Alexandra S.
Private tutor in University City, MO
Education
Ph.D. in English Literature (in progress) at Washington University in St. Louis. B.A. in English Literature from the University of Illinois. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois in 3.5 years. I also received the Bronze Tablet, which is awarded to graduates in the top three percent of their college.
Experience
I've tutored English in several public high schools and summer programs. I absolutely love the experience of working on writing and reading with a student one on one. I'm extremely interested in education. While completing my undergraduate degree in English, I also took classes in educational psychology and education policy.
