Alexia Reed
Grand Forks, ND

Former College Instructor and Current English and Writing Teacher/Tutor

I have over 4 years of experience tutoring writing and English-related subjects. I graduated from Rosemont college with a B.A. in English literature and writing and spent some time in a creative writing M.F.A. program before finishing my M.A. in English at the University of North Dakota. I have spent two years teaching freshmen composition courses and this will be my second year teaching AP English Language and Composition. In high school, I was an honors student at the top of my class and received all A's in my English classes while taking many extracurriculars. I have since gone on to explore the many fields of English beyond literature to technical writing, journalism, debate, proposal writing, genre-specific studies, and more. With the burgeoning fields of technological careers, my interests have shifted towards optimizing writing and language skills for students based on their wants, needs, and especially their bright futures. Working as a teacher both in-person and online has given me experience and skills with both. I have curated materials for teaching and tested methods with a variety of students with diverse needs and learning styles. I've worked with demographics of high-achieving students, international students, and students with disabilities as well so I recognize some of the unique challenges students face and need with extra tutoring. Ultimately, my goal is to make student's independent learners and confident in their writing skills.

Sonya Sud
Kansas City, MO

First Year in UMKC's 6-year B.A./M.D. Program

I have a deep passion for helping others express their ideas effectively, which aligns with my long-term goal of pursuing medical journalism to improve communication in medicine. Having successfully navigated the college application process—writing over 60 essays and gaining admission to over ten schools, including Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and UMKC’s competitive 6-year B.A./M.D. program, where the admissions committee told me I received the highest possible score on my personal statement—I understand firsthand what makes a compelling college essay. Beyond my own applications, I have extensive writing experience as the Editor-in-Chief of my high school newspaper, where I honed my ability to craft engaging narratives and mentor younger writers. My writing has been recognized at the highest levels, including being named one of ten Missouri All-State Journalism Team members by the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association (MIPA). I also won first place in National Student Press Association (NSPA) competitions for both a Newsmagazine Cover and a Staff Editorial, along with top honors in sports reporting and news writing. In addition to my writing expertise, I have experience tutoring students of all ages. While working at Mathnasium for a year, I tutored preschool through high school students in math, developing strong communication and teaching skills. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how to adapt my teaching style to different learners, ensuring that each student gains confidence in their abilities. As a college essay tutor, I will not only help students strengthen their writing but also guide them in crafting essays that showcase their unique voice and story—just as I did during my own application process. My background in journalism, storytelling, and one-on-one tutoring makes me well-equipped to help students stand out in the admissions process.
