I have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park campus. I worked in the Anne Arundel Community College math tutoring lab for 6 years, from 2001-2007, from before starting at the community college until I got my job offer after graduation from the 4-year school. I had walk-in tutoring students for everything from remedial pre-credit math courses through second semester calculus, physics, and chemistry students, because I was reliably available...

Alexis has provided examples of their subject expertise by answering 2 questions submitted by students on Wyzant’s Ask an Expert.
Very knowledgeable
Alexis was able to explain statics to me in a way my professor couldn't. I've only had one session so far, but I felt like I was able to understand the material a lot better.

NOT reliable
I recently scheduled a tutoring session with [Tutor's Name] to get assistance on an urgent HW assignment. As I am currently enrolled in 26 credits this term, I am managing a very heavy workload with an overwhelming amount of assignments. On this particular night, I had three major projects due, so I arranged this session to help me get through one assignment efficiently. Before our session, I made sure to clarify my expectations. There were three problems to solve, and I asked whether we should extend our time to ensure we could complete them. I explicitly requested that we work through the problems together to reach the final answer so I could have something ready to submit, with the understanding that we would review the process in more depth at our next session. This approach would allow me to submit my work and still focus on understanding the concepts in our follow-up session. She said yes absolutely. However, I felt there was a lack of understanding and empathy on the tutor’s part. Despite my clear communication, it seemed there was little consideration for my time constraints and the urgency of my situation. Tutors are there to support students in challenging times, and given the high workload I am juggling, I expected a bit more flexibility and understanding. A more empathetic approach would have gone a long way in helping me manage my academic responsibilities during this hectic period.

amazing tutor
She knows her stuff and knows how to explain it so you can understand it! I really enjoy her help on everything!

The BEST and MOST knowledgeable tutor in STEM (any type of engineering, math, science, she knows it all)
She was extremely patient with me and knew every question I threw at her! She is beyond useful in understanding the steps and moving forward in solving the question at hand. My biggest fear is to pay for a tutor who does not know the material and just waste time, but she is the exact opposite! She helped me with my Dynamics and Feedback homework and knew it like the back of her hand. She Is The TRUTH!

Very good communication
Alexis was great at breaking down the problems and confusions I had with some thermodynamics questions. I was easily able to communicate with them which gave me confidence in the lesson. Would definitely recommend!

Very helpful and capable
Alexis helped me understand heat transfer concepts that I have struggled to understand by being clear and understanding. She puts the extra effort in to help you out and make use of the time effectively. She is also nice and the advice she gives regarding learning and studying helped me rethink how I go about preparing for exams and preparing for being an Engineer.

strong foundational skills
Answered my questions really well and left me with a solid foundation to continue with my studies by. I entered the lesson understanding almost nothing about my assignment and left understanding nearly everything.

Great statics tutor!
Alexis is super patient and explains things super well in a way that leads to deeper understanding of the problem and problems like it! She is very understanding and does a great job at helping you understand the problem rather than just doing it for you!

Helpful titor
Alexis did a great job helping my daughter with her math assignments. Patient and knowledgeable. Needed a tutor ASAP and she responded right away and helped the same day.
