Hi there! I'm Alexia, an experienced educator with a passion for fostering academic growth and confidence in students. Equipped with a degree in Psychology with a focus in Education from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I am dedicated to empowering students to reach their full potential and succeed academically.

For the past six years, I have been privileged to work with a diverse range of students through the nonprofit Plexuss Foundation as well as fulfilling the role of lead teacher in an in-person, international school setting. My tutoring journey spans a wide spectrum, guiding students all the way through university-level. I am certified to teach a variety of subjects including Mathematics through Algebra 1, Reading Comprehension, Essay Writing, Grammar, and Study Skills. Additionally, my proficiency extends to Computer Skills, Arabic, specialized SAT/ACT English and Writing preparation, and state testing preparation. I have had great success in delivering personalized, interactive lesson plans that pinpoint and address gaps in students' understanding.

Regarding my method of teaching, I understand that each student learns differently. Some excel with traditional methods like textbooks and homework, while others thrive with interactive approaches such as games and videos. Recognizing this diversity, I am flexible in my teaching style, tailoring lessons to meet the unique needs of each student.

I look forward to partnering with you or your child on their academic journey, fostering a love for learning and meeting your learning goals together!

Approved Subjects

Arabic

Arabic

I have been pursuing Arabic for over 10 years, including online courses, in-person college courses, one-on-one tutors, textbook style learning, and moving to the Middle East directly for language immersion. After gaining fluency in the Egyptian dialect, I am aware of how to address the specific needs of English speakers when trying to learn Arabic when it comes to pronunciation, grammar, and cultural understanding. As a tutor, I am aware of how to identify student learning styles and how to utilize various materials and resources for language-learning.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have worked for three and a half years as a k-6 tutor, bringing under-performing students up to grade level. As a tutor I have helped students in phonics and spelling, paragraph writing, reading comprehension, and grammar with great success. I also have tutored in math and taught basic addition all the way to pre-algebra.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have worked for the past five years for a non-profit wherein I help underperforming students meet grade-level standards. One of the things I work with students K-8 on is math skills needed for state testing and success in the classroom. My approach is a comprehension based approach- I don't aim for students simply to memorize, but rather to be able to comprehend, critically think, and apply skills in real-life scenarios.
English

English

I have spend the last 5 years working with students on essays, test prep, and other English/writing assignments. I have prepared and executed lesson plans fit individually to students both in-person and online.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I have worked as a student at the IT desk at the University of Massachusetts Amherst setting up, troubleshooting, and fixing issues on MacBooks, as this is the primary device students use. MacBooks and iMacs have been the sole devices I've used throughout my time at university until today, and I have become an expert in their functions and navigations. I've helped a number of students here on Wyzant with navigating and troubleshooting their MacBooks with great success.
STAAR

STAAR

As someone who has been preparing k-12 students for state standardized testing for over six years, I have worked with many Texas-based students and become incredibly familiar with the STAAR curriculum and procedures. I have supported students on the reading, writing, mathematics, and social studies STAAR tests as well as both the online and paper versions and have had great success.
