Thank you for your interest in my tutoring services! I have been tutoring since my senior year of high school, when I worked at a Mathnasium Learning Center in my hometown. I have since tutored online while earning my Bachelor's and Master's in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I am passionate about helping students who have ADHD, learning disabilities, health difficulties, or other circumstances that require extra patience and understanding.

I teach all levels of K-12 math. I also am an expert ACT tutor. I have spent hundreds of hours developing clear, effective approaches to tackling the ACT that universally improve my students' scores. Whether you have a week or a year to prepare, I would love to be a part of your ACT prep journey.

If you are a high school student in need of low cost tutoring, please don't hesitate to reach out. While I may not be able to accommodate all requests for reduced rates, I want to find a way to help.

She helped me improve 100 Points on the SAT

I just got my SAT score back and I got a 1420! I usually score around the 1320-1350 range and with a few sessions with Alexandra, I boosted up to a 1420! We mainly focused on writing and I got ONLY 4 writing questions wrong on the SAT! I definitely improved my writing with your help. Thank you so much!
