My name is Alissa, and I am a 23 year old college graduate with a BA in English and a minor in music performance. I worked for a year in the Pennsylvania schools before relocating to Boca Raton, FL, where I am currently located. Eventually, I will be pursing an MFA in creative writing. I have an extensive knowledge of literature (both British and American), as well as grammar and semantics. I have passed the Praxis Examination for Secondary English teaching as well. I am willing to work with students in any subject who may need help with writing, reading, or grammatical issues. I have taken both English AP exams in high school and am experienced with preparing for them (I scored 5's on both). I am also proficient at spelling and vocabulary.
I look forward to hearing from you!
