IB Math and Physics Tutors for Students Aiming at a 7

We discovered Alexander Tutoring via a web search and decided to give it a try because of the rave reviews. We were not disappointed! Jonathan has been teaching our 2 kids Math and Physics and his teaching approach, patience and attentiveness has greatly improved their interest in and aptitude for the courses! Jonathan is always punctual. His patience with the children encourages them to ask questions and he diligently takes the time to explain. My wife and I were a bit concerned about the schedule of the classes, because of the time difference between Africa and the West Coast. However, Sean was flexible and committed to finding a time that worked for both parties. We are really delighted to have found Sean and his team!

Sean Alexander and his team are such kind, intelligent experts in their areas of mathematics and physics. At Gifted Support Center we have referred many families and they all report how much their children love working with their tutor/mentor. On a personal note, Albert was amazing in working with my son. I can't say enough praise for Sean and what he has created at Alexander Tutoring. Passionate individuals who truly love their field, and love teaching and inspiring children.

Jonathan is currently tutoring my son in eleventh-grade physics. Josiah has an A in Physics and more importantly, he feels he has a good grasp and confidence in the subject. Jonathan is patient and has a strong comprehension of physics. He's very adaptable and helpful when Josiah has a structured assignment or when they are practicing concepts. He is punctual for all their appointments and communicates before each meeting to make sure both parties are on the same page. Lastly, Jonathan is very respectful and always has a positive attitude.

My son, a chemistry major at Northeastern, has been tutored by Jonathan for about a year. When he met Jonathan, mid-semester, he was close to failing physics 2. He ended the semester with a B+! Now he is working with Jonathan on mastering physics 3. Jonathan helps him work through problems and provides a deep conceptual understanding. He is the key that has helped my son move from surviving to thriving!

Sean and his star teacher Jonathan are amazing. I was stuck in finding the right teacher to support my 7 years old son’s learning needs, who has unusual passion to quantum physics but only have poor primary school math knowledge. It’s almost mission impossible! But Jonathan did it! Can’t be happy more!

My daughter has been working with Jonathan from Alexander tutor. She's being tutored with AP Physics, and Jonathan has been such a great instructor. He has the best way in helping my daughters. He's very patient, very kind, very encouraging and always goes the extra mile to help my daughter. I have seen how she looks forward to tutoring with Jonathan and how her stress level has gone down towards the end of her 1st Junior semester! We are so appreciative for Alexander tutoring services. And so excited that my daughter was paired with such beautiful, compassionate and understanding human being, Mr. Jonathan! Thank you, Alexander Tutoring! Erica (0/21/2020)

Set your kids up for success...the best advice one of my friends gave me was to start my son with Alexander Tutoring before he started his freshman year at an independent high school. My son was a progressive middle school and I was not really sure how he would fare with Physics and Algebra. Alexander tutoring was amazing in that Sean assured me that my timing was just right at the beginning of the school year and we engaged with Felix (my son's tutor) right away. My son and Felix meet on a weekly basis and even though..or more accurately because my son is getting As in both Physics and Math, we are keeping the tutoring going!

Sean and his team are great. I work at a school and have referred many students to him for math and physics, and sometimes for other sciences. He is a wonderful tutor, great with kids, willing to coordinate directly with teachers for maximum efficacy. Highest rating!

Alexander Tutoring is excellent. My daughter attends a very rigorous high school in SF and has worked with Tyler to solve problems in Physics, Chemistry and Algebra 2. He explains tough concepts through relatable and fun examples and she truly looks forward to their weekly sessions. He has also been flexible when other commitments required a time change or when she needed additional help before a test.

My daughter is a senior at high school and is doing honors Physics. She wants to enroll for the AP physics tests as well. During her classes at high school she was struggling with the physics,so we decided to ask Sean for help. Our daughter said that Sean can explain it very well and she was so relieved that she can understood much better the theory. It gave her a big push for her self esteem and that she will not fail in her honors class physics. Highly recommend Sean!

Sean worked with my son during the later half of the year for my son's 12th grade AP Physics C course. The course was very difficult, but Sean was able to explain things in ways that made sense to my son, and my son also enjoyed working with him and really felt he "clicked" as far as understanding him personally. My son further said that Sean was a "cool guy who made the tutoring sessions enjoyable" for what was a really tough class. Based upon my son's experience, I would highly recommend Sean to anyone needing a Physics tutor!

After SF public schools ended their honors math programs I was looking for a way for my 8th grader to qualify for high school honors Math. I am happy to report that Tyler at Alexander Math and Physics tutoring helped my son to test into Algebra 2 honors! His math grade in school went up to an A. Then when we told him he could stop tutoring with Tyler he didn't want to stop tutoring because he enjoyed what he was learning. Wow! My older son is now preparing for the Physics and Math subject tests and Alexander Tutoring is where we are going. I am so thankful to have advanced Math and Physics help for my kids.

This is the Cadillac (or Tesla? Bentley?) of math/science tutors! Tyler helped my child survive AP Physics with a really poor high school teacher. Tyler taught underlying concepts, reinforced necessary Calc lessons, and diagnosed roadblocks before they became problems. He worked with a complicated schedule and was flexible. More importantly - when there were critical tests or problems, Sean and Tyler jumped in and did whatever was necessary to provide emergency Physics triage! As a result: our child learned that hard work, a tough attitude and commitment can get you through ( while several classmates blame the teacher and complain constantly.) And she loves them so much she declined summer vacation so she could spend the month before college starts reviewing Calc and learning to code. They are worth everything.

Throughout my high school career, I haven't had a better tutor than the one I worked with through Alexander Tutoring. Physics has always been a difficult subject for me, but thanks to my tutor, Tyler McGoffin, it became very accessible. Tyler explained abstract concepts in simple terms, grounding them in the real world and enabling me to understand them. Tyler and I bonded very closely during our time together, and I came to see him not only as a tutor but as a friend. Alexander Tutoring provides fantastic services, and I know that anyone else who works with Tyler will be as happy as I am.

My high school son has been working with Olivia at Alexander Math & Physics Tutoring for about 7 months and it has been nothing less than phenomenal! My son's confidence in Math as well as his grades have drastically improved and we could not be happier!! Also, Sean and Olivia have both been incredibly flexible in their attempts to accommodate our busy schedules. We are very grateful to have discovered Alexander Math & Physics Tutoring!

Sean has been a great tutor for my daughter in both physics and math. I was really worried about my daughter tackling pre-calculus this year but Sean could always explain any new material in a way that she could understand and she ended up doing very well. I really liked how after each session Sean would email me and let me know how things were going.

This is the first time I've posted a Yelp review, and I hope it is not to our detriment as the word spreads! I have only good things to say about Alexander Tutoring for physics support. Sean Alexander, the founder (also a tutor), has two incredibly talented physics tutors, Olivia and Tyler. They are the BEST, making tough physics concepts comprehensible. Sean is personable, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling. He is also kind, fair, and generous. When Olivia ran just a few minutes late for the first session, Sean took 10 minutes off the hour; and when I asked if he had a referral program, he gave us a free session for referring a friend whose son is now benefiting from weekly physics sessions. He is open to feedback and sincerely wants to help. A rare breed.

My daughter took an intensive high school Physics course this summer and had to miss a few days of instruction due to a family commitment. She was so worried about falling behind in her course - but with the help of Alexander Tutoring and, specifically, Tyler, she had nothing to worry about. The owner of Alexander Tutoring, Sean, was so helpful in getting my daughter squared away with tutoring sessions even though we called him fairly last minute. And the tutor my daughter was assigned to, Tyler, was wonderful. He and my daughter had three sessions and she was right back on track in her course. She really enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with Physics.

Desperate for some help with a challenging 9th grade physics class, we turned to Alexander Tutoring. Sean was very responsive and got my son set up right away with Tyler, tutor extraordinaire. Tyler is down to earth, extremely intelligent and was able to connect with my son on his level and make physics seem less daunting. It was worth the time and investment to turn things around and most importantly, give my son the confidence that he needed to face the challenge. Thank you, Alexander Tutoring! We'll definitely be back to take advantage of other programs they offer (like the SAT Master Class.)

Hands down, Alexander Tutoring is the best in the Bay Area. After trying other highly rated tutors with no success, we were relieved to find Alexander Tutoring. The director, Sean, spoke with me at length to assess my son's needs and pair him with the right tutor. He even met with my son's teacher to better understand his needs. My son was paired with Tyler and from the first meeting his interest and ability in math and physics have steadily improved. My son even took The coding course over the summer and is well on his way to designing his own game. I cannot recommend Alexander Tutoring highly enough.
