Tutor Information

About

Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa, but all my friends call me Ally! I have two degrees from Queen's; my Undergrad as a Philosophy Major/ History Minor Graduate and my Masters. I am a current PhD student at the University of Calgary and have been tutoring for about three years! I want to help other students like me who went to University and did not know how to write philosophical and historical papers! I aim to help you strive for better essays and research in undergrad! I understand that first grades in university can be super discouraging. However, I am here to help you write better and amplify your writing style to a university level! I did not know what I was doing when I entered my first year. Now I know all the tips and tricks and want to share them with everyone! I am currently in Calgary Alberta , Canada (Time Zone: Mountain Standard Time), and if you think we would be a good fit, send me a quick message and set up a free consultation to get to know me better! Please give me at least 24 hour notice prior to meeting just so I can ensure I give you the best help! Courses Philosophy: Introduction to Philosophy, Fundamental Questions, Ethics, Metaphysics and Epistemology, Philosophical Logic, Philosophy of Feminism, Philosophy of the Mind, Phenomenology, Early Modern Philosophy and many more! Courses History: Introduction to History, Crusades, WWII, Myth and Religion (Greek and Roman), Issues in Canadian History, Byzantium, History of African Americans in the United States, Soviet Experiment and many more! I also edit and review papers for a charge depending on length. Always good to have a new pair of eyes on an assignment you have been mulling over!

Great first impression, very kind, and great use of time. We managed to create a game plan and schedule another meeting within the allotted 15 minutes.
