As your child's private tutor, I believe that my role is to provide both support and challenge in a positive learning environment. One-on-one tuition allows a student room to breathe and test their skills and understanding not without fear of failure, but without fear of the negative consequences that failure in a classroom setting can entail. My tutoring philosophy is Socratic—I believe in asking students questions to let them find their way to the correct and logical answer, and in them a...

Carmen W. from Bowie, MD
Alexis is a great tutor. We have had only two sessions with Alexis, but have noticed a shift in our daughter's confidence and approach to reading.
Raquel M. from Bowie, MD
Alexis has been able to assist my son since I have been deployed. His studies have improved since the tutoring sessions started. My son continues to have a love for learning as she creates various ways to make learning fun.
Abenaa N. from Upper Marlboro, MD
Alexis has conducted three sessions with my daughter. My daughter understands her style of teaching and feels comfortable. I see that her confidence has increased and doesn't shy away from difficult math problems. Also she is starting to enjoy reading too!
Erika J. from Churchton, MD
I have been learning French with Alexis for three years and now I am eight. I always look forward to my lessons. Recently, I had a dream where Alexis and I were choosing cakes and I was translating French to English in my sleep, for example, volent gateau meant fly cake. That is just one example of how Alexis has influenced me.
JoAnn C. from Bowie, MD
We began working with Alexis at the 11th hour, only 2 weeks before my daughter's senior research paper was due. Alexis jumped right in and got my daughter on the right track. Teenager can be hard to please and be skeptical of people but she got along with Alexis right away. Her style really put my daughter at ease and got her focused on finishing her paper. Alexis really put in the extra effort to making my daughter's paper a success and we look forward to continuing to work with her through her literature class.
Tarey D. from Temple Hills, MD
Alexis is an absolutely great tutor. She has been working with my ninth grader for several months now. Alexis tutors my child mostly in French and math (for homework, quizzes, and exams), but she will switch gears and tutor my child in any subject I request (even at the last minute). I appreciate how Alexis has shown my child ways (useful tools) to get organized so my child is able to study properly for quizzes and exams. She is teaching my child how to cut down to the "main point/topics" and study and remember. She makes learning fun. Alexis is also flexible with her time. She has accommodated many changes in our family schedule. My child NEVER complains when I tell her that Alexis is coming over for a tutoring session. I would **highly** recommend Alexis as a tutor.
Andrea B. from Bowie, MD
Alexis is very knowledgeable in so many areas. She is very patient with my children. I definitely appreciate her flexibility with our summer schedules. We plan to use Alexis' services during the school year.
Angela M. from Welcome, MD
From the moment Alexis starting asking my daughter questions, I knew she was the one. My child has been struggling with math and other subjects. Alexis stepped right in and got my daughter's attention. Alexis offers more than just tutoring, she approaches my daughter with that one on one concept and talking at my daughter's level to pull her in by asking specific questions. I will post our results once we get them. We just started the sessions. I would highly recommend Alexis.
Deesha P. from Bowie, MD
Alexis is everything we were looking for in a tutor for our daughter...and more! She's highly professional, smart, flexible, and personable. Our daughter relates to her well and eager to go to tutoring each week because of the rapport that Alexis has built with her (in a very short time!) and because she's now feeling more confident about her school work, after just a few tutoring sessions.
Antionette W. from Upper Marlboro, MD
Thank you for meeting with us, It seems that you are a good fit! Alana is really excited about working with you, and my husband and I feel that you are committed to helping her achieve her goals. Thank you for being so patient with us as we explained our concerns. We look forward to a long successful relationship.

Alexis has been a great help to my daughter. Her patience and knowledge of all subjects has mad a great difference in my daughters skills. Math has been her biggest improvement. Thank you Alexis for giving my daughter a lot more confidence in her school work!
AVA B. from Fort Washington, MD
Ms Alexis G. was outstanding. She gave my daughter insight on how to approach and solve her reading & math problems. She kept my daughter's attention and she stayed engaged. I will strongly endorse Ms. Alexis, she is caring, patient, professional and extremely skillful. She exceeded our expectations and we look forward to our next tutorial and she is one to keep.
Ty M. from Upper Marlboro, MD
Alexis is a patient tutor with great structure to her lessons for our 6 year old. I've been pleased with her use of stickers, explanations and pacing. We are lucky to have her!
Jacque M. from Chesapeake Beach, MD
Calie the 11 year old worked on her math and she finally seems to be understanding it. Bella who is 6 really enjoyed her lesson and is very excited to see her again.

Alexis is a creative and engaging math tutor for my 8 year old son! She is able to keep his attention and teach him concepts to help him succeed in his classes. She is exactly the type of tutor I needed for my son.
Alphria A. from Mount Laurel, NJ
Alexis is a great tutor, she helps me with my vocabulary, when ever she comes to tutor me I will learn a new word excellent in English. She has the time to explain things that you don't understand. Since she started teaching me English my grades has when up. She's also very engaging she helps me with projects Alexis lets you to independent which is good for a student.

After several sessions, my girls are working diligently to improve their scores with Alexis' coaching. They have built a strong rapport of communication and trust in her practices. I would recommend her highly based upon my Daughters' interactions.
