About Alaina

I've gained tutoring experience after working in my high school's writing center and National English Honor Society chapter; primarily, I worked one-on-one sessions with students in roughly 30-40 minute sessions, though I have experience with tutoring multiple people at once. I have helped students earn as high as an entire letter grade higher than their normal average on; additionally, on every essay I have written since high school, I've earned nothing lower than a "B."

I'm a second-year university student pursuing a Bachelor's in English, with a concentration in Writing & Rhetoric. I am in my university's honors college, as well as a student of the English Honors program. My techniques as a tutor primarily rely on the person I am tutoring to voice their greatest concerns about their writing assignment and approaching each concern as in-detail as possible. Finally, my characteristics as a tutor involve paying great attention to detail (down to teaching students how to punctuate correctly), as well as teaching some general rules of English/general pointers about writing that may be unknown or overlooked.

Details

I. Generally, I charge $15-20 for writing assignments that fall within 4-5 pages. If your assignment exceeds 5 pages, I'd charge $5 for each page over the 5-page limit. (e.g., A 6-page paper would be $15 as the base price, +$5 for the extra page in the assignment = $20 for the overall session)
II. I prefer to work with older kids (e.g., middle school and up) due to feeling more comfortable with their material and better understanding their content, and having more experience working with that age range. Admittedly, I have little experience working with students below a middle school/intermediate reading & writing level. However, I'm not at all against tutoring elementary schoolers: the price for a tutoring session would just change to $25-30. (In this instance, I define elementary schoolers as being 6th grade and below. Middle school, for me, was grades 7-8; high school was grades 9-12.)
III. If you must cancel the session for any reason, let me know at least a day in advance. I'm a university student with a packed schedule, and late cancellations completely throw me off. If you do not let me know at least the day before our scheduled session, the cancellation fee will be $10.
