Bio

Hi! My name is Alex and I received my PhD in Economics from West Virginia University in May of 2023. I am currently a Assistant Professor of Economics and Data Analytics at Berry College, a small liberal arts college that is ranked #1 in undergraduate teaching quality among regional southern universities. I currently teach courses in business statistics, principles of economics (micro and macro), intermediate microeconomics, and data analytics in R. (And I also tutor game theory, which is...

Hi! My name is Alex and I received my PhD in Economics from West Virginia University in May of 2023. I am currently a Assistant Professor of Economics and Data Analytics at Berry College, a small liberal arts college that is ranked #1 in undergraduate teaching quality among regional southern universities. I currently teach courses in business statistics, principles of economics (micro and macro), intermediate microeconomics, and data analytics in R. (And I also tutor game theory, which is standard in microeconomics.)

I have over eight years of professional tutoring experience (and five years of university teaching experience), two of which were spent at the Learning Assistance and Resource Center of West Chester University. There, I went through three levels of College Reading and Learning Association Certification, and have been a "Master Certified Tutor" since December of 2017. I have thousands of hours of tutoring experience, about half of which is professional while the other half is freelance (such as on Wyzant). I've tutored learners as young as 12 and as old as 50.

Helping students understand concepts fundamentally and improve their grades is the most rewarding feeling in the world. I love being able to use my knowledge to make people's lives easier, and to help them get more out of their education. I make sure no student, no matter how much trouble they're having grasping the material, feels inadequate; I know that everyone learns at a different pace and I always enjoy tutoring no matter the comprehension level of the student.

As a PhD student at WVU, I simultaneously taught multiple large in-person sections of Principles of Microeconomics, Intermediate Microeconomics, Causal Inference in R (RStudio), and Applied Research Methods (the senior capstone course for economics majors). I have also published several papers in peer-reviewed academic journals.

Feel free to shoot me a message and I will get back to you within a few minutes!

Excellent tutor in Economics!

Alex explains things in a way that makes sense. His depth of knowledge of Economics helps break down complex concepts into simple ones. He is accommodating with time, replies fast, and never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. I highly recommend him!

Nagesh, 3 lessons with Alexander

Best tutor I have had!

After two sessions with him my test score went up thirty points from the previous one! Very knowledgeable and makes sure you leave having no questions about the material covered!

Drew, 3 lessons with Alexander

Very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough!

I have been working with Alexander for a few weeks now and his help is extremely valuable. I am in my second to last semester for my Master's in Public Health with a very busy work and school schedule, and he is helping me through my microeconomics class. He knows the subject matter well and explains it in a straightforward way that is easy to understand! Highly recommended.

Susan, 5 lessons with Alexander

Excellent Tutor

Alexander is very knowledgeable in the area of Urban Economics and great at breaking down concepts. He is an excellent tutor and I will definitely be using him again.

Hailey, 3 lessons with Alexander

R tutoring

Alex was really knowledgeable about the statistical concept of mediation and correcting coding errors that I was running into. He also offered additional resources to look up on my own for future reference. I recommend him to help you with your path to understanding R programming and mediation analyses.

Jeffrey, 3 lessons with Alexander

Alexander was able to help me with Rstudio and some codes. Very informative and helpful, definitely recommend. He was patient and explained the info in a way I was able to understand

Tutor responded:

Thank you for the kind words! :)

So knowledgeable and a great teacher

I feel confident that I am mastering the concepts with Alexander - it is rare to find someone who is super knowledgeable and also great at explaining it to someone who doesn’t know the topic at all.

Samy, 7 lessons with Alexander

Knowledgable and Understanding Tutor

Alexander helped me out with my Game Theory Course. He was knowledgable and understanding when I didn't understand the material I was trying to cover. Was very good at helping me understand the concepts and material of the course.

Alex, 3 lessons with Alexander

Fantastic

I've never used a programming language like R Studio before and Alex did a wonderful job at teaching me how to write/use the code, visualize data, explain that data, and so on. Only took us a few sessions for me to get a hang of it. Highly recommended.
