Math nerd hoping to share my knowledge with others

Alexandra A.

I have always had a natural aptitude for math, which is reflected in my academic achievements. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA in my Associate’s degree program, and I have successfully completed coursework up to Trigonometry/Precalculus in college. In high school, I earned a perfect score on the Algebra SOLs and achieved an 1890 SAT score in 2015, with a 640 in math. These accomplishments underscore my strong foundation in mathematics, but what truly sets me apart is my ability to communicate complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of tutoring my peers in various math courses, including algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus. My approach to tutoring is rooted in my deep understanding of the material and my ability to break it down into manageable, digestible parts. I’ve learned that each student learns in a unique way, so I adapt my teaching methods to match the individual’s learning style. Whether through visual aids, step-by-step problem solving, or real-life applications, I strive to make abstract concepts feel more tangible and relatable.

In terms of experience, I have worked one-on-one with a diverse range of students, including high school and college peers. My tutoring sessions are collaborative and student-centered, where I focus on building the student’s confidence by encouraging them to think critically and solve problems independently. I also focus on reinforcing foundational skills, so that students can feel empowered to tackle more advanced topics on their own.

I believe that learning should be an enjoyable and rewarding process, so I always strive to make lessons engaging and interactive. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their grades but to help them develop a genuine understanding and love for math that will stay with them long after our sessions end.
