I recently finished my PhD in history from Brandeis University. I have been working as a lecturer/instructor of freshman writing seminars as well as college courses in the humanities (primarily U.S. history) for a decade now.

I love to help high school students succeed in their English and history classes, and to help college students improve their research paper and essay writing assignments. As an educator, I know exactly what teachers and professors look for when grading student work.

I have been tutoring students privately for the past fifteen years, and have extensive experience teaching Advanced Placement exam prep for English Language, Literature, and U.S. History. Language arts and social sciences are my areas of expertise, including vocabulary and reading comprehension skills.

I also enjoy helping students who are applying to graduate and professional programs with their application essays.

If you need exam prep or assistance on a specific assignment, from outlining to editing, please be in touch! I can proof, edit and revise documents via email or we can do online lessons.

Great Experience

Sasha was organized and on top of it. she was very knowledgeable. She wanted to know exactly what we needed and came very prepared. She was nice and listened to our questions. she worked with our schedule and gave advice on how to self study better.she even was willing to buy some of the books needed so she could prepare lessons in advance. Thanks Sascha and I recommend her to everyone needing help with history.

Received proofreading and editing help. It was very helpful and we appreciated her edits and corrections for improvements. We contacted at the last minute and she was readily willing to help my daughter shorten her paper.
