About Me

I also hold a B.A. and M.A. in English. While pursuing my own passion for education, I have found a secondary passion in helping students find their voice in their writing. I love working one-on-one with students to help them develop their own interests and skills while achieving their personal education goals. I have had success tutoring students on a variety of reading and writing assignments, particularly for their English classes and in preparation for standardized tests. In addition to my work in literature, I enjoy traveling to new places, watching action and adventure movies, and cooking meals for family and friends.

Q&A with Alyssa

When I teach, my main goal is always to help the student take ownership of their education and tailor my lessons to the student's own interests and strengths as much as possible. I certainly want to share my own experience and knowledge with students, but what is most important is the the student's voice and opinions. This requires teaching methods that are conversational and interactive.
