About me:
I have been teaching and tutoring for over a decade and currently hold a teaching certification in science. I am also a researcher and adjunct professor in the Education Department at the University of the District of Columbia. After three years at Spelman College, I attended the University of Michigan and graduated from the Atlanta University Center Dual Degree Engineering Program with degrees in chemistry and engineering. After graduation, I joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and was responsible for environmental restoration and construction projects. As a volunteer ACT prep instructor, I began to recognize the lack of college prep and exposure to STEM in traditional school settings. To help me pursue my passion for teaching, I was awarded a three-year teaching fellowship and a Master's degree in education from the University of Michigan. Since completing my fellowship, I have served in various leadership roles advocating for equitable access to STEM education.

GRE

GRE

With experience ranging from university bridge programs to my own classroom, I have been tutoring and teaching since 2010. My academic coaching and tutoring services help clients master the content, not just teach to a test, including the GRE. During our first tutoring session, I introduce my "Acers Method" that can be used to deconstruct test questions on any topic. This method guides test takers through underlying concepts, problem-solving strategies and potential pitfalls to avoid with each question. We will review the most commonly missed types of questions and learn how to ace those types of questions on test day. With this method, I help clients translate valuable skills into confidently pursuing their academic and career goals.

Very helpful!

Alicia and I worked on the heart of algebra in preparation for my SAT test in a few months. I feel more confident from the first lesson already. I am hoping to continue working with her and increase my chances of scoring the best I can on my test.

Wonderful confidence builder!

Patient and Insightful Tutor with Wide and in-depth Range of Academic Skills

During the summer, we asked Alicia to help seventh-grade daughter G pass a chemistry test which would determine whether she would pass onto 8th Grade or not. G did pass and her success was such that we are now using Alicia on a weekly basis on whatever subject seems weak at the time. Alicia discovered that part of the problem is in basic study skills and has worked to improve learning skills and reviews. Thanks to such analysis and work, G will enter high school with not only a sound knowledge of key subjects, but also a foundational knowledge about how to study effectively.
