Bio

Teaching is my eternal passion; a bad day teaching is better than a good day doing anything else! I've been teaching mostly elementary school aged students for around 7 years, as of September 2021, and I've been tutoring 1 on 1 for even longer. I'm in high demand as an ESL teacher (lived in Asia for years doing this and becoming one of the best), but would much rather teach Math fundamentals and essay writing, as these subjects actually make my students become better as human beings!

Teaching is my eternal passion; a bad day teaching is better than a good day doing anything else! I've been teaching mostly elementary school aged students for around 7 years, as of September 2021, and I've been tutoring 1 on 1 for even longer. I'm in high demand as an ESL teacher (lived in Asia for years doing this and becoming one of the best), but would much rather teach Math fundamentals and essay writing, as these subjects actually make my students become better as human beings! I find most joy in teaching my students to think critically, expand their minds, and most of all, attain genuine WISDOM.

I taught as a substitute teacher for half a year, and during that time I taught every subject that is taught in American public schools. Math is my favorite, but to be honest I wasn't challenged by any subject or classroom; the public school system is horrendous, and at this point in 2021, downright demonic. When students see I'm a real person who is honest and funny they instantly respect me and get serious about the ongoing process of learning; that's what being human means! It's very important to have fun during class, especially with young children, so I'm always friendly and casual, but never lacking effectiveness. Having fun is forbidden in most American public schools, so I see it as my job to pick up the slack, while also doing a great job actually teaching the kids what they need to know, which is also lacking in our public school system. Hope to hear from you soon!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

4+ months experience teaching grades 6-12 in VT public schools. Now I have more than 36 hours experience tutoring Algebra and Geometry on Wyzant, with perfect 5 star reviews.
Common Core

Common Core

Common Core substitute teacher for 4+ months. I started teaching around the same time that common core was instated. It is difficult for students and parents to wrap their mind around, so I strive most of all to make it as easy as possible.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have 1 year experience teaching elementary math in brick and mortar schools, and ~7 years experience teaching in general. I have tutored math for students here on Wyzant more than 12 hours. Elementary math is no different than any other elementary subject I have taught, including English. I focus on the fundamentals first and foremost, and slowly increase the speed and degree of difficulty for the student.
Geometry

Geometry

I taught geometry as a substitute in many different grades for a few months in VT. I have more dedicated experience teaching geometry as a 1-on-1 tutor; 36+ hours on Wyzant, and 40+ hours on another online platform.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I am not a test preparation teacher; I focus on building solid conceptual skills in my students. This way, they can solve any problem thrown at them, with the most peace of mind. The methods I give to my students are fool proof and systematic; they cannot fail, but they do require a careful and patient attitude. When the fundamentals are mastered, the advanced levels are easy!
TOEFL

TOEFL

I have more experience teaching ESL than any other subject. It's really difficult to teach someone who can't speak the same language as you! Regardless, I use everything I have at my disposal to do an excellent job; songs, games, flashcards, etc. Every online company I've taught for I've received scores from students and parents at 90% or higher.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Alexander is so patient. He will often extend his time with my son to be sure that he is understanding the material. He wil review a problem as many times as he needs to be sure my son is confident. Alexander has relieved so much stress and anxiety for my son. He's been a blessing!
