"My name is Alex, and I look forward to assisting you! I offer tutoring in secondary and postsecondary mathematics (high school algebra through undergraduate calculus IV, including that relevant to the ACT and other standardized tests), philosophy and formal logic, and essay-writing in the humanities and social sciences.
My educational background is in mathematics and philosophy. I received a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in May 2018. In 2019, I began my graduate studies in Philosophy at Columbia University, where I am currently enrolled as an ABD PhD candidate. I received an M.A. and an M.Phil. in Philosophy during the course of my graduate studies at Columbia. My doctoral research interests lie in the history of late-modern European philosophy and its contributions to contemporary social, political, and economic thought.
During my educational career, I have accumulated a range of teaching and tutoring experiences. As an undergraduate, I tutored student athletes in philosophy and worked as a teaching assistant for both an upper-division and a graduate-level formal logic course in the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. Between my undergraduate and graduate studies, I spent a year working as a teaching assistant in the Department of Philosophy at my alma mater, leading two biweekly discussion sections per semester during the 2018-19 academic year. As a PhD student, I have worked as a recitation instructor for a total of eight semesters. During the 2024 Summer term, I was the instructor of record for an intensive upper-division course on social and political philosophy, for which I designed the syllabus and curriculum. Most recently, I have been serving as a long-term math substitute at public high schools in central MN. I have recently taught high school Geometry, Algebra II, and Calculus I and II." less...
