Alex

Certified Tutor

My primary experience is in education: I majored in Classics (emphasis on both Latin and Greek) and obtained two masters degrees, one in Classics and the other in philosophy. I am also a certified secondary English teacher in Florida through the online TeacherReady program. I have 5 years experience teaching ESL, entry exams (including GMAT and ACT), and humanities (history, philosophy, literature, and creative writing) at the high-school and college levels. I am also interested in writing, both academically and creatively, and languages: I am fluent in French and Mandarin Chinese and can read Latin, German, and Greek. In my ideal job I serve as a medium to help people develop their interests and ideas; at the same time, I love having the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions, brain-storming, and critical thinking. In the future, I hope to expand my skill-set to include STEM based subjects like math or computer science.
