Language Tutoring

Axel is a rising junior at Harvard College, concentrating in Neuroscience. He grew up in Winchester, Virginia and has been tutoring since 2022, when he began working at Mathnasium, helping K-12 students develop their math skills. He takes an emphasis on working to fill in gaps of knowledge below the student's grade level to build a strong foundation to support the transition to higher level courses. During his time at Mathnasium, he split his time between guiding students through homework problems and strengthening foundational skills in the same session, depending on the students' needs and preferences. Given his field of study, Axel is willing to be flexible in identifying unique teaching approaches to cater to different learning styles, and his neurodivergence makes him experienced in finding ways to work with your brain when it comes to learning, especially with unconventional learning approaches.

Hello! I'm a sophomore at Harvard studying neuroscience, and I'm also pre-med. I've been tutoring since I was a sophomore in high school, and have helped people study for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, and various AP exams. I also really enjoy working with people to build a more solid foundation in English, math, and science. Over time, I've built up a lot of different strategies for different ways to approach learning and reviewing materials, and my goal is always to make learning as easy and enjoyable as possible for everyone. Numbers aren't everything, but if you're looking to study for a standardized test, I've done quite a few. I got a 5 on 11 AP exams (including Biology, Chemistry, Physics 1 and 2, and Calc AB/BC) and a 7 on IB Spanish, and my SAT score was a 1590.

I am a first-year student at Harvard University, concentrating in Neurobiology on the pre-med track. I have experience tutoring high school students from freshmen to seniors. I also have experience tutoring middle school students. When I was a senior in high school, I tutored juniors and seniors that struggled to understand AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, and AP Biology as I had taken all those courses in my junior year and received A's in all of them. The students that I tutored understood the material soon after, and their grades reflected that. I also took 4 years of Spanish in high school, including AP Spanish, receiving A's at every level. I continue my Spanish studies at Harvard. Overall, I love helping students learn subjects that they struggle with and am able to do it in a way that allows them to enjoy learning the material.
