Alex is well prepared and detail-oriented and works hard during the sessions to make sure my son understands what she is working on with him.

Alexandra worked with me very diligently and helped me with several college supplemental essays. Alex knew exactly what college admissions officers were looking for which helped me include critical information in my essays. Also, I was able to engage in conversation with Alex about how to go about revising my essays. She approaches the essay sentence by sentence and makes sure that the essential question: "so what?" is always answered within the writing. I recommend Alex as a tutor for anyone in need of help for any piece of writing.
