I'm a friendly, American teacher with a Master's in Education from Harvard University. I offer: 1) Speaking lessons for teenagers and adults (英语口语提升课程), 2) Interview coaching for MA, MBA, and PhD university admissions and medical residency interviews, including face-to-face interviews and KIRA assessments, and 3) Writing & Editing lessons for SOPs, personal statements, and academic writing samples. I enjoy teaching motivated, hardworking students.
Me as a Teacher
I teach 3 kinds of lessons - speaking skills, interview preparation, and writing lessons for university applications. I've been an English instructor for over 15 years, and I've taught students from China, Thailand, Japan, Korea, and more. I have a Master's degree in Education from Harvard University, and I also have a Cambridge CELTA certificate (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).
Please note: I do not teach children under 15.
My lessons & teaching style
Speaking Skills: Focusing 100% on speaking and listening skills, these conversation lessons teach students to speak with confidence and fluency in preparation for travel, study abroad, work, or the IELTS exam.
Writing & Editing: My writing lessons help students create strong application essays, SOPs, personal statements, and academic writing samples for Masters, PhD, and MBA applications. I also do offline editing and proofreading.
Interview Coaching: I help students prepare for MA, PhD, MBA, and Medical Residency interviews. These lessons help students build confidence and English fluency. I prepare students for face-to-face interviews as well as KIRA assessments.

Teacher’s pick
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.

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.

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。
