About Alex
I enjoy using mnumonic devices and imagery as well as short phrases to help students memorize difficult material. I find it helps if both the student and the tutor both interact and give 100% eff in order to learn the material, especially when it is in a subject that may not be particularly interesting to the student. Together we can learn some intersting things in the field of science!
I began tutoring while at Loyola University in Chicago. There were multiple outreach programs teaching subjects such as English, basic math, and basic sciences to the surrounding underserved communities for free. I very much enjoyed meeting a variety of people and helping them learn concepts they had never experienced before. As I continue through school to become a physician, I have continued teaching and helping students who may struggle with a particular subject.
I tutored English to the underserved community around Loyola University in Chicago while attending the school.
I am an EMT and an Emergency Room Technician with a Masters in Biomedical Sciences, currently applying to medical schools.
I have tutored many subjects including English, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and EMT/Paramedic courses.

I generally begin the first tutoring section by asking some basic questions (Have you had tutoring before? Are you more of a visual learner or auditory? and how long do you feel you are able to pay attention to your work before needing a break?)
After the first meeting I begin to tailor my tutoring methods and materials towards what the student seems to be best receptive to.
I have worked with students from 6th grad through Master level courses in Biomedical Sciences (Pharmacology, Immunology, Pathophysiology, etc)
The biggest thing for me as a tutor is for the student to be as honest as possible about their situation, not only with me, but with themselves. If you are really struggling, it may be better to have a few sessions a week, instead of one a week. Also, try and find a tutor who teaches in the style that you prefer to learn in. Some people love visuals (such as pictures, videos, or tutorials) other people prefer more audio tutoring, (such as verbal repetition or longer explanations of concepts).
I recently moved out to Arizona and I have been loving the warmth and hiking. Coming from Chicago it is cold more months out of the year than it is warm. There are also no mountains what so ever, so hiking out there is more like walking up a big hill, while Arizona offers some real hiking challenges. I am excited to get out and explore more!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I recommend thinking about how much time the student can realistically dedicate to the subject. As well as what parts of the subject or concept are particularly challenging? Does the student struggle with memorizing formulas? Choosing which formula to use and when? Or is the subject simply challenging because it does not align with the student’s interests?

Alex taught me so much about studying. From simple tips to learning to understand rather than just memorize material. He broke down concepts with me and helped me realize how I best learn and understand something.
Such a great tutor! Super patient and has so many different ways of explaining the material. His ability to simplify material and translate it into a perspective that was more understandable, made me much more confident as a student!
Alex Candel has been wonderful to work with. He understands that people learn information in different ways and he individualizes his lesson plans based on that. Highly recommend!
He was very attentive to what I needed help on. He explained things very well and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help!!
