In the demo class, I learn more about your interests and goals. In this first class, I also conduct an assessment to identify some of your strengths and areas for improvement. Based on this assessment, I will design a curriculum specific to your learning goals.
Each class will have 2-3 immersive activities that are designed to target 2-3 of your goals. For example, critical thinking+grammar or vocabulary+creative writing. After each class, you'll have a homework assignment which will allow you to practice what you have just learned in the previous class. We will take a few minutes to review your homework in the following class.

I worked with Alishya to polish a selection of poems that were eventually published by a literary magazine. Alishya's editing was generous, generative, patient, and meticulous. Out of all the editors I have ever worked with, Alishya stands out as someone who has truly helped me grow and transform my writing. Alishya took the time to really sit with each line, ask insightful questions about my intentions, and help me present my best work. This has had a lasting effect on all my writing, both poetry and prose. Working with Alishya has helped me to become a better writer overall. I have also been in writing workshops led by Alishya, who is a very skilled facilitator: excellent at guiding the conversation, directing a workshop through challenging subjects, and keeping a close track of timing and balance amongst all participants. Alishya’s patience, generosity, intelligence, and attention to detail are why I wholeheartedly recommend Alishya as an instructor, tutor, editor, and facilitator.
Alishya is a superb teacher who prepared me not only in literacy and fluency but also taught me complex concepts with ease. She brings innovative methods and pedagogy to her classroom and ensures every student is on the same page. I highly recommend taking English classes with her for whatever needs you have. She is qualified, caring, and skilled.
I took lessons with Alishya when I was working on my college applications for U.S. universities last fall. We worked on essays and my creative writing portfolio. Alishya's friendly and approachable demeanor charmed me right off the bat. She was a good listener and gave good advice. I was impressed by how prepared she was and the lessons were so well structured, I always left feeling like our time was well spent. She was willing to look at so many drafts of the same essay and gave me encouraging feedback each time. I felt very proud of what I ended up with. At the time I'm writing this review, I have gotten into at least 2 of the colleges I applied to. I'm still waiting on a few more. I really couldn't have done it without Alishya!
