I have taught and tutored all of the above and more at every level of school! I am also fluent in Greek. I am willing to be flexible with tutoring times and hope to help students learn to master these difficult subjects. Feel free to contact me at any time.

Hands down the best tutor on this platform

Alex is by far the best tutor I have come across. His pure knowledge and understanding of topics are incredible! He explains topics so well and always makes sure you fully understand them and won't move on until you do! Not to mention his flexibility! He has helped me so much in Organic Chemistry and Genetics! Honestly the best pre-med/bio major tutor on here! He will not disappoint you!

Excellent tutor- patient and encouraging!

I reached out to Alex to help my son with chemistry, and we had a wonderful experience. At the end of the session, my son commented that he wished every high school teacher were like Alex! Alex was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure my son understood each concept before moving on to the next. My son never felt rushed and was comfortable asking questions. As a parent, I truly appreciate that. Highly recommend!

Makes it so easy!

He broke down a month of chemistry my daughter didn’t understand in one hour - she has a lot more confidence! Will def use him again! Highly recommend!

Maritza, 1 lesson with Alex

Very knowledgable

Alex was a fantastic tutor for orgo 2! He came prepared and was able to answer every question without hesitation and in-depth, showing his deep knowledge in the class. He was even able to write upside down while explaining the material which, as a visual learner, helped me understand much more. I definitely recommend him!

Adriana, 9 lessons with Alex

10/10 chem tutor

Mr. Alex and I meet weekly to go over my MA4000 chem homework, and he is by far the best chem tutor I have ever had in my high school career. Every week, I share my papers with him, and he thoroughly walks me through every step of the problems, checking to make sure I understand. Mr. Alex is kind and understanding, and I love working with him!

Genuinely The FIRST Tutor To EVER Understand How I Learn

Every single time I have a tutoring session with Alex he absolutely brings me so much ease when it comes to my exams. I have ADHD and it makes focusing in class very difficult, especially when I cannot always follow how the professor teaches. I am taking Organic Chemistry 2 in college and on top a very large class load. Alex has been incredible in taking the time to be patient with my learning and to help explain topics to me in the way that I best understand. He makes sure I have time to understand everything before moving on and he ever gets annoyed or upset. Tutoring used to give me anxiety, because I felt embarrassed that I needed help and that the tutor would judge me. Alex is the reason I feel more confident in asking for help in my studies and he's the reason I am able to pass my exams. Thank you Alex, you seriously are awesome!

Great Teacher

He taught/reviewed the genetics material college level very well. Knowledgeable in this subject and definitely recommend you take his class if you need help in Genetics.

Ginu, 6 lessons with Alex

Knowledgeable and Helpful

My son is in 10th grade honors chemistry and was struggling - my son had a digital remote day and was able to get an 11 AM tutoring session - the flexibility was key for us and Alex had solid reviews - my son told me he will definitely go back to Alex for more help - Alex made sure my son understood each step before moving to the next topic.
