I'm Alexander; I graduated cum laude from California State University, Stanislaus with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science, then graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with a Master's in Computer Science, then earned both a California multiple-subject teaching credential with a computer science supplemental authorization, and a California single-subject teaching credential in mathematics. I have a lot of passion for math and CS and love to share it with my students!

I have two years of experience teaching in various grade schools, and was a graduate TA in computer science for 18 months before that. However, I've found that my greatest joy and greatest strength are in one-on-one and small-group tutoring, and I decided to quit the classroom to focus on that! I have 10 years of experience tutoring math at various levels, from middle school algebra and high school calculus to undergraduate-level statistics and graduate-level discrete math. I have also tutored in various areas of CS, from fundamentals of programming and computer science thinking patterns to specific programming languages and advanced type theory.

My tutoring approach is closely tailored to each individual student, and always begins by collaborating with them to find out what their needs are, both for the topics they're wanting to improve in and for the way they best learn. After that, in each lesson, I lead the student through an exploration of the lesson's topic, clarifying their understanding by playing with many examples and exploring how they're all connected. Then, I give students more examples as exercises, challenging them to apply their understanding independently while remaining available for any specific assistance they may need. At the end of the lesson, I encourage students to find and explore examples of the topic as it comes up in their personal interests and daily lives.

Please contact me for any additional questions, or to schedule a lesson; I am always happy to respond, and welcome suggesti

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I've earned a California Single-Subject Credential in Mathematics, and have taught high school Algebra classes as well as tutored individual students in Algebra 1.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I've earned a California Single-Subject Credential in Mathematics, and have taught high school Algebra classes as well as tutored individual students in Algebra 2.
Calculus

Calculus

I've earned a California Single-Subject Credential in Mathematics, and have taught high school math classes as well as tutored individual students in calculus at high school and college levels.
Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I have earned a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from California State University, Stanislaus, and a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Before, during, and after that time I have contributed to multiple high-profile programming projects, such as the languages Rust and Ceylon, widely-used libraries in Rust, Swift, and Scala, and teaching material for Haskell. I also maintain a variety of personal projects and have in the past helped maintain professional projects, in a broad selection of programming languages and for a broad variety of purposes.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from California State University, Stanislaus, and a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. During my graduate education I also taught undergraduate computer science classes (particularly in programming languages and compilers). After graduating, I earned a California teaching credential which includes a supplemental subject authorization in Computer Science. I have also participated in numerous computer programming projects, including the Rust and Ceylon languages, widely-used libraries for Swift and Scala, and teaching material for Haskell.
Data Structures

Data Structures

I have earned a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science from California State University, Stanislaus, and a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, which included a thorough grounding in data structures and algorithms. Additionally, I have taught high-school level computer science and been a teaching assistant for college level computer science, including data structures topics.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I've earned a California Multiple-Subject Credential, and have taught whole classes and small student groups in elementary-level math.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I've earned a California Multiple-Subject Credential, and have taught whole classes and small student groups in elementary-level science (including physical sciences, earth sciences, biology, and health).
Geometry

Geometry

I've earned a California Single-Subject Credential in Mathematics, and have taught high school math classes as well as tutored individual students in geometry at middle school and high school levels.
Logic

Logic

I earned a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, during which my research focus involved the application of type theory to new problem domains; type theory is a branch of formal logic descended from natural deduction and constructive foundations. I generally have extensive experience formalizing mathematical constructions in pure logic, and I have tutored students in symbolic logic, syllogistic logic, and more exotic logics (such as intuitionistic, linear, and paraconsistent logics, or higher-order predicate logics with and without sorts).
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I've earned a California Single-Subject Credential in Mathematics and a California Multiple-Subject Credential, and have taught high school math classes as well as tutored individual students in math at middle school and high school levels.
