Personal Description:

Hi! My name is Alex, and I live in Fernie, BC. I have a Master's degree in biology from Queen's University and I am currently working as a consultant for mining companies. I love dogs, reading, and hiking.

Tutoring Experience:

I have tutored high school students in chemistry, biology, science and math. I was lucky enough to teach outdoor education for a while, including cross-country skiing, canoeing, and survival skills. I also taught undergraduate biology labs during my Master's degree.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring focuses on helping students have a solid grasp of core concepts by breaking these concepts down into understandable terms and getting to a place where the student can explain the concept back to me. I pride myself on never saying "no" or "that's wrong", but instead saying "that's a good idea, but… ". I am patient, consistent, and knowledgeable.
