I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

My name is Alexander Folkins, and I hold a Master's degree in Cardiovascular and Renal Science, along with a Bachelor's in Biochemistry from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Although my tutoring experience is relatively new, I am deeply passionate about helping students grasp complex scientific concepts, particularly in Biochemistry, Biology, and Chemistry. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging and supportive learning environments where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. I strive to connect with each student individually, tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring the latest research in the sciences, which continually fuels my enthusiasm for education and motivates me to inspire others in their academic journeys.
