He is helping my 9th grader with Language Arts - grammar and essay writing. I must say, the onset of high school was made easy under the expert guidance of Mr. Davis, who made some great book recommendations over the summer and coached my son how to write effectively. He continues to encourage my son to follow current events that should help him with other subjects too. I was very pleased to see my son's recent essay with its fine word choices and variety of sentences.

Unlike many other tutors, he really cares about the final product that is put out. Alex will spend extra time and go the extra mile to be sure that the essay is perfect. Alex will go through the essay with you to make sure that it is grammatically correct and as powerful as possible. So far, I have worked with Alex for two of my college essays. Alex helped both turn out better than I expected. I will definitely be using him in the future!!!

Shara is an outstanding tutor, I couldn't have asked for a better tutor. I had her for only one session to help me with my essay to get into Law School and just that one session she gave me so much valuable feedback and helped enhance my essay. At the end of the session she even offered to help me through my final drafts; she truly cares about helping you through it all. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a tutor especially in writing.
