Bio

Hello, I’m Aliah! As an English tutor, I believe my job is to help a student understand and communicate material both proficiently and efficiently. This is achieved by focusing not only on the grade or the assignment, but by addressing and supporting a student’s unique writing, language, and learning process as a whole, study skills included.

Hello, I’m Aliah! As an English tutor, I believe my job is to help a student understand and communicate material both proficiently and efficiently. This is achieved by focusing not only on the grade or the assignment, but by addressing and supporting a student’s unique writing, language, and learning process as a whole, study skills included. This means establishing personalized academic goals based on curriculums or syllabi, tailoring each of my structured lesson plans to them, and patiently encouraging pupils to utilize the learning strategies I provide to succeed. I aim to create a comfortable, engaging, and individualized atmosphere in each session, leading to capable, and most importantly, confident students.

I graduated from the UC system with a BA in Politics with the Highest Honors in just 3 years, edited a nationally published book, and earned a perfect score on the English/Writing portion of the SAT. I also achieved 4’s & 5’s on my AP Literature & AP Language tests. Those experiences have allowed me to support students, from those with learning disabilities to those in Honors classes, in fulfilling their academic potential.

Whether you’re in search of English homework help for your child, struggling to understand the most recently assigned reading in class, studying for the SAT/ACT’s, or needing another set of eyes to edit your most recent composition, I can help. My writing skills include persuasive, critical, biographical, research, expository, journalistic and blog styles, as well as proofreading/editing. I also work to improve compositional structure and organization, optimize research and reading efficiency, enhance vocabulary, correct grammar, and promote reading retention.

When I’m not tutoring, you can find me at the barn teaching the fundamentals of horseback riding, cooking up a new recipe in the kitchen, or hiking through the woods near my home.

I look forward to being a part of your learning journey, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions!
