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

Hi, my name is Alexandra. I am in my 8th year full time teaching Social Studies (U.S. History, Economics, and Law and Modern Politics) to 11th and 12th grade students. I have my Master's degree in Adolescent Education and full certification in Adolescent Social Studies Education with a Middle School extension so I am qualified to teach grades 5-12. Typically over the summers, I also teach at the Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire where I am the dorm head of high school students and teach high school students in Criminal Justice and Global Justice. In both environments, I use a student centered model of discussion and activities to engage students with material and encourage them to take onus of their own learning. This buy in allows students to achieve great success and also take pride in their own efforts.

Throughout my time in the classroom, I have quickly learned how to work with a variety of students of various age groups from middle to high school and even entering college. This includes tutoring before and after school for state exams and large tests, but also working on college application essays and supplements, not to mention weekly individual sessions with students who are struggling. Individual attention is the best because session can easily be tailored to the student's needs.

Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions! I am always open to new students and hearing how I might be able to improve your learning experience in a variety of subjects.
