About Alex

I hold a master's degree in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University and a bachelor's degree in Economics & Business from Colorado College. I have discovered the secret recipe to make learning enjoyable and memorable—turning complex theory into common sense.

I have spent almost a decade teaching college courses. As a strategist and tutor, I specialize in Math, Statistics, and Economics.

My Strategy

My strategy involves active learning and viewing tutoring as a partnership. My sessions are interactive; we use a digital whiteboard where you drive the solution process. This hands-on method builds the neural pathways required for true mastery rather than just passive observation. Every session includes whiteboard notes for your review.

Academic Integrity: I maintain a strict firewall. I do not complete homework, exams, or quizzes. We work on underlying concepts using parallel problems.
Featured Review

"Great Microeconomics Tutor."

We had a wonderful experience with Alex for college-level microeconomics. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He helped my son understand challenging concepts by using clear, relatable examples that made concepts much easier to grasp.

Knowledgeable. Alec was excellent! He explained the concepts clearly and shared helpful tips that made the material easier to understand. I wish he was local because I learn better hands on.

Alex responded:
Hi Shonelle, thank you so much! (And for future reference, it's Alex, with an 'x'!). I completely understand the value of in-person learning, which is why I've worked hard to make my online sessions as interactive as possible using a digital whiteboard to create a 'hands-on' virtual experience.
