About Alex

Bio

I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics(graduating with a 3.954 GPA) and am currently working towards a math PhD(currently with a 4.0 GPA). I tutored through a local agency for most of my undergraduate years, working with a mix of high school and middle school students in subjects ranging from pre algebra to Calculus. Before college I won a National Merit Scholarship, and received a 35 on the ACT and a 1570/1600 on the SAT.

I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics(graduating with a 3.954 GPA) and am currently working towards a math PhD(currently with a 4.0 GPA). I tutored through a local agency for most of my undergraduate years, working with a mix of high school and middle school students in subjects ranging from pre algebra to Calculus. Before college I won a National Merit Scholarship, and received a 35 on the ACT and a 1570/1600 on the SAT.

As part of my graduate program I work as a TA at the University each semester, leading discussion sections and developing worksheets for students: subjects I've taught include several variations of calculus, pre-calculus, preparatory algebra, linear algebra, and discrete math. In addition to TAing I have twice been the main lecturer for a course(once online and once in person). I have won awards from UW-Madison for teaching during grad school, including an "Early Teaching Award" in 2022-2023 and an "Exceptional Teaching Award" in 2024-2025.

A general philosophy I have used over my years of teaching and tutoring is to work first on the most basic thing a student needs help with. For instance, most often the students I see struggling in calculus aren't struggling with calculus itself but with the prerequisite algebra, trigonometry, or geometry the calculus problems require. I strive towards giving students a supportive and welcoming space where we can drill down to the root of the confusion they have with the material, and then build up their skills from that solid foundation.
