About Me

I am working on my Bachelor's of Science in Physics at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I am highly experienced in STEM courses, ranging from core secondary-level mathematics, to University Calculus. I teach my lessons flexibly, taking my students' learning style inventories into careful consideration. I employ strong connections in my tutoring, relying largely on analogous connections to my students' strengths and interests. I have no problem drawing interest out of a student for our worked subject. It is extremely rewarding to see a student grow, and understand your role in the intellectual growth observable in a student following their working with me. If you are interested in any help with Mathematics, Physics, SAT/ACT Preparation, E.O.C. studies, or even Reading and Writing, do not hesitate to contact me. The experience gained in my sessions will greatly augment you or your student on their road to success.

Q&A with Alexander

In teaching, I am a huge proponent for a gradual release of responsibility. I follow the model of "I do, we do, you do," meaning I introduce the concept, work on a problem around the concept, and then I work with the student cooperatively on a similar problem. After I feel the student is ready to tackle the problem by their own work, I allow them to approach it, and I take note of any difficulties or barriers to the student's learning that I observe in the process. Everybody can learn. I like to do this by allowing the student to gradually take charge and dominate the material.
