Political Science/American Government/Public Policy; 2. Writing; 3. Political Theory/History of Western Philosophy; 4. US and European History; 5. American and European Literature; 6.

My name is Alexandra. I am a former college professor and formally trained writing tutor. I have over a decade of experience teaching or tutoring: 1. Political Science/American Government/Public Policy; 2. Writing; 3. Political Theory/History of Western Philosophy; 4. US and European History; 5. American and European Literature; 6. Greek and Roman History (incl. mythology); 7. European Art History.

I have experience tutoring international students and graduate students. When it comes to high school students, my teaching skill set makes me a good choice for AP/IB students who are at least in their sophomore year. My high school students have received top marks in AP Government, US History, European History, English Language, and English Literature.

I have always received strong teaching evaluations. After one of my teaching reviews, a senior professor said he had never seen a teacher receive as much universal praise from students and fellow professors. My former students inducted me as an honorary faculty member of a campus leadership group in recognition of my exceptional teaching and mentoring.

I am flexible, humorous, and approachable. I don't care how behind you are, how much you are struggling, or how unprepared you might feel. If you are willing to work with me, I WILL be able to help you. I am extremely patient with students who are trying, but still struggling with the material. I also know how to push elite students--my former students have been admitted to the country's best law schools and have won some of the most prestigious postgraduate awards in the world.

Some of the most common things I help students with are literature reviews, reading strategies, research skills, paper organization, and textual analysis.

Literature,

Literature

I taught literature texts in various types of politics, history, and Humanities classes for over a decade.
Writing

Writing

I was formally trained as a writing tutor in graduate school and, as a professor, taught undergraduates how to write proper papers. I have successfully worked with remedial students, advanced high school and undergraduate students, and graduate students. Over the course of 1-3 months, I can turn struggling students into independent writers who are able to identify and correct their most common patterns of error. I can help advanced students or graduate students with thesis construction, literature reviews, organizing a large paper, conducting proper research, and more.

History

American History,

American History

I taught multiple upper-level college seminars in American political and legal history. I have taught topics across the entire chronological scope of US History, including things like the politics of the American Founders and the rhetorical strategies of interest groups in the Civil Rights Movement. In my Ph.D. program, I was given specialized training in the methodology of history and am prepared to help students develop the document analysis skills required to succeed in college courses and advanced high school courses like AP US History.

Classics,

Classics

I am not a Classics language expert, but I have taught Plato and Aristotle; an entire course on Roman political thought (including reviews of history and literature); and wrote a chapter on Classical Rhetoric for my dissertation. I have also taught the great classical authors and classical mythology as part of Great Books survey courses.
European History,

European History

For my Ph.D. I studied the history of European political theory. This required me to learn general European history, European literary and art history, and history of European philosophy. My own research on the history of European architecture drew significantly on history/historiography scholarship, and I taught multiple seminars that were cross-listed as European History classes.
Government & Politics,

Government & Politics

I have a Ph.D. in Political Science and have taught Introduction to American Politics and Government multiple times. My background makes me a great choice for students who need help with the new AP Government exam, which now has greater emphasis on quantitative reasoning and primary sources. I am conversant in Congress, Presidency, Supreme Court decisions, political parties, public opinion, political psychology, interest groups and lobbying, and public policy, among other subfields.
Political Science

Political Science

My Ph.D. is in Political Science with a first field in Political Theory and a second field in American Politics. I have published in a leading book review journal and given many conference papers and invited talks in the field. I have taught the subject for 10 years as a graduate instructor and professor.

Great help!

My son had hard time to link all the pieces together. Alexandra quickly knew where my son’s weak points and create a chart with all the necessary information. My son felt a lot better after the class! Really nice! Thanks!

Alexandra is an excellent tutor for APUSH

Alexandra quickly found my daughter's problem on APUSH and help her improve. Her teaching skill is really helpful and my daughter's understanding has been improved.

My experience with Alexandra

Alexandra has been tutoring my daughter with her college-level American history course. Since starting to work with Alexandra, I have noted a great impact on my daughter's academic growth and I expect greater things to come yet! So far, anytime I let my daughter know that I have scheduled a new lesson with Alexandra, her reaction invariably (and somewhat surprisingly to me) is a resounding and enthusiastic: Yaaayyyyyy!!!

Mehran, 16 lessons with Alexandra

excellent tutor

Alexandra was able to assist me with organizing my Capstone manuscript and encouraged me that I could complete it. She was very professional and I would recommend her to others.

Jennifer , 3 lessons with Alexandra

Very nice and helpful

Alexandra is a very professional editor and her comments were really helpful. She was proofreading two of my papers and did it really fast. I definitely recommend Alexandra to everyone.

Great Session!!!

Alexandra was super helpful! My niece received a poor grade in a history writing assignment. We looked through all the tutors on Wyzant, and soon Alexandra with the strongest qualifications. And to our pleasure, she did deliver results! She quickly identified what my niece needed and lacking in the writing, and she gave detailed guidance accordingly. I highly recommend Alexandra!!!

Knowledgeable AP Gov tutor

My daughter had a great first session with Alexandra. She was covered a lot of material, explained things well and was very thorough. We will definitely work with her again.

AP US Government

She is very methodical and helpful to my son who needs some guidance in tests preparation and subject material in general. I would highly recommend her for other students.

Ravi, 12 lessons with Alexandra

the BEST tutor! I got a 5 on the AP GOV exam!

Alexandra has been so helpful, flexible, and knowledgeable. I came to her totally clueless, but she has helped me with everything from AP US Government to AP US History. Through her tutoring sessions, I was able to achieve a 5 on the AP exam. She has probably been one of the best tutors I have, I would totally recommend working with her!

Experienced tutor that delivers excellent results

Alexandra has tutored my son for AP US Gov. for 15 lessons. My son's grade went straight up and eventually got a 5 in AP US Gov test. Alexandra is exceptionally knowledgeable on the subject. She prepared the lessons before it started, During the lesson she demonstrated good sample writings and also demands good writing and understanding from my son. Then she left homework assignment for my son to work on. The homework was handed in before the next lesson in which she would provide critique on. Alexandra is consistent and countable. We are grateful for her help and would highly recommend her tutoring service.
