About Me

As a math tutor, I believe in helping students see math differently and clearly. As someone who has studied for math in competitions, school tests, standardized tests, and just for fun, I know many tricks and techniques to guide a student to deeply understand a subject. No matter the subject, I can make it so that the student can teach the material back to me! Whether it's test preparation, understanding a topic, or homework help, I prepare well ahead of time for any tutoring session, and personalize for the student. I specialize in PSAT/SAT/ACT/SAT subject test math tutoring. If you can already score decently in these sections, but want to get a perfect score on these tests, I can help you drastically increase your chances, by showing you the same powerful, reliable training methods I used myself. If you want to simply increase your score, I can help as well. Unlike all the SAT/ACT training books, I don't just rely on memorizing tricks, but also understanding why strategies work, based on the math. I tutor because I love math, and it would be my pleasure to work with you! I am also a competitive chess player, and some of my hobbies are writing, listening to scary stories, and reading.

Q&A with Alex

During tutoring sessions, I would aim not only to teach material, but to teach the student how to learn. Ways I would do this: *Outline his/her weaknesses, and give a summary of what he/she should work on. Usually I recommend drills, but I will assign and email HW problems to be done, if needed. *Hopefully make the student enjoy the material by presenting it in an intuitive manner, as opposed to memorization based.
