About Alex
Academic grades and true understanding are not the same thing. Throughout my years as a student I met many students who understood course material but could not pass a test. I also met many students so focused on a test that they forgot what it means to really learn. When tutoring, I focus on teacing to understanding through a student's curriculum. We tackle concepts to gain understanding first, and then look at the kinds of questions a teacher might ask to test that knowledge. Ideally my students will gain confidence, grades, and opportunity.
I studied biochemistry at CSU, earning a 3.75 overall GPA and 99% on my final undergraduate thesis. I took lessions from tutors in high school myself, specifically designed around test taking skills for the ACT. This experience helped me excel academically in college and I look forward to passing it on.
Science has a unique ability to uncover fundamental truths and is an increasingly important subject for all people to become literate in. It can be endlessly fascinating or strenuous and frustrating. In my experience, sometimes the difference comes down to how it was explained. What is this important? Why do we care? Let's not loose sight of these questions as we dig into the details.
I like being able to get excited and explain things.

It's pretty simple. I'd just like to meet briefly. We can talk quickly about life, why the new student is reaching out, and generate some ideas about what the next best thing to do is. I like to see some class materials for an understanding about course level and how I can supplement or prepare for practice.
Sometimes classes can be intimidating, but as long as we slow down and break it down, you can do it!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Teachers are here to help students. It's what makes us tick. So don't be shy, if you have specific questions, ask! I remember feeling shy about asking questions, but students who ask are the ones who really end up understanding.
