Alex (pictured above on the left) is a grad student at UC Irvine, lives in Huntington Beach, CA. He has a bachelor's degree in Engineering from USC where he graduated with a 3.6 GPA and spent the last three years working as a peer tutor in the learing center. He is available to tutor math through advanced calculus in the cities of Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine, and any other Orange County cities in this vicinity not mentioned.

Before working as a tutor Alex had no idea that it was something he would excell at. Once in the learning center though he found a knack for explaining math at all levels and to all types of students, including those with auditory disorders and those with other speical needs.

He has a relaxed and laid back personality and has a good calming effect on those he tutors. He has studied the topics of math anxiety and test anxiety and has been quite helpfull to those pupils who were struggling with these issues.

At USC he and the other peer tutors were not only taught how to help their fellow students to get beyond these challenges but also were given pamphlets with strategies outlining how one can accomplish this on his/her own. He has these pamphlets available with USC's permission and will hand them out to students he thinks may benefit from reading them.

Alex joined Mercury Tutors in September of 2008 and has proven to be a great all around tutor, with mastery of his subjects and great explanation abilities.
