SUBJECTS
Subject Tutoring Across Multiple Disciplines
When you or your child struggles in one or more areas of education, it can cause a domino effect in learning, leading to being overwhelmed, frustrated, and even lacking motivation — not limited to that subject. It also leads to not fully reaching your potential or developing the necessary life or career skills.
To assist you or your kid in becoming the best version possible, Alex offers subject tutoring in a range of areas.
Comprehensive Tutoring in English, Language Arts, Reading, and Writing
Specific areas Alex offers assistance with include:
- Vocabulary
- Grammar
- Writing mechanics
- Thesis writing
- Essay composition
- Research skills
Having strong reading comprehension sets people of all ages up with a stable base for learning any and everything they want. And writing to express yourself clearly and effectively is crucial for your education and vital throughout your life.
By building strong communication skills, you’ll be better prepared for any workplace, and this ability is even transferable to your personal life, possibly making way for new opportunities and better relationships.
For children, learning the basics in these areas creates the framework for their entire education. On the other hand, teens, young adults, and even older adults need proficiency in these subjects to continue to grow and achieve personally and professionally.
Alex offers personalized tutoring so students overcome difficulties in their English or language arts course. Or, they can receive support in non-course-specific reading and/or writing. While her aid will reflect in the student’s grades, the real difference is seen in the learner’s communication skills and ability to use their comprehension skills in all aspects of life.
All subject tutoring in this area is highly customized, ensuring you or your child receives help in only the troubling areas while capitalizing on strengths.
Understanding the world around you leads to empathy that can be used in and out of the workplace. It helps broaden your perspective and appreciate culture and diversity more.
You enhance your critical thinking skills and open yourself up to new ideas while giving yourself a deeper sense of how the past has influenced the present. The philosopher George Santayana said, “Those who fail to study the past are doomed to repeat it,” and it rings true.

Active Studying and Recall for Better Retention
Improving your mastery of a concept or an entire subject means gaining comprehensive knowledge as opposed to merely memorizing material. To do this, Alex will help you engage in the content in various ways, including:
- Self-testing
- Reciting the material back to her
- Summarizing
- Focusing on knowledge gaps
Analogies
Alex can assist you in simplifying complex information using analogies. Through comparison, you bridge the gap and associate unfamiliar material with relatable ideas or scenarios, so you better grasp the concepts and remember them more easily.
You also enhance your engagement with the material with analogies. Most people will remember a story before they recall a complicated concept completely.
Graphic Organizers
Graphic organizers allow you to gain a clearer view of the relationships involved in large chunks of information.
Not to mention, rather than feeling overloaded with details, you can break down the material into smaller, more digestible pieces. You simplify the information so you understand it more thoroughly. Not to mention, having a visualization of the material facilitates memory retention.
This study aid actively involves you with the content, so you comprehend the material more effectively.
Visual Aids
While graphic organizers are one type of visual aid used, Alex will incorporate other graphic representations into your sessions for subject tutoring and test prep.
Charts and graphs allow you to visualize and simplify difficult topics for a more thorough understanding. Images stimulate multiple parts of the brain to enhance long-term memory. And if you struggle to learn through listening and reading, these help you connect with material on your level.
