English Grammar and Language Tutor

The English Grammar and Language Tutor is available to work with Harvard College undergraduate students only.

Meet the English Grammar and Language Tutor!

Hi everyone!

I’m Alex. I'm looking forward to getting to know you in my capacity as the English Grammar and Language tutor for undergraduates. I’m interested in language, grammar, and syntax across languages and I am available to help anyone, whether English is your first language or not. 

 

I love to guide students through the process of finding out how they can write at their best and get things across in the most succinct, salient way possible.

 

Writing is not easy. However, it can be rewarding to take the time to make progress on your writing, to share your ideas cogently with others, and to take that skill forward with you for the rest of your life, applying it in all of your endeavors.

Can’t wait to work with you,

Alex

What happens in an EGL session?

The EGL tutor's goal is to help make you a better writer, someone who is more confident about writing and reading in English. The tutor will not simply correct all your mistakes and return to you a perfectly proofread paper. Instead, you will discuss and analyze your writing assignments with the tutor, identifying your mistakes, clarifying them, and figuring out ways you can avoid them. 

 By Appointment

I offer regular weekly hours, which you can find in the https:/wcscheduler.fas.harvard.edu.

For fall 2023, these hours will generally be Mondays from 10am-12pm and Thursdays from 1pm-3pm. Location information is available in the scheduler.

If you are unable to make these times, don’t worry!  I will set up an alternate time with you by email. To make an appointment, please email egltutor@fas.harvard.edu.
