Alexander M.
Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
Oberlin College, Class of 2015, Double Major in Neuroscience and Philosophy.
Experience
Two years tutoring in elementary school and privately in homes. 32 on the ACT with writing. I know I love tutoring, and want to continue to help make learning accessible and enjoyable. Curiosity is key, so I work with students to discover what is interesting and relevant about any given topic. I have taken three semesters of a class that focused on effective tutoring. Other things about me: I helped start a non-profit to fight gentrification in Philadelphia while increasing access to affordable housing and education, I ran the meditation club and wrestling team at Oberlin, was part of a small seminar that was awarded a grant to teach the neuroscience of addiction to an 8th grade class, I love cooking, and being outside and reading fantasy books makes me happy.

Hobbies
My biggest hobbie is definitely cooking. Everything I cook I make up on the spot. I've been cooking since I was 10 or so, and the process for me is all about creativity and experimentation. I also really enjoy reading, primarily dystopic and surreal fantasy, but also poetry, plays, and whatever my friends recommend. I wrestled in high school, and later founded a wrestling team at my college. I also played rugby for two years. I write poetry and music from time to time, but the quality is still pretty questionable.
