Bio

Hello! My name is Alex. I am a 2020 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Economics & Statistics and a minor in Chinese. I graduated with a 3.3 GPA and honors in global distinction for my success in studying Chinese, including at the prestigious National Taiwan University.

Hello! My name is Alex. I am a 2020 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Economics & Statistics and a minor in Chinese. I graduated with a 3.3 GPA and honors in global distinction for my success in studying Chinese, including at the prestigious National Taiwan University.

Throughout my experience as a tutor, I have supported students of all ages in various subjects. For two years, I served as a mentor and tutor for Pittsburgh middle school and high school students, where I assisted students in subjects, specifically algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, and pre-calculus. During my senior year, I was an AmeriCorps teacher's aide in elementary schools and served as the president of my school's Chinese Language Learning Club. Through both of these experiences, I learned how to perfect lesson planning and effectively communicate information to students. I have also privately tutored classmates who struggled with college economics and mathematics courses. I'm inspired to tutor because I enjoy the opportunity to help others meet their academic goals. I recognize the difficulty some students face when studying. Because of this, I aim to be a helpful, reliable guide. I also realize that not all students learn new subjects the same way. Therefore, I will work to figure out the best learning style for each student I tutor so that they succeed in their courses. Additionally, I teach, so students learn concepts instead of memorizing them. I always find ways to connect ideas to help students contextualize material in the broader scope of the course.

I have taken courses up to calculus 3, linear algebra, econometrics, game theory, and high-level statistics courses. I understand their degree of difficulty and how overwhelming they can be, but anyone can learn these subjects. It's just a matter of determining how students can best learn them.

Please feel free to send me a message so we can work together and help you succeed, and I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!

Incredible Tutor

I've been working with Alex for my Microeconomics for Business course and he has absolutely saved my grade. Alex is a fantastic tutor and I would have failed this class without him. Not only is he great at explaining the math but has helped me genuinely understand the concepts and the reasons behind each step as well. No matter how many times I need him to explain the same idea he does so with patience and kindness and is able to provide a different manner of explanation if I can't get it down the first time. I have recommended him to classmates and plan to work with him for my macroeconomics course next semester relieving me of the stress for that class which would certainly be far more difficult without his help. I truly cannot reccomend him enough!

Excellent Tutor! Very highly recommend!

My son has been working with Alex on a variety of subjects (AP macro/micro, Trig, SAT Math) for a few months now. Alex is a fantastic tutor; very knowledgeable, very patient, thorough and efficient. He's very easy to work with and very responsive to emails and lesson requests. Alex is my son's favorite tutor and only has positive things to say about the work they do. We will be continuing to use Alex for future lesson needs. We can't recommend Alex enough!!!

Patient + Determined Tutor

Alex is one of the best tutors I have ever had. I've had sessions with tutors 3x his price that aren't nearly as good as Alex. He looked over the questions before our session to make sure he could explain them well. He's great at breaking down hard concepts and equations. Best of all, he always is encouraging and will make time for his students to ensure they suceed.

Awesome Tutor!!! highly recommend

Alex is so great! He’s very patient and when we would review he made sure to break down the exact way to solve microeconomics problems with methods and tricks that MAKE SENSE. He’s very accommodating and wants to make sure you get it. I told him I was having a lot of trouble understanding certain things and he clarified so many different topics that I feel much more comfortable with now. Book him!
