About Larry
A Journey Rooted in Excellence As an enthusiastic English teacher, I've spent years infusing the joy of learning into my students by fostering a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. My commitment to listening, leveraging multimedia tools, and promoting critical thinking has left an indelible mark on countless learners. From the South Side of Chicago to Academic Heights My educational roots lie in the vibrant South Side of Chicago, where I attended Englewood High School. Later, I pursued my undergraduate degree in American history at Chicago State University, followed by a graduate degree in English. My academic journey was marked by excellence. As an undergraduate, I achieved a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. During my graduate studies, I maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning accolades such as the Graduate Division Honors Award, All-American Scholar designation in 2002, and the prestigious Irwin J. Suloway Exceptional English Graduate Paper Award in 2003. Guiding with a Philosophy My teaching philosophy is clear and student-centric. I view people as partners in their educational journey, deserving of respect and empowerment. I create an environment where learning is fun, exciting, and collaborative, where everyone's unique ideas are valued. I am a patient, understanding, and encouraging tutor, focused on nurturing each individual's writing style. I employ multimedia tools to facilitate learning, covering areas such as grammar, journal writing, error correction, and essay revisions.

My teaching philosophy is that all of my students deserve my respect and have important life stories to share. I believe students need an environment that encourages them to ask questions about what they read, write, and think. I create this type of environment by making learning challenging and by respecting the ideas of my students.
My role as a tutor is to be patient, understanding, and encouraging, and to help my students recognize and develop their own writing styles.
My goal is to help students with business and academic English, grammar, essays,
reports, presentations, memos, and emails.
Recommendations

Mr. Alexander was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to assist me with retrieving credible sources in addition to writing stronger introductory paragraphs. Will definitely reach out to him in the future for guidance.
Professor Alexander is a great English tutor who makes writing scholarly college papers easy to understand. I like the fact that he made me look at reading and writing in a different and more interesting way, taking my opinions into consideration and challenging me to use the They Say I Say approach. I feel much better prepared to handle college reading and writing assignments successfully.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Alexander as a tutor. His friendly demeanor and meticulous organization skills foster a conducive learning environment. Recently, he helped me revise an APA research paper for a college course, challenging and guiding me to craft a superior paper.
I embarked on a writing journey with Larry Alexander, focusing on grammar, essay revisions, and MLA citations. The experience exceeded my expectations. Larry’s discerning eye uncovered my strengths and weaknesses, helping me to embark on a path of self-improvement. Also, his guidance in essay revisions was invaluable. Today, I approach college essays with confidence, armed with the knowledge of structuring compelling arguments backed by robust examples.
