My goal is to remove the stress that school causes and provide mentorship in a chill, peaceful manner. As a student myself, I can relate to academic struggles and hardships, and will never criticize mistakes or poor performance.

Hi! I’m Alister, an engineering student at Stanford University. I tutor math (grade K-12), physics & chemistry (high school), and language arts (grade K-8). I have four years of experience and love working with students to solidify understanding—once students truly grasp concepts, I find they start to really enjoy the subject.
