In my career, I have worked with homeschooled, public school, college, and private school students of all ages gain a love for science with an individualized approach to learning. My educational mantra can best be summed up as, "teach the student, not the curriculum." I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

ADHD

As an adult living with ADD, and I have been able to use my experiences to help students excel. Several of my students have some degree of attention deficiency, and this has given me the ability to use what I've learned from personal experience to facilitate student learning. No two learners are the same, and so I employ a variety of time management and focus techniques to achieve individual goals.

Explains Concepts Very Well!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot express how grateful we are for Ms Alicia! My daughter is now incredibly happy and confident in her AP Biology class. She understands the material so much better compared to her school teacher. Ms Alicia is extremely patient and explains concepts in a way that makes them easy to grasp. Giving her 5 stars feels insufficient because she truly is the best! Thank you for making such a positive impact on my daughter education.

Thank you so much for your kind review! It has been wonderful working with her this year. 😊

Knowledgeable and good teaching skills!

My daughter is in high school and she needed help with her Biology lessons. Alicia was really good, she knows the topic really well and my daughter was really happy with her teaching. We will definitely use her in the future for more help.

Perfect Tutor

Alicia helped my son with some AP Bio test corrections. He was really struggling, but Alicia worked through them systematically and enabled him to understand each question and the topic surrounding it. She communicated wonderfully and knew the subject matter intimately. I thoroughly recommend Alicia, 110%.

Great tutor!

I cannot recommend Alicia enough! My son was struggling in Biology earlier this year, we ended up finding Alicia and she helped him tremendously throughout the year. She was very patient and sweet. She explained things very thoroughly so he had a better understanding of what he was learning. He had many lessons with Alicia and he really liked the way she taught. His grades improved tremendously and he ended up making a 98 A on his final! If you are in need of a good Biology tutor I highly recommend Alicia!

Patient, put my son at ease, great in explaining biology!!

My son was hesitant to have a tutor but he has been struggling in biology. He came out of the session feeling it was extremely helpful and came away with some good study tips that will help him in all subjects. She was so patient and good at explaining the materials and sent a pdf of the notes afterwards. We have used many tutors on Wyzant. She is an absolute gem and we will definitely use her again.

Superb Teacher

Ms. Alicia is an excellent tutor and her teaching skill is beyond our expectations. Before starting the first session, she asked for the materials to focus on. Right after the first meet, my daughter has been impressed how easy the topic Ms. Alicia explained to her. The tutoring sessions has helped her to improve with the tests. Now my daughter has asked for only for Ms. Alicia or none 😁 Ms. Alicia has proven teaching skill is an Art. Thanks so much, Ms. Alicia and we hope to have more tutoring sessions with you. Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year to you and yours!

Knowledgable and very good at explaining.

Alicia is very knowledgeable and her explanations and diagrams really help me visualize the essential concepts and details for AP Biology! I learned and understood cellular perspiration and the Krebs Cycle in an hour, which would have taken one to two weeks at school! Thank you, Alicia!
