I am a PhD graduate from Northwestern University available to help students improve their reading and writing skills. For several years, I have been a university instructor, where I am invested in helping all students reach their potentials as critical thinkers. In the classroom and through my assignments, I help students distill key ideas from challenging readings, understand the structure and organization of college-level written work, and express themselves clearly and persuasively through their own writing.

I am particularly eager to work with students who are in college or graduate school. I can provide guidance to help students improve their editing and proofreading skills. (I take academic integrity very seriously and will *not* ghost-write papers: the ideas in your papers will be your own and I will work with you to ensure that those ideas come through clearly.)

My bachelor's degree is from Cornell, where I graduated summa cum laude. I often tell my students that reading and writing skills require practice: they improve over time. I invite you to bring your written materials to me so that we can work through them together.

Please contact me for more information. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have years of experience teaching history and media studies courses at a university level.

Outstanding feedback and support for improving writing skills

Alex is extremely knowledgeable with grammar, sentence structure, and proper citations. He took the time to go through my writing in order to provide constructive feedback for revising and editing. He explains why the revision is necessary so that you can improve your writing. A guaranteed productive tutoring session. I highly recommend him for writing support, especially at the graduate level.
