About Alec


Bio

Hi, I’m Alec — a mechanical engineer and lifelong builder with a strong foundation in math and real-world problem solving.

I specialize in Algebra 1 & 2, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry, and I focus on helping students understand why math works—not just how to memorize steps. Most students struggle because math is taught abstractly. I break concepts down in a practical way so they actually make sense.

Hi, I’m Alec — a mechanical engineer and lifelong builder with a strong foundation in math and real-world problem solving.

I specialize in Algebra 1 & 2, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry, and I focus on helping students understand why math works—not just how to memorize steps. Most students struggle because math is taught abstractly. I break concepts down in a practical way so they actually make sense.

I’ve worked with students at all levels, including those who feel completely stuck or behind. My approach is simple: slow it down, remove the confusion, and build confidence step by step. You don’t need to be “a math person” to succeed—you just need the right explanation.

Outside of tutoring, I use math daily as an engineer and product builder, designing and developing real systems. That experience translates directly into how I teach: clear, structured, and grounded in reality.

Whether your goal is to pass a class, improve your grade, or actually understand the material, I can help you get there.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I help students build a strong Algebra 1 foundation by simplifying core topics like equations, inequalities, and graphing. Many students struggle early and fall behind, so I focus on clearing confusion and building confidence step by step. As a mechanical engineer, I teach math in a clear, practical way that actually makes sense. Students I work with quickly improve and feel more in control of the material.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I specialize in helping students get unstuck in Algebra 2 by breaking down functions, quadratics, and logarithms into clear, manageable steps. Most struggles come from gaps that compound, so I focus on rebuilding the foundation so new topics actually make sense. As a mechanical engineer, I teach math in a practical, structured way—not abstract or confusing. Students I work with typically gain confidence quickly and start solving problems on their own.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I help students master pre-calculus by breaking down functions, trigonometry, and complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. This is a critical transition into higher math, and many students struggle when topics start to connect and build quickly. I focus on strengthening understanding so students are prepared for calculus—not just getting through assignments. As a mechanical engineer, I teach in a practical, structured way that makes the material actually make sense.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I help students understand trigonometry by breaking down the unit circle, identities, and functions into clear, manageable steps. Most students struggle because trig feels abstract, so I focus on making concepts visual and intuitive. As a mechanical engineer, I teach trig in a practical, structured way that actually makes sense. Students I work with quickly gain confidence and start solving problems on their own.

Very patient and knowledgeable.

Alec is great! My son loved working with him. He is very kind and patient and doesn't waste any time. Extremely organized and punctual. My son is so much more confident thanks to Alec.
