Hired on Thumbtack

I looked on Thumbtack for someone to edit my academic paper, without expecting much. However, Alen did great work beyond my expectations. She read and edited every line of my paper, despite the fact that I am not a native English speaker. Alen not only corrected my grammar errors, but also changed the structure of some paragraphs to make my meaning more clear. Alen is also extremely efficient. I don't know how much time it took her to edit my paper, but she returned my corrected edition in less than a week. I really enjoyed working with Alen and look forward to doing so again in the future!

Hired on Thumbtack

I met with Alen three times for a literature review and two research papers. She was amazing in keeping me calm and focused and gave me confidence where I didn't think I had any. She gave me constructive advice and she explained processes better than my own professors. Thank you Alen.

Alen was a teacher at our school for several years. Our students were consistently very satisfied with Alen's lesson plans and delivery. We happily refer our students to Alen if they are looking for professional tutoring services. Alen has an outstanding grasp of all aspects of English instruction from grammar to writing to test preparation.

Hired on Thumbtack

Alen is a skilled writing coach and teacher. I hired Alen to help with basic grammar and punctuation skills. She is supportive and creative, indulging my need to relearn how to diagram sentences. She is professional in manner but is easy going. She adapts her coaching and tutoring skills to fit my needs, and uses a variety of exercises that have improved my writing. With Alen’s help, I am inspired to learn and grow as a writer. I highly recommend Alen as a tutor.
