Just received acceptance letters from Harvard, Columbia, and NYU after working with Alyssa for months. I’ve always found the writing lessons and brainstorming sessions with her incredibly helpful, and it clearly paid off. Alyssa is very resourceful and patient. There were times when I struggled with particular arguments or lines of thought, but Alyssa was very supportive and made me feel comfortable taking the time to reconstruct my thoughts, which has allowed me to improve my critical thinking skills during our time working together. I can't thank her enough and strongly recommend working with her.

Definitely she is the best English teacher I have ever met. She is so professional in terms of not only teaching English but also training her students to speak English fluently and confidently. I strongly recommend you to take her lesson. /Alyssaは私自身がこれまで出会ったなかでは突出してすばらしい先生です。英語を教えるのはもちろんのことながら、彼女が他の先生と一番異なるポイントは、自信を持って英語を話すことができるように導いてくれます。ぜひ一度彼女のレッスンを受けてみてください。

Probably the best English tutor I’ve ever met.
I counted on Alyssa’s support through my MBA journey, and her professional guidance in writing helped me achieve better results in single assignments and beyond. Specifically, the structure Alyssa provides helps structure your thoughts in other contexts, such as in professional writings.
I appreciated every second of our lessons. Truly recommended.

Alyssa is an amazing teacher- for every aspect that is required for US residency, from building on CV, interview prep, she is the whole gem.

I booked an interview lesson with Alyssa. She gave me very helpful feedback and pointed out several things I wasn’t aware of. I’ve already scheduled another lesson with her.
