Hello! I'm Alek, and I'm here to help you build a strong understanding of physics and math. I'm passionate about teaching and enjoy helping students gain confidence in these subjects.

I hold a Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard, and I’m currently an Associate Research Scholar at Princeton and a visitor at Harvard. I believe that learning physics and math should be engaging and accessible. My goal is to break down complex concepts into manageable pieces and help students develop a deeper understanding of the material. I tailor my teaching approach to each student, identifying their specific needs and areas for improvement. I carefully select practice problems that help pinpoint gaps in understanding and build a strong foundation.

My primary focus is on college and high school students taking courses such as linear algebra, quantum mechanics, AP Calculus, and trigonometry. With over a decade of experience teaching college physics and high school math, I'm well-equipped to guide students through these subjects. Whether you need a quick refresher, assistance with a project, exam preparation, or consistent support throughout the semester, I'm happy to help.

I began teaching 14 years ago as a part-time math olympiad instructor. Many of my students went on to earn national and international medals. Since then, I've taught numerous courses during college and graduate school, refining my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and effectively. During my years of teaching at Harvard and Princeton, I have always received excellent student evaluations.

If you're looking to strengthen your understanding of physics or math, or have any questions about my approach, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to discuss your goals and how I can help you achieve them.

Exceptional Tutoring Experience with Alek

We had the privilege of working with Alek, and I must say it was nothing short of amazing. My daughter was struggling with her Linear Algebra homework and upcoming test, and Alek came to our rescue like a true expert. Alek's knowledge in the subject matter was truly impressive. He beoke down complex concepts into understandable pieces. It was evident that Alek had a deep understanding of Linear Algebra, and his passion for teaching shone through in every moment of her sessions. In conclusion, Alek is an exceptional tutor who possesses not only an impressive knowledge of Linear Algebra but also the ability to effectively convey that knowledge to students. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Excellent Tutor – Explains Concepts Better Than College Professors

My daughter is currently in college, but the math instruction (Linear Algebra) there hasn’t been very effective — the professor explains like as if the kids already know the topic. We decided to work with Alek, and it has made such a huge difference. He explains every concept patiently and in a way that truly makes sense. My kid doesn't feel that overwhelmed now and her confidence in the subject is improving. We have so far taken only 3 classes and plan on taking more. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who goes above and beyond to ensure real understanding.

Great tutor, especially if physics is not your forte

Alek is very nice and great at explaining concepts and particularly challenging physics problems in a way that non-physics people (me) can understand. 10/10 would recommend!
