I hold an associate's degree in Math and Science, a bachelor's in Geosciences with a minor in Science, Technology, and Society from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and a master's in Earth Science from the American Museum of Natural History. My career has taken me to NASA, where I served as an associate researcher and educator, and to Columbia Climate School. Currently, I am an Earth and Space educator, passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists and explorers.

I'm very passionate about doing research in the geosciences. My scientific research focuses on environmental sustainability and climate change. I am especially interested in understanding the climate processes that affect urban environments, like the Urban Heat Island Effect. I'm currently working at NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies on a research project that focuses in this area.

I'm passionate about education because I love to teach! I love to help students gain knowledge about the history of Earth and our planet's processes. My goal is to raise minority young scientists and encourage them to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers. I know that my students can do anything and I help them to believe it too. My students learn scientific concepts not from lectures, textbooks or memorization, but through manipulatives and lab experiences that illustrate the concepts.

Earth Science

I have spent the past seven years teaching Earth and Space Science, designing and facilitating hands-on labs that cover a wide range of topics such as rocks, landscapes, climate, oceans, and space. I have experience setting up and creating engaging lab activities that help students explore real-world scientific concepts. In addition to classroom instruction, I have also tutored students one-on-one in these areas to support their understanding and academic growth. My goal has always been to make Earth science meaningful, accessible, and exciting for all learners.

Great Tutor

Alex was very helpful in preparing my daughter for NY Regents. He was available and clarified topics in ways that was easy for her to understand. Definitely recommend.

Extra Effort! I

Alex has been fabulous with our son who is 15 and has ADD! He patiently gets him back on track and makes learning enjoyable! Our son’s grades on recent tests have improved tremendously as his HS teacher assigns 42 HW assignments in one month, making it almost impossible for students to keep up and retain material. It’s a disservice to my son and his classmates as he has the NYS Regents exam the end of the year. Thankfully, Alex has given him a greater understanding of lessons in class. Highly recommend. TY, Alex!

Science Regents

Alex tutors me once a week for now but in October Alex will tutor me twice a week. Alex explains the answers very clearly. You can tell that he enjoys teaching the subject and is very knowledgeable in teaching the Science regents material.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Alex was such a great tutor. He was patient and kind and got my son to think. He would spend as much time as needed. He helped my son get a 91 on his earth science regents. I highly recommend.

Flexible and knowledgeable tutor

We reached out to Alex for assistance in Geometry Regents prep at very short notice, and he was great. He understood the topics and easily explained areas with learning gaps in a very understandable format. Our son found his lesson with Alex very helpful.

Engaging and patient

Alex helped my son prepare for his Earth Science regents, having to work on a year's worth of content over just a few weeks. He was able to get through the material making it painless and interesting and flexibly working with our schedule.

Alex was awesome with my son and we will definitely utilize him in the future. He was prompt and easy to work with. His fee is extremely reasonable!!

True scientist and a great teacher

My daughter tested out of high school Environmental science class in 8th grade. She has studied on her own and asked specific questions to him. She had several tutors to work with, but Alex was the only one who deeply understood the subjects and patiently reviewed her questions and interests. He is beyond a teacher. He was not just going over the textbook. He can let her think about each subject exploratory. Highly recommend him.
