About Alexandra
Hey y'all! My name is Alex, and I would love to be your new biology tutor. It would fulfill some of my deepest career dreams if I could have a positive influence on your learning experience. I am committed to understanding your goals and learning your strengths and inhibitions so that we can focus up and work together on feeling good about learning difficult subjects like biology.
I recently graduated from Appalachian State University (August 2022) with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology, concentrating in Ecology, Evolution, and Environment and minoring in Sustainable Development. I earned a 3.86 GPA, but I had actually maintained a 3.94 GPA until my final semester when senioritis kicked in and I earned my first and only ever B+'s.
I have always had a passion for helping others learn. I have been practicing tutoring, formally and informally, since high school when I obtained 60 tutoring hours for my senior project. I helped fellow students with varying levels of biology, chemistry, physics, math, and writing. I then graduated high school with a 4.2 GPA.
I carried my passion for learning and sharing knowledge with me throughout college. I informally helped numerous classmates and friends pass our biology, chemistry, and calculus courses. Then, my sophomore year (fall 2019), I got a job as a University Tutor at the Student Learning Center, where I primarily helped students with biology and calculus. I earned tutor of the month in October 2019 for showcasing exemplary patience and a positive attitude when working with students.
My favorite part of tutoring is the learning that I also get to do. I get to learn how so many unique brains work as we are both faced with puzzles that we work as a team to piece together. I learn how to think about problems from multiple different perspectives, and then I get to practice fine tuning my language and explanations to fit the students' needs. Oftentimes, it may take a few tries explaining something before a student truly understands. But that "aha!" moment, when I finally figure out how best to communicate with a student, is not only rewarding to the student effectively learning the subject, but also to me effectively learning the student.
Additionally, I love getting to relieve the stress that confusing subjects can cause a student. I get to watch them become lighter and less stressed as they finally understand something that has been confusing them.
Finally, I get to talk about cool subjects, like DNA, cells, and photosynthesis! I truly enjoyed being a student because I got to learn about the most intruiging topic there is: the study of life! This knowledge is something I want to carry with me forever, and it lives on in me through the tutoring of students.
