About Alex
Let's face it: Math can be tough. So why not make it easier with a personal tutor there help explain the hard things? I have over 7 years of private and group tutoring in all math levels from middle school to high school. I have helped students with Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus, as well as test prep for the SAT. In that time period, I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of students with different backgrounds, skill levels, and learning styles.
As much as tutoring helps the student, it also helps me. My instruction incorporates the best techniques and explanations that I have found most effective over the years. I believe there are two critical ingredients needed to conquer any math issues. The first, is the quality of the tutor. Without a doubt, many people can teach you how to do a math problem, but not everyone can help explain it in such a way that you understand it and can apply the knowledge to future problems. The second important ingredient to successful learning is a positive attitude by the student. When tackling tough math problems, many students begin to feel overwhelmed by the material. I make sure to teach the material at a level the student can understand before progressing to more difficult problems. I have found that this approach allows the student to build up their confidence in the material, which directly translates into a willingness to learn and work hard.
In addition, I highly value communication during the tutoring process. This involves keeping parents updated with how lessons are progressing and what was covered and could also include reaching out to school teachers to learn more about the material being covered. This also allows both the student and parents to give me feedback if a certain style of teaching helped a lot or not as much. A big support system around the student is incredibly important to creating a productive environment. I love seeing that "aha" moment on students' faces, and I'd love to see one on yours! I encourage you to reach out if you not only want to meet your goals, but exceed them. I look forward to hearing from you.
I have over 7 years of tutoring experience in both personal and group environments. My tutoring journey started back in middle school when I started getting tutoring to get ahead in my math classes. Then, in high school, the focus shifted to SAT prep. After taking the SAT, my tutor invited me to join his company as a math tutor, teaching everything from pre-algebra to the SAT. As you can see, I am well experienced both from the perspective of the student and teacher.
Eventually I decided to branch out to my own company and have been helping satisfied private and group tutoring clients for the past three years!

The most important thing I learned from working with students over the years, and from being tutored myself, is that every student is different. That's one of the selling points you get with me: Flexibility. There is no cookie cutter approach that I can bring to everyone and "POOF" suddenly everyone is an expert. Although the student's preferences can be figured out with time, I find it best to just have a discussion.
What are you learning?
How are you learning it?
Is it working?
These questoins are usually sufficient to nail down the best technique to teaching someone. Like I said, flexibility is key. If you find something works, tell me! I'm happy to adapt my style to help you succeed!
I have worked with students from pre-algebra to pre-calc (7-12th grade). I also have experience helping students with ADD/ADHD as well.
My advice for a student would be to just as questions! Is every tutor a match for every student? Definitely not. I think the best way to find the match for you would be to have a discussion with the tutor, talk about your needs, your expectations, and your timeline and how the tutor can meet those needs. I don't believe tutoring is a one-sided process and encourage a lot of dialogue on both sides.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The most important questions for students to think through would be:
What is my goal?
What is my timeline?
What is the biggest hurdle in achieving my goal?
How can a tutor help me achieve my goal?
Above all, I think honesty is important. If there is something you're struggling with, no matter how small or seemingly simple, bring it up. That is the best way for the tutor to recognize what the next step is to help you.
