well in your essay, as well as identify possible areas for revision.
Some other things I can help with...
And probably more! If it has anything to do with writing, there's a pretty good chance I can assist :)
