I am dedicated to using my master's degree in English from Georgetown University to help you with your writing, communication, and creative and artistic work. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in English and Art from Georgetown in 2022 and my master's in 2023 via an AB/MA program. I also serve as a freelance writer in Washington, DC, writing reviews and criticism for Washington City Paper and DC Theater Arts.

I also worked as an interviewer for the Georgetown University Alumni Admissions Program, where I have interviewed incoming prospective undergraduates for the Georgetown University Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

My wide variety of writing experience will help you create pieces across genres and styles, including personal statement writing, creative writing, persuasive writing, and more.

Over the past few years, I have helped students gain admission to top schools and leading medical and dental programs.

I worked as a tutor for a year and a half for Georgetown University's Center for Social Justice in the DC Reads program, focusing on language arts, writing, and reading comprehension.

As an illustrator, I have worked as a freelancer for 8+ years. I previously served as the political cartoonist for the Lincoln Project and the John Kerry and John Kasich-founded climate platform World War Zero. Throughout my tutoring career, I have taught illustration, cartooning, painting, digital art (Procreate, Photoshop), and more to students of all ages both in-person and virtually.

I have had artwork published by BBC News, BBC Books, Puffin Books, the Georgetown University Institute of Politics and Public Service, the National Wildlife Federation, and Penguin Random House UK.

Tutor Review

Alexandra was incredible in helping me craft my dental school application. Her guidance, rooted in her impressive background from Georgetown University, was invaluable. She has a unique talent for storytelling, which made my personal statement shine. With her help, I got into my top choice for dental school. She's an amazing mentor and an asset to anyone looking to improve their writing.

amazing editor

Absolutely amazing and thoughtful edits. Helped out so much with my application process and my essays as a whole. I’m so thankful for the insight she provided that my school teachers/school counselors didn’t even tell me about.

Capabilities (and limitations) of the graphic art form. First session accomplished introductions and set up plan and format for project. I found out that the sessions run strictly on time and one needs to plan for this.

Fantastic art tutor

Alexandra has been a wonderful addition to our son's education and he has learned a ton about drawing since he has started. She makes each lesson fun and allows him to choose what they will work on that week while giving suggestions on what to work on between lessons. Our son is engaged the whole time and looks forward to his lessons. In addition, she also helps us as the parents by giving examples of recommended art supplies or supplemental learning material based on our son's level of interest. Alexandra truly cares about her student and has good conversations while teaching. She has been extremely easy to work with and quick with responses. Her flexible schedule has made it convenient for us to coordinate lessons even while moving. We highly recommend Alexandra for any families looking to introduce drawing education to their children.

Joe, 37 lessons with Alexandra

Very helpful interview prep for schools

My son is applying for boarding schools and sometimes struggles a bit to express his interests and passions verbally. He spent an hour with Alexandra and completely nailed the interview he had the next day. Alexandra helped him organize his speaking points and gave him practical advice about how to bridge them into the conversation. She was a very encouraging and patient teacher.
