Alan: San Marcos tutor

Certified Tutor

Throughout my 30 years of tutoring, I have cultivated a passion for enhancing students' educational experiences through personalized support in subjects like mathematics and English. With a Master's degree in Developmental Psychology from San Francisco State University and ongoing studies in Mathematics, I specialize in preparing students for the SAT and ACT. My approach is student-centered; I believe in tailoring lessons to meet individual needs, building rapport, and addressing unique challenges. I focus on fostering a supportive environment where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities, which helps alleviate test anxiety and boosts confidence. Over the years, I have successfully guided hundreds of students, igniting their interest in math and writing while equipping them with essential skills. My goal is to inspire each student to realize their potential and find joy in learning, making the journey as rewarding as the destination.
