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

Hello! I am Alex. I was born and raised in New Jersey. I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Education at the University of Miami in December 2014. I am currently earning my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Maryland Baltimore. I have tutored students since I was 16, specifically students with autism during my undergraduate career. I was a Primary school English teacher for two years in South Africa when I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I enjoy tutoring math, English, and psychology. When I tutor, I like to create specialized lesson plans for my students in order to maximize their time and learning experience.
I love to travel, run, read, cook, and spend time with friends and family. I'm an outgoing individual that loves to laugh so my sessions will never be too serious! I try to make learning fun for the student and I. So hire me and let's learn, ace your classes, and have fun!
