Alec
Certified Tutor
As a passionate language tutor, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment that emphasizes empathy and adaptability. With a Bachelor's in Philosophy from the University of Oklahoma and a Master's in Transnational Governance from the European University Institute, I bring a rich academic background to my teaching. I specialize in Conversational Spanish and English, offering tailored lessons that meet the diverse needs of students of all ages. My experience spans from tutoring young children to university students, where I focus on building confidence through interactive conversations and real-life materials. Having lived in Mexico, the U.S., and Italy, I understand cultural nuances that enhance language learning. I believe that making mistakes is a vital part of the learning process, and I strive to create an atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. I am excited to continue developing my teaching abilities and help students achieve their language goals.

I have a deep passion for political science and international relations, driven by a curiosity about how global systems operate. Alongside this, I am fascinated by psychology, especially the work of Carl Jung, whose ideas on the unconscious mind continue to influence me. Philosophy also plays a central role in how I think, with Nietzsche’s writings having a particularly profound impact on me. Outside of academics, I stay active by playing soccer, which helps me maintain both physical health and focus. I also love to travel, as it allows me to experience new cultures and ideas firsthand, which feeds back into my personal growth.
