"Hi, I’m Alejandro. I hold a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering and have over ten years of experience tutoring students in math, physics, chemistry, and test preparation. Throughout my academic and professional training, I developed a strong appreciation for instructors who could make complex material clear and approachable, and that philosophy strongly shapes how I tutor today. I work primarily with AP-level high school students and college students in rigorous STEM courses, including calculus, differential equations, thermodynamics, college physics, and general chemistry, as well as SAT Math.

Most of my tutoring experience has been one-on-one, which has allowed me to adapt my teaching style to a wide range of students and learning styles. I often work with students who feel overwhelmed by fast-paced lectures or who struggle to connect formulas to underlying concepts. In my sessions, I focus on building understanding step by step, explaining the reasoning behind problem-solving methods, and helping students develop strategies they can apply independently on homework, quizzes, and exams. I emphasize clarity, structure, and patience, especially for students who feel anxious or lack confidence in math or science.

My goal as a tutor is to help students feel more confident, capable, and in control of their coursework. Whether a student is preparing for the SAT, taking on AP-level classes, or navigating challenging college STEM courses, I tailor each session to their goals and academic needs. I encourage students to reach out with questions and would be happy to discuss how I can support their learning." less...
