Hello! I'm Alex. I am a graduate of Hunter College, with a Bachelor of Arts in English for Adolescent Education, and a Focus Study in Film Studies. For over the past five years, I have served as a high school teaching assistant, specializing in film-related subjects, after school tutoring, and proofreading essays, short stories, screenplays, and 12th-grade personal statements for students doing college applications.

I believe that the best results for tutoring come from patience and organization of your work. It is essential to review your work from a more relaxed standpoint, and going over one issue at a time, to gain a better understanding of each topic. By doing that, we can discover where the most focus must be put in, and we can work together to find an individualized and unique solution that will work best for you (or your child).

I have vast experience in essay writing, creative writing (short stories and poem-writing), as well as grammar and proofreading. Whether it's a personal college statement, expository writing, creating a story, or assistance in word usage and sentence structure, we can work on a plan together for you to have better long term outcomes in excelling in these skills.

In addition to English, I have a background in film production and film studies. I have worked with high school students extensively, assisting them in a wide variety of different film fields ranging from working a camera to editing their films, writing a screenplay, and even designing and decorating a set with props, as well as lighting techniques.

No matter what your struggles may be, I believe that any and every student can indeed achieve with the right amount of work and will. Taking into account that each student has a unique personality and style, I am looking forward to assisting you and finding you the best solutions that will set you in the right direction for college, adulthood, or even to simply learn a new skill. Feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or concerns, and to set up a tut
