This style involves moving beyond grammar to improving the clarity of a student's writing, strength of an argument, and building greater comprehension. Additionally, I have established relationships with several international students, for whom English is not their fi... Read more
Alexis
Multi-Faceted Tutor
Hello to potential tutees! I might seem a little specialized, but I also might be just what some student needs. My main area of study is in Art History (Ph.D. student), which might help with any art appreciation or art history course you are taking, but my studies in college lead to a major in economics and a minor in both biology and psychology, which I am also pretty strong in. So, if any of these areas are the areas in which you need help, let me know!... Read more

She later received her master's in English literature from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. With that being said, she still has to work on spelling... Read more
