Highly professional English tutor

We were looking for an English tutor to help our 6th-grade daughter improve her writing skills, reading comprehension, and reading speed. Alyce has been a great fit for our goals. She incorporates two or three different activities into each one-hour class, which keeps Katherine engaged and prevents her from getting bored. They play games to build vocabulary, brainstorm ideas, and discuss essay planning and organization. My daughter has difficulty writing an essay and gets stuck sometimes with no idea how to proceed. Alyce teaches her how to get out of this situation and what techniques to apply or questions to ask herself. We are very lucky to work with Alyce, she is very experienced (it shows!) and her work ethics and standards are very high. Alyce does short summary of every class in writing and records all sessions, which helps me big time to be in a loop of what is going on in the class without investing too much of my time.

Victoria, 5 lessons with Alyce

Excellent and patient

I really enjoyed working with Alyce. She is very patient and helped me organize my thoughts. This was for my 400 word essay and as a computer science major English creative writing is not my forte. Alyce worked with me and I got it done. Thankyou!

Nirupa , 9 lessons with Alyce

Amazing tutor

Ms. Alyce was a great tutor and I would definitely recommend her. She helped me study AP art history and made some study materials for me. She explained pieces thoroughly and was super nice. She also gave me tips on how to take the test. I hope to work with her again soon.

Immensely grateful for Alyce

I cannot give enough thanks to Alyce who has helped me thrive in my advanced high school English classes, from Advanced Literature to AP English Language & Composition. These were not easy classes, and the teachers were also harsh graders, but Alyce was there to support me every step of the way. I was worried that I would not be able to survive in those classes and get good grades, but after tutoring with Alyce, I thrived and achieved A’s. Her help has been beyond valuable. Whenever I had an assignment or essay that I needed help with, Alyce was ready and quickly responsive. She helped me with all kinds of literature and writing-- poems, nonfiction, fiction, synthesis, narrative, argumentative, and rhetorical. Alyce has helped me get through struggles in analyzing deeper meanings in texts and revising essay drafts. There are endless praises I could say about Alyce like how she is incredibly patient and understanding as well as efficient and helps me create a finished product that I am satisfied with. I appreciate how she always listens thoughtfully and gives insightful input and advice. Her support has meant so much, both academically and personally, whether I felt confident about an assignment or frustrated with writing an essay or analyzing text. Alyce was truly the key to my success in these difficult classes.
