With years of experience tutoring students in Denver, CO—from schools like Teller Elementary and Steck Elementary—we understand that younger students can easily become frustrated with math. We often hear things like, "I’m just not good at math." In most cases, this mindset starts with a single event that left the student feeling embarrassed or discouraged.

Common moments include:

• Being called to the front of the class without knowing the answer

• Being placed in the wrong math level

• Switching schools or teachers

• Life disruptions that interrupt the flow of learning

These moments can create a story in a student’s mind that says, “I’m just not a math person.” And once that story takes hold, it can lead to frustration, avoidance, and lack of confidence.

We work to change that narrative.

At Alexander Tutoring, we match your child with a real mathematician or physicist—someone who has worked in the field and knows how to simplify complex concepts for young learners. When a student feels relaxed and supported, real learning can begin.

In elementary school, we focus on building confidence and mastery in core skills: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. Our goal is to establish a rock-solid foundation in math that your child can build on for years to come.

Each session includes fun mini-tests, quizzes, and interactive drills designed to boost knowledge, retention, and most importantly—confidence.

By working with students from academically rigorous Denver-area middle schools—such as Graland Country Day School, St. Anne’s Episcopal School, and The Logan School for Creative Learning—we understand how critical the middle school years are for building a strong mathematical foundation before high school.

In grades 6, 7, and 8, students encounter a major leap in math content, including:

• Equations

• Integers

• Order of operations

• Proportions

• Percent

• Decimals

• Substitutions

• Measures of central tendency and variability

It’s essential that students master these skills before entering high school. A strong grasp of middle school math is the launchpad for success in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and even calculus.

Too often, students are taught to memorize steps rather than understand why the steps work. They're shown formulas without being told where they come from. That’s where our approach stands out.

At Alexander Tutoring, we take the time to derive every equation and explore the logic behind each concept. That’s where the magic happens. When students begin to see math as a language—one that explains the world around them—they become curious, engaged, and empowered.

Our goal is not just to help your child pass the next test—we want to build lasting understanding and genuine confidence in math that will carry them into high school and beyond.

Math reaches a whole new level in high school. Students at elite schools like Kent Denver School, Colorado Academy, and Dawson School face increased academic pressure as they move into more advanced math courses. At this level, mastery of algebra is essential—it serves as the foundation for geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, and physics.

Our tutors focus on core high school math concepts including:

• Complex numbers

• Functions

• Slope

• Isosceles and equilateral triangles

• Unit conversions

• Solving inequalities

• Parabolas

• Laws of logic and conditional statements

For college-bound students, our SAT and ACT Masterclasses are designed to significantly raise test scores and support acceptance into top universities.

At Alexander Tutoring, we treat math as the language of the universe—because it is. Unfortunately, many students are taught to memorize formulas without understanding their origins. This often leads to confusion and frustration, with students asking, “Why am I doing this?”

That’s where we step in.

We show students why each formula works. We help them derive it, understand it, and see how it fits into the bigger picture. When students engage with math at this deeper level, it sparks curiosity and builds long-term confidence.

We don’t just prepare students for tests—we give them math tools they’ll use for life.

Math courses at University of Colorado Denver, University of Denver, and Metropolitan State University of Denver can be academically rigorous and fast-paced. Many classes are large, making it hard to get personalized attention from professors or TAs. Missing even one key concept can quickly snowball into confusion and falling behind.

That’s where Alexander Tutoring steps in.

Our college-level tutors are specialists in:

• College Algebra

• College Geometry

• College Trigonometry

• Finite Math

• Statistics

• College Calculus

• College Physics

We work with students across a range of degree programs—from engineering and pre-med to business, economics, and computer science. Our team includes real-world physicists and mathematicians with advanced degrees and research backgrounds, who are not only masters of their craft but gifted teachers as well.

We also support students in competitive programs at Colorado School of Mines and CU Boulder who need to stay ahead in STEM-heavy coursework.

We know that many college students hesitate to admit when they’re struggling. That’s why our tutors foster a respectful, judgment-free environment. We break down complex material step-by-step, helping students develop clarity, confidence, and long-term mastery.

Our method is structured, thorough, and focused on more than just passing the next exam—it’s about building mathematical fluency for future academic and career success.

Many adults in Denver feel anxious about returning to math after years away from the classroom. Whether you're enrolling in a program at Community College of Denver, completing a degree at University of Denver, or preparing for a career shift into a STEM-related field—don’t worry. We’re here to help you rebuild your math confidence from the ground up.

At Alexander Tutoring, we specialize in working with adult learners. Whether you're brushing up on algebra or diving into more advanced subjects like calculus, statistics, or even physics, our tutors will create a customized plan tailored to your goals, schedule, and current skill level.

We’ve supported adult students aiming to:

• Return to college or finish a degree

• Meet prerequisites for nursing or engineering programs

• Prepare for graduate school entrance exams

• Transition into tech, data science, or finance careers

Our tutors are real-world mathematicians, scientists, and educators with deep expertise—and just as importantly, patience. We take the time to explain concepts clearly and encourage questions. There’s no rushing, no judgment, and no fluff—just honest, respectful support.

We treat our adult students with the same integrity and care we bring to every interaction. That nurturing environment builds confidence, reinforces discipline, and leads to real progress.

Whether you're tackling basic math or exploring advanced topics, we’ll help you master the material—and feel great doing it.
