About Alan
Alan is an experienced English teacher with 10+ years in education at a private, Catholic school. I have a strong background in helping students grow as confident, capable writers. I have spent years working with high school students in the classroom, guiding them through everything from literary analysis and research papers to college application essays.
I understand that writing can feel overwhelming for many students. My strength lies in breaking complex assignments into clear, manageable steps while creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and taking risks. I believe every student can improve with the right structure, guidance, and encouragement.
With a calm and patient approach, I focus not only on improving grades but also on building lasting skills. My goal is to help students become independent thinkers and writers who can approach any assignment with confidence.
I will strive to always uphold professionalism, consistency, and ability to connect with learners at different levels. Whether a student needs help getting started, organizing ideas, or refining their writing, Alan provides clear direction and meaningful support every step of the way.

As a tutor, I will focus on building confident, independent thinkers—not just completing assignments. My approach is rooted in clear structure, encouragement, and practical strategies that students can use across all of their classes.
I will teach writing as a process. Together, we will break down complex assignments into manageable steps—brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and revising—so you are never overwhelmed.
Clear thesis development
Strong paragraph structure
Evidence-based analysis
Editing and revision skills
Rather than simply correcting mistakes, Alan explains why something works (or doesn’t), so students grow in understanding and confidence over time.
Each session is focused and personalized:
Check-in & Goal Setting –
What is the student working on? Where are they stuck?
Skill Focus – Target one key area (thesis, organization, analysis, etc.)
Guided Practice – Work through writing together with real-time feedback
Independent Application – Student applies the strategy with support
Wrap-Up & Next Steps – Clear plan for continued improvement
Students leave each session knowing exactly what to do next.
Professional classroom experience – not just tutoring, but real teaching
Focus on long-term growth, not quick fixes
Calm, structured approach that reduces student stress
Ability to simplify complex ideas into clear, usable strategies
I understand both what teachers expect and how students learn best—and he bridges that gap effectively.
I work primarily with:
High school students (Grades 9–12)
Essay writing
Literary analysis
Research papers
ACT/SAT English
College application essays
