Elementary/Middle/High School STEM Tutor, Cornell Engineering

Alex L.

Hi! I’m Alex, and my goal as a young tutor is to patiently and effectively support other students' academics. I want to become the help I wish I had recieved throughout my primary schooling.

I've learned to work through common challenges student face as I took 14 AP exams, earning a score of 5 on all of them, and also self-studied the SAT, earning a 1570 on my first attempt. I was even deemed a National Merit Scholarship Finalist (top 1% in California) and will be studying Engineering at Cornell University (#1 Ivy Leauge for Engineering) because I've learned how to study. Now, I hope to pass on both my expertise in various subjects, and my study strategies for long term success to my students!

As a tutor, I focus not only on helping students complete their homework or prepare for tests, but also on teaching them how to study and think through problems independently. I approach every student with patience, encouragement, and friendliness because I know how oeverwhelming school can feel.

I specialize in helping elementary, middle, and early high school students with science and math, including biology, environmental science, physics, algebra, and calculus foundations. I particularly enjoy working with younger students because I believe science should feel exciting and approachable—not intimidating. My goal is to explain concepts in simple, clear ways and help students develop curiosity about how the world works.

Through leadership roles in clubs and as a team captain, I’ve gained extensive experience mentoring students from many different grade levels and learning styles. Whether a student needs help understanding a difficult concept, building confidence, or developing better study habits, I’m committed to supporting them every step of the way.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to help your student grow and succeed!
