I worked with Kathy Murphy as an ESL para during the 2000-2001 school year at Hampton. I planned on continuing, but my husband was transferred to France where we lived for four years. I have personal experience of how difficult learning a foreign language can be for students, as we helped our 7- and 9-year-old sons adjust to their French public school experience.
In 2015, I received my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Madonna University. Since then I've tutored over 700 hours, including 447 hours with 4.9/5 rating (168 ratings) on the Wyzant tutoring platform. During this school year I tutored 3 students from Delta Kelly.
In addition to tutoring children, I tutor adults at all levels. Many of these adults are RCS parents and desire to learn English quickly and well enough to be able to communicate with and understand their children's teachers. Besides teaching the language, I always explain the American school system, which is very different from that of their home countries. I also explain American culture and etiquette, which helps them to understand what to do in various situations, especially when these concern their children. I have been a long-time tutor of three students who attend the PLC.

Hi my name is Alexandra Stower. I found a passion for tutoring 8 years ago when I started tutoring within the Royal Oak school district as well as peer tutoring at Wayne State University, while working towards my Bachelors in Psychology. I am currently pursing an additional degree in Accounting & Finance. I am able to work with students beginning with number literacy at 3 years old, through High School Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Pre Calculus. I also utilize my background in Developmental Psychology to work with students on their learning styles, study strategies & overcoming behavioral blocks when it comes to math.
