Gave me helpful criticism
Alisa is an amazing tutor! She read through my college essay draft and gave me amazing criticism on what was good and should be kept in the essay and what should be changed. After my first call with her I felt way more confident in my ability to complete writing my college essay. I would 100% recommend her to my friends.

Great frameworks and strategies to tackle challenging writing assignments
We are so thankful for Alisa's help with my 15-year old who had a very challenging writing assignment. My son was having difficulty even getting started with the research and writing. Alisa helped him create structure and made the assignment much more digestable so that it wasn't so overwhelming. She gave constructive feedback and direction for the subsequent meetings. She also did not waste time. If my son was not prepared, she ended the lesson early and asked him to follow up when he was ready. I would HIGHLY recommend Alisa to any student wanting extra guidance with a writing assignment.

Knowledgeable and Amazing Tutor
I have worked with writing tutors provided by universities in the past, but the service Alisa provided was above and beyond. I'm so happy I found Alisa on Wyzant because she helped me soo much with my project. She was accommodating before and after the live session. My project was much stronger and more focused after working with her. She gave excellent tips that I will be using for future assignments. Also, she was kind, friendly, and absolutely willing to help. I look forward to working with Alisa on future projects because I had a very great experience.
