Hello!

My name is Alex, and after retiring early from executive engineering management I now thoroughly enjoy tutoring math, science, and English at all levels. In addition to private tutoring, I have worked part time at various teaching centers in MI and most recently at Tampa Bay International School in FL. I specialize in teaching learning and time management strategies for general studying and for optimizing ACT, SAT, GRE, TOEFL, and other tests. I also provide assistance with resume writing, editing of professional texts/essays, dissertation writing, technical reviews, etc.

My background is in theoretical physics and applied engineering, where I hold Master's, Civil Engineering, and Doctorate degrees, and I am well-published in areas of condensed matter materials science and surface/interface engineering.

I was born and raised in Sweden and have lived in the US half my life now, am multi-lingual, and have traveled the world extensively experiencing many different cultures and languages. I am an Air Force veteran and enjoy playing soccer, tennis, volleyball, and reading.

I hope to hear from you and help you achieve your individual goals. A little help can go a long way, and there are no obstacles too large to overcome working together as a team!

I am an accomplished tutor in all areas of high school math, English, science, etc., and specialize in ACT and SAT college exam preparation tests. I can do Algebra I in my sleep.
Business

Business

I have spent about 15 years as a business professional, managing up to a hundred engineers for a number of years. I have worked with strategic planning, technology roadmaps, budgeting, talent management, and worked across the board with supply chain, legal affairs, human resources, sales, etc. I have published about 40 original research papers and made oral presentations at conferences about a hundred times, almost half of those as an invited or even keynote speaker. My resume contains the salient details.
Physics

Physics

I have a dual MSc in Civil Engineering and Engineering Physics, and a Doctorate in Theoretical Physics. I have published over 40 physics papers in peer-reviewed prestigious journals, and given over a 100 seminars world-wide. I have spent over a dozen years managing other physicists and scientists for large corporations. These days I tutor math, physics, English, and other topics on a daily basis to high school and college students, as well as consult and help with tricky translations.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

While getting my doctorate in Physics, during my post-doctorate studies in the US, and for quite a number of years after that, I presented material during speeches at about 100 different venues across the globe. More importantly, I was invited to (paid to) give about 40 presentations, including keynote speeches, at various conferences around the globe. Following that, I routinely presented to executives in multi-billion dollar Fortune 100 and even larger public corporations. This is one of my absolute strengths.

For someone who doesn't really like to write essays, Alex was a life saver for me. He helped me with my personal statement letter and resume. He did a great job. He is professional and dependable. I def recommend Alex!

Highly recommend Alex for tutoring!

I reached out to Alex for assistance with a Essay. I needed someone that was well experienced in writing properly as well as making sure that there is a good flow for the reader. Overall, Alex went above and beyond my expectations while still being able to maintain what i am capable of writing. I highly recommend Alex as a tutor, he will listen, ask questions and do his best to help accomplish what it is you are seeking to complete!

Great Experience

Alex made a great first impression. My son was able to come away from the first lesson with some helpful tools and things to practice. Alex was knowledgeable on the content, focused, and honed in on the skills that need work. We are excited to continue working with him!
