About Me

I graduated in 2014 from University Of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in Physics and a minor in Math and I plan on going to grad school for Planetary science next year. I tutored freshman physics in college and also graded students homework and test including classes such as algebra, calculus, and complex numbers. I enjoy teaching any science or math subjects to students, and I'm especially talented in Calculus, Algebra and high school physics. My tutoring style come from a desire to make sure students understand the topic from the ground up. Many people get discouraged from math because they see it as a large set of rules and equations that they have to memorize, when really it can make sense on a much simpler, fundamental level. I have experience teaching at a YMCA summer camp and have tutored my younger sister throughout the years. Some of my hobbies include piano, drums, rock climbing, computer programming, and hanging out with my two dogs. I'm super enthusiastic to teach others- I find I always learn a new way of looking at things when I teach someone, because there's so many ways to approach a subject. Looking forward to meeting you!

Q&A with Alex

Only subjects that aren't understood are uninteresting. Anything can be interesting once it is understood fully!
