About Alexander

Bio

Hi, my name is Alexander, and I have been tutoring for over 6 years! In my time tutoring, I have tutored elementary through graduate-level students. I have successfully prepared students for SAT and ACT Math tests, and up to Calculus level work. In high school, I was in an accelerated math program where I was able to take AP Calculus AB in my junior year, and AP Calculus BC my senior year. After taking the AP Calculus AB & BC Exams, I scored a 5 out of 5 on both tests.

Hi, my name is Alexander, and I have been tutoring for over 6 years! In my time tutoring, I have tutored elementary through graduate-level students. I have successfully prepared students for SAT and ACT Math tests, and up to Calculus level work. In high school, I was in an accelerated math program where I was able to take AP Calculus AB in my junior year, and AP Calculus BC my senior year. After taking the AP Calculus AB & BC Exams, I scored a 5 out of 5 on both tests.

My tutoring philosophy focuses on the individual. I like to know what each of my clients enjoys doing outside of school so I can relate the math concepts they are learning to things they enjoy doing. To accomplish this, I design my lesson plans and customize them to my client’s personality. For example, if I have a student who plays basketball, I will have them solve problems that incorporate basketball concepts, such as finding a team's field goal percentage. By focusing on each person uniquely, I can fully understand why the student is not grasping certain concepts and can help them understand concepts and terms they are already familiar with. This is why all of my students have been and will continue to be successful!

I am available for online, group, and individual sessions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you soon to help you achieve academic and personal success!

C,

C

Throughout my undergraduate career, I have learned several programming languages one of which was C. C came very easy to me because I had a strong background in C++. I have now gone on to regularly implement C programming in my projects at Major League Hackathons, as well as my internship. A lot of students shy away from C because they do not think it is a "true" high level language, however my tutoring approach for C is to show students the beauty of having low level concepts in a high level language.
C++,

C++

Being a Computer Science major, I needed to take several programming languages. My first programming language was C++, which has grown into my favorite. Not only have I worked on projects in class in C++, but I have used my skills to design games on my own.
Linux,

Linux

Linux is a very unique operating system that is popular among the Computer Science community, but not the general public. At home, I have a desktop that I installed Linux onto and use regularly. I have noticed that many of the students think Linux is sub-par in comparison to Mac OS or Windows; this is why my part of my Linux tutoring approach analyzes its features. However focusing on features is not enough, which is why I focus on how the open source community developed, security, and what it means when software is "free."
Python,

Python

Python was an interesting language for me to learn. I consider it one of the first "true" high level languages I became proficient in. I have since gone on to tutor students in Python that are STEM and non-STEM majors as well as students in high school. Python is a lot easier for my students to grasp, and I often show them how to make projects using it. Showing my students how to make and implement projects to show their friends and family is the most rewarding part. Making projects allows the student to be as creative as they like and develop art through code.

Algebra 2

In high school, I took Algebra II/Trigonometry Honors which allowed me to stay on the fast track and take Calculus BC my Senior Year. Since then, I have always stayed up to date on my math skills by taking several math courses in college. Being a computer science major, I regularly review and stay up to date on my Algebra.
Calculus,

Calculus

Whether in high school or college, Calculus can be very difficult. The pacing of the class can make it seem impossible to keep up. I work with my students to show them how to relate new topics to previous ones. My students have all raised their grades, and often show signs of improvement with just one session!
SAT Math,

SAT Math

I was in middle school, when I first took the SAT Math test and scored well enough to be recognized by my district. By time I took the exam in high school, I scored within the 90th percentile. Taking the exam is more than understanding the material as it is understanding how to take the test.

When I was looking to apply for college, one of the test I made sure to take was the ACT. The ACT may not be as popular as the SAT, but allowed me to work in a new challenging way. I quickly learned how to work quicker and more efficiently to improve my score on the test. This allowed me to score in the 90th percentile on this test.

In High School I ran Track and Field in the Spring and Cross Country in the Fall. I saw my mile time go from 8:45 to 5:15 over the course of five years. I attribute my success not only to my consistent running and training schedule but also my off-time schedule.

Superman of Tutors!

I tried Wyzant out of desperation for a python class that was moving way too quickly. The first couple of tutors I worked with were knowledgeable; however, they didn’t have the patience to fully work through a problem and explain what and why. As a teacher myself, I recognize that a learner must feel safe and comfortable exploring something new, and that’s exactly what Alexander gave me. He has been incredibly helpful, sharing his thinking, explaining steps, and he is always positive, enthusiastic, and friendly. Learning a new language is hard, and Alexander makes it less scary. I’m incredibly thankful for all of his help.

Alex the Great

Alex has been a great resource in helping me understand C++. He's not just knowledgeable, he understands the concepts on an intrinsic level. I can't recommend him enough.

Iker, 13 lessons with Alexander

Knowledge and patient tutor

It is evident through his work that Alexander enjoys what he does. Within 2 days he’s covered lessons plans in a what that is easier to understand and quicker to learn.

Java

I don’t even remember off the top of my head right now but I don’t have a very high tolerance for frustration. I become agitated by certain things and not only does he know what he’s doing but he also has a way of keeping me calm. Very few people can do that when I’m agitated but he can.

Greg, 2 lessons with Alexander

Knowledgeable and Patient

Was a very resourceful and patient instructor. Helped me step by step working through the problem making sure the assignment was correct! I thank people like Alexander for all their hard work and dedication to helping students and individuals who need help with their studies, working to help them in achieving academic success.

Miguel, 1 lesson with Alexander

Very Knowledgeable

Alexander is very sharp, did a great job breaking down my Java lesson plan, well worth the session. Alexander even showed me some nifty shortcuts, and he made sure that I not only knew how to do the lesson, but explained why Java is structured the way it is.

Andrew, 1 lesson with Alexander

Amazing

Alexander is the best tutor I have ever worked with ever! He showed me not only how to think like a programmer but how to check to make sure everything is working correctly. I will defiantly work with him again.
