Bio

I’d guess you won’t find many other professional athletes teaching on here! As a footballer, I have spare time during the day when I’m not training, and I love to teach! I studied Biology at Cornell and finished with a GPA of 3.5. I’ve always been a well-rounded student. I minored in History as well as Environmental and Sustainability Sciences, and took coursework in/read about many other fields, such as viticulture and enology (wine growing), philosophy, and politics.

I minored in History as well as Environmental and Sustainability Sciences, and took coursework in/read about many other fields, such as viticulture and enology (wine growing), philosophy, and politics. Send me a message and let’s get to work!

My background includes a 35 score on ACT Math section and a 35 score on ACT Science section. I also have coursework in Linear Algebra and Physics at Cornell University.

I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s of Science in Computational Biology. I completed multiple courses in Philosophy and History at Cornell University, which involved extensive reading and writing on topics like virtue, justice, war and peace in ancient civilizations.

I’ve tutored students in Biology, French, History, and Writing every year since my junior year of high school. I also have 3 years of experience training young athletes in soccer and fitness.

Teaching is always a two-way street! Contact me and let’s make each other better - you, a better student of your desired field, and me, a better tutor!

Very Helpful

Alex is a wonderful tutor. He is dedicated, patient, and skilled and he has helped our son to achieve his academic goals. Our son likes that Alex is challenging him to apply new concepts independently. We are so grateful for Alex's professionalism and expertise and we highly recommend him as a tutor.

Great and Affective Tutor

Our Son is in IB Biology, and it is a very hard course. He is also a full time athlete. Working with Alex he has been able to keep an A in the class and is doing very well with the material. Alex is patent and works very well with our son. He has a very strong knowledge of the course and is able to teach it very well.

Knowledgable and very patient tutor.

This is my first class with Alex. He is very friendly and nice. He is concise and his teaching helped me very much. He taught me how to write good essays, I am trying to apply his techniques in my essays.

Alex is great

Alex is working with my high school freshman. He is patient and encouraging and a great tutor. My son's confidence and grades are both improving! My son looks forward to his sessions and finds Alex to be both helpful and enjoyable. We both highly recommend him.
