Alexandra

WHAT MAKES HER AN AWESOME TUTOR

I love when people ask me a lot of questions because they are not afraid of learning new concept and ideas. I am extremely patient with my students and understand that everyone learns at a different pace and that's okay!

FUN FACTS

Words to Live By: 

"Do one thing every day that scares you." Eleanor Roosevelt. Even if it's something small you've never done before, it'll make you 1% better than yesterday

Favorite Mathematical Weapon: Lots of visuals! Graphs, number lines, tables... anything to help see the bigger picture before solving technical and intricate problems

When you're not crunching numbers: I love to go to the gym with my friends or take a long walk with my dog to wind down from a busy day

What’s the best thing about you? I am the epitome of "work hard, play hard." I work extremely hard in my studies and also know when it is necessary to rest, recover and make time for what's important to me to achieve a work, life balance.

NERD ALERT! 

I'd rather read medical journals than a magazine. I think after years of watching Grey's Anatomy, I decided it was time to pretend I was near qualified to understand the diagnoses appearing in the show. Studying health is my hobby!
