About Alex

Bio

Hi! I'm Alex, a 2026 graduate of Brown University with an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics and Visual Art (honors). I scored 1580 on the SAT (800 Math, 780 Reading and Writing) and earned 5s on every AP exam I took, including Calculus BC and Physics C. At Brown I studied everything from electricity and magnetism to quantum mechanics, so I teach from a deep understanding of the material.

Hi! I'm Alex, a 2026 graduate of Brown University with an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics and Visual Art (honors). I scored 1580 on the SAT (800 Math, 780 Reading and Writing) and earned 5s on every AP exam I took, including Calculus BC and Physics C. At Brown I studied everything from electricity and magnetism to quantum mechanics, so I teach from a deep understanding of the material.

Over the past year I tutored for more than 90 hours. Online, I worked one on one with students in grades 7 through 11 in Algebra 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Physics, including AP prep. In person, I tutored Brown varsity athletes in university physics. As a research assistant in Brown's physics department, I also co-wrote an active-learning electricity and magnetism workbook for an introductory course. In sessions I ask questions before I explain, use sketches and simulations to make ideas visual, and break hard problems into steps a student can own.

I work best with middle and high school students in algebra through calculus, physics including AP, and the SAT. I was also managing editor of my high school newspaper, so I can help with reading and essays too. Beyond grades, I want students to get genuinely excited about what they're learning, the way my own mentors did for me.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I earned an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics from Brown University and scored 800 on the SAT Math section, and algebra is the language I've used every day since. Over the past year I tutored middle and high school students one on one in Algebra 2, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus, where shaky Algebra 1 skills like solving equations, graphing lines, and factoring are usually the real reason a student is struggling. I focus on rebuilding those foundations so they stick, explaining the why behind each step instead of handing over shortcuts to memorize. In sessions I use clear worked examples, graphing tools like Desmos, and plenty of practice problems so students leave confident they can do the next one on their own.
Calculus

Calculus

I scored a 5 on AP Calculus BC and earned an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics from Brown, where I took Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Methods of Mathematical Physics and used calculus daily in every physics course. Over the past year I tutored high school students one on one in Pre-Calculus and Physics, building the skills that carry directly into calculus. I explain limits, derivatives, and integrals through graphs and real physical examples like motion and rates of change, so students understand what the math means instead of just memorizing rules. My goal is for students to walk into a test confident they can solve problems they haven't seen before.
Geometry

Geometry

I earned an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics from Brown University and scored 800 on the SAT Math section, and geometry runs through nearly everything I studied, from vectors and coordinate geometry to the curved spaces of general relativity. Over the past year I tutored middle and high school students one on one in Geometry, helping with homework, unit tests, and the logic of writing proofs. My senior honors thesis even centered on geometry, mapping the structure of a jazz composition onto 3D shapes and real-time visuals, so I love making abstract ideas visible. In sessions I lean on clear diagrams, sketches, and interactive tools like Desmos so students can see why a theorem works, not just memorize it.
Physics

Physics

I earned an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics from Brown University, with coursework in classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and general relativity, and I scored a 5 on AP Physics C. Over the past year I tutored high school students online in physics and AP prep, and tutored Brown varsity athletes in person in university-level physics. As a research assistant in Brown's physics department, I co-wrote an active-learning electricity and magnetism workbook and instructor guide for an introductory course, so I know where students typically get stuck and how to get them unstuck. In sessions I pair clear diagrams and simulations with step-by-step problem solving, so students build real intuition alongside the math.
Precalculus

Precalculus

This past year I tutored Precalculus one on one for more than 40 hours, working with high school students on functions, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, and test preparation. I earned an Sc.B. in Mathematical Physics from Brown and scored a 5 on AP Calculus BC, so I know exactly which Precalculus skills students will need when they reach calculus. I break each topic into clear steps, use graphing tools like Desmos to show how functions behave, and give targeted practice on whatever is tripping a student up. My students left our sessions more confident on homework and tests, and better prepared for the next course.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I’m a physics major at Brown University and have completed upper-level coursework in Quantum Mechanics I & II. I’ve tutored college students in quantum concepts ranging from wave functions and operators to spin systems and perturbation theory. My experience also includes collaborative problem-solving sessions and designing active-learning materials that make abstract topics more intuitive. I enjoy helping students build both mathematical fluency and conceptual understanding.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I am a mathematical physics major at Brown University and scored a 1580 on my SAT. I can help your child achieve an excellent score and build her confidence when retaking the exam. I am also willing to travel to your location.
Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

I’ve studied Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics as part of my physics degree at Brown University. My coursework has covered the laws of thermodynamics, ideal and real gases, heat engines, entropy, and basic statistical mechanics. I’ve helped peers work through problem sets and develop a stronger grasp of both the math and the physical intuition behind thermal systems. I focus on making abstract ideas concrete through visuals, examples, and real-world analogies.

Sat math

The SAT math tutoring session was really helpful and made tough topics easier to understand. Alex explained everything clearly and gave me tips that I didn’t know before. I feel more confident now and actually enjoyed learning the material.
