About Morgan

Bio

I'm an Alexandria native and attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. While at TJ, I developed a love for both computer science and genetics, which I used toward a mentorship at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Later, I went on to Virginia Tech and worked in several labs, before I graduated in 2014 with a degree in Biochemistry, and minors in Chemistry and Computer Science.

From middle school onward I've enjoyed tutoring students when I can. I believe...

I'm an Alexandria native and attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. While at TJ, I developed a love for both computer science and genetics, which I used toward a mentorship at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Later, I went on to Virginia Tech and worked in several labs, before I graduated in 2014 with a degree in Biochemistry, and minors in Chemistry and Computer Science.

From middle school onward I've enjoyed tutoring students when I can. I believe myself to be a patient tutor, and I find fulfillment in helping others. I can find multiple approaches to a problem, allowing me to provide the approach that best fits each student.

My mathematics coursework includes BC Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, and Matrix Algebra. I scored a 780/800 on the math portion of the SAT and a 170/170 on the quantitative reasoning portion of the GRE, which are based heavily in Algebra and Statistics.

I have strong reading comprehension, and can quickly pick up on the gist of an article or statement. Further, I am proficient in grammatical knowledge of the English language. My skill in proofreading is exemplified by my 161/170 (87th percentile) in the Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE.

While at Thomas Jefferson HSST, I focused on computer science, taking courses in Java, Python, and Artificial Intelligence. I also was able to implement my computer science skills through a statistical computing mentorship at Walter Reed, and went on to use programming in several labs at Virginia Tech, and earned a minor in Computer Science.

I'm a relaxed and patient tutor, with good course experience and strong test-taking skills. I've had positive feedback that I make things easily understood, and provide flexible explanations. Feel free to get in contact with me for more information!

Great tutor!

Morgan is a great teacher. He takes his time to find out where the students break down is, and then teaches from there. He provided instruction, redirection and plenty of feedback. Appears to really know his stuff!

Amy, 3 lessons with Morgan

Very knowledgeable tutor

Morgan is a very smart tutor who understands exactly what my son needs in AP statistics. He has a way of explaining complex concept into simple steps that my son could quickly understand. An outstanding tutor!

Jackie, 5 lessons with Morgan

Very knowledgable and patient

Abby's first session with Morgan was very good. She stated that he was patient and very knowledgable. She walked away from her first lesson feeling good and having a better understanding of the work she went over with him.

Lesli, 12 lessons with Morgan

Awesome Tutor! Very Knowledge and Helpful!!!

Morgan taught me several statistics concepts such as confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and sampling proportions. He is very good at finding several approaches to a problem and explaining in a way that is easily understood. I highly recommend him!!
