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. My tutoring style is flexible based on the students’ need.

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.

I'm a MIT and University of Chicago graduate. I have years of tutoring experience, working for big names like Kaplan and NEXT. I have helped dozens of students with the SAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, English and general math skills. I also help improve writing skills. My students have gone to top schools.

I believe that the process of learning should be fun for both the student and the teacher, since if either party doesn't enjoy the lessons, there will be no effect. This is why I've chosen online tutoring in general, because it's easier to have more effective lessons one on one. I'm also an international physics olympiad winner, which comes with a lot of learning on my part as well, so I can confidently say I know the process well. Teaching gives me a special kind of satisfaction. Knowing that you've helped someone gain knowledge and understand something new is a really wonderful feeling....

I have 21 years experience teaching in excellent public schools. I have also tutored extensively in English grammar and writing. Students have told me that they enjoy my teaching style. I get a great deal of satisfaction in working with students trying to achieve verbal and written mastery of English.
