Best tutor ever!!

I took art history tutoring with Alyce, and she was amazing! She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made essay plans and ideas so much easier to understand and write. Her feedback really helped me improve my essays and feel more confident in my clothing analysis. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful and encouraging support! She was really patient when i expressed my immense frustrations for this class. I really really appreciate her and would recommend to everyone and anyone

To the rescue for Honors Philosophy assignment

Alyce was available immediately ( same day) to help my daughter for her Honors Philosophy class ( 2nd year in college). The assignment, a 300+ word writing reflection was due in 1.5 days. My daughter wanted to drop the class but after meeting with Alyce she felt less anxiety and more confident. She explained the dense and complex reading assignment in layman's terms. She helped her compose the reflection in less than an hour. My daughter was very content and appreciative. She will be using Alyce's tutoring services weekly. Give her a try, you will be very happy!🌹

Patient and encouraging tutor

Alyce helped my son with his urgent paper, she instructed clearly and taught him how to organize. It gave him confidence to complete the whole paper on him own which seemed very difficult to him.

Knowledgeable proofreader

Alyce was a tremendous asset to me this semester. Her ability to proofread and make suggestions to assist in the flow of my papers elevated my writing abilities. She was exceptionally versed in grammar, and especially in understanding the utilization of word placement to make a better impact on the reader. I will utilize Alyce again to assist in proofreading my APA-formatted essays. Thank you, Alyce.

Supportive and Knowledgeable Tutor

I recommend Teacher Alyce as your English teacher. I learned English pronunciation from her, and she was patient and supportive. She quickly identified the sounds I struggled with and provided an actionable plan to help me practice and improve. Teacher Alyce is also patient, and her teaching style is encouraging. I always felt motivated after her lessons.
