Hi! My name is Alexandra, and I am a Princeton University Neuroscience major with 5+ years of tutoring experience. I specialize in SAT/ACT/PSAT prep and have successfully taught topics ranging from computer science and basic sciences to elementary reading and writing and college essay writing. In high school, I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT on my first attempt, a perfect 1520 on the PSAT/NMSQT, won "finalist" status in the National Merit Scholarship competition, and was a medalist in the New York Science Olympiad. As an undergraduate at the top-ranked university, I focus specifically on standardized test preparation, including the SAT, ACT, and PSAT. I have an understanding of the structure and timing of the exams and the strategic approaches that are required to achieve top scores. I have successfully supported students in improving their performance through individualized study plans because I understand that not all students can use the same approaches to succeed. My approach emphasizes effective time management and a mastery of recurring question types. Outside of college test preparation, I have tutored students ages 5 to 17 in a variety of topics. A common teaching approach I use is to introduce new concepts with example problems that we work through together. I then explain each strategy and help the student through another problem, encouraging them to explain their thinking step by step. Finally, I let the student tackle a problem independently. Once a student can articulate why a method works, they are truly ready to apply it on their own. While this method suits many students, I understand that everyone learns differently and pride myself on being adaptable within and outside of lessons.

I recently graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Communications and a minor in Business. Since 2020, I have had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages, forming meaningful connections that I deeply cherish. While I tutor a diverse array of subjects, my passions lie in Math, English, and Writing. I also love helping students with college admissions! I firmly believe that learning should be an enjoyable and enriching experience for everyone, so I strive to make each tutoring session unique and engaging.

I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together

Growing up, I was labeled by my family as "the future rich man." By narrowing my focus to myself, I was always able to achieve my goals more efficiently. This worked plenty for me, as I had just been accepted to the best high school in the state and had a high GPA. However, this turned out to be a less-than-stellar strategy when it came to fulfillment. Oftentimes, my obsessive focus on my work led to a social battery only matched by Wednesday Addams and an emptiness that I had struggled with for a long time. While achievements like Honor Roll were nice to have, they never brought any sense of purpose. However, in 11th grade, I got a life-changing opportunity: I would volunteer to help coach and take statistics for the local high school varsity girls' basketball team that my mom was coaching. Upon hearing about this opportunity, I was ecstatic since I could further fill my resume with an activity I had already enjoyed in previous years. My family had always been united by basketball: Whether it was my mom and family watching Lakers games or our traditional Thanksgiving three-on-three games, I had been studying the game for nearly my entire life. However, as time went on, volunteering became more than just an opportunity to engage with basketball. Once she began coaching, I often had the privilege of hearing her rant about the team. She would come home and immediately start pacing around the living room, trying her hardest to strategize while not losing her patience. However, these tangents also came with bits and pieces of their lives, worries, and future aspirations: many of them lived in low-income households, had issues with anxiety, and had dreams to be doctors or entrepreneurs. Every time I heard one of these stories, it not only made me feel a greater connection to them and their goals, but it made me think about what I should do to help them. Around December, I decided to set up some meetings for SAT/PSAT tutoring for the team, which would help both myselfwho needed to take it that yearand the team, who would be introduced to these topics for the first time. Throughout that meeting, the aroma of coffee and cinnamon rolls filled the local Panera, which would sometimes give us free coffee and bread. As we studied, a girl on the teamwho wanted to be an engineerasked for help on a problem with proportional triangles. I noticed the both confused and frustrated look on her faceEnglish was not her first language, so she was trying her hardest to take every word I said and translate it into her own language, while I drew diagrams of triangles on the page. This only made me more determined; I brought in every possible real-world example I had in my mind to help her understand. Finally, with a glow of satisfaction, she understood the problem and completed the next example with ease. However, this not only created a feeling of gratification for her, but also for myself, as this moment brought me fulfillment I had not felt before. Sitting in that Panera explaining Algebra 1 concepts, I realized exactly what I needed to fill the void. When I got home, I couldn't help but have a smile on my face, because I finally knew what I was doing wrong: the obsessive focus on my own achievements was withholding the sense of contentment that comes from helping others. I realized that the unfillable void could only be filled by helping others achieve instead of achieving more for myself. Whether it is tutoring while managing my school work or doing community service before performing for the school's concert band, I knew moving forward my life had to have a balance. Ultimately, being "the future rich man" will mean being truly fulfilled.

I am a graduate of Rice University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy, and a minor in Neuroscience. My previous tutoring experiences have primarily focused on college level physics, math, and chemistry; AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry; the ACT and SAT college entrance exams; general mathematics at the high school level; and middle school level math and english for state standardized testing. Additionally, I have experience working with students with learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, and ASD. As someone who loves learning, I am a firm believer in making our meetings enjoyable as well as educational. STEM subjects in particular have the reputation for being boring and complicated, but I love that as a tutor I can help students make sense of the topics and find the fun!

Education has always been a journey of discovery and resilience for me. I earned a bachelor's degree from Texas A&M and then attended UT Southwestern for medical school. I am now a resident physician with an MD and MPH working at a large county hospital. My experience as a tutor has been shaped by both my academic background and my own learning challenges. As a tutor for medical students at my school, I have found fulfillment in breaking down complex subjects like physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology in ways that make them more accessible. Having navigated my own educational path with a diagnosis of ADHD, I understand that learning is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is centered on meeting students where they are and equipping them with strategies tailored to their unique strengths. Whether through active recall, visual learning, or problem-based approaches, my goal is to help students unlock their full potential in a way that feels intuitive and sustainable for THEM.

Hi! I am a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a B.S. in Molecular Biology and a minor in Psychology. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a learning assistant for Physics 1 and 2 labs, guided fellow premedical students, and prepared for the MCAT. After graduation, I pursued a Fulbright fellowship in Norway, where I conducted neuroscience research and engaged with a diverse student community. I now work on a neurotrauma unit, further deepening my understanding of medicine and patient care. I am passionate about teaching and mentorship, whether in the classroom, as a Bollywood dance captain, or even in the middle of a Norwegian fjord! My tutoring focuses on critical thinking and the natural sciences, helping students excel in school, on the SAT, and on the MCAT.

I am a master's student at Brown University. I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. While I tutor a wide variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, math, and English with over 5 years of teaching experience. I also have a Seal of Biliteracy, meaning I am able to teach in both English and Spanish. I hope to work with you soon!

My passion for tutoring stems from my experience as a TA, where I discovered that effective teaching goes beyond just delivering content; it's about building relationships and instilling confidence in students. With over two years of tutoring experience in math and computer science, I focus on fostering an interactive learning environment where students actively engage with the material. I believe in the power of practice over passive learning, guiding students to identify their challenges and develop effective study habits. As a National Merit Scholar, I've honed my own test-taking strategies, which I enjoy sharing for SAT prep as well. I'm excited to support you on your academic journey!

I am a driven, positive, affirming tutor who is happy to help students in any way he can. I graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College in 2020, and I obtained my Master's in Political Science from the University of Toronto in 2022. In 2016, I received an SAT score of 1550. That year, I also received a 5 on my AP exams in Calculus AB, English Language, U.S. History, and U.S. Government. I am happy to tutor students in mathematics, English, and social sciences (e.g., history, government). I especially enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra. I believe in a practice-based approach in which I take students step-by-step through the concepts at hand. After practicing together with my guidance, the student will soon be able to apply what they have learned on their own.
