Math and Physics Tutors Who Know Austin Schools
Your student isn’t “bad at math” — one bad experience convinced them they were. Our specialty is rewriting that narrative into one of confidence, wonder, and joy.

Everything changes when math empowers students
It’s not tutoring. It’s becoming. Behind every “I’m bad at math” is a student who stopped believing they could figure it out. That belief is the real problem — and it’s the one we solve.

The Alexander Difference
Passion + Purpose = Empowered
When math serves your student’s passion, it has purpose. When it has purpose, something remarkable happens — they become empowered to use education to achieve their dreams.
Personalized Matching = Student Passion
We start by learning what lights your student up — music, sports, art, science, anything. Then we match them with a tutor who shares that passion and shows them how math is the hidden engine behind the things they already love. When math serves something they care about, it stops being a chore.
“Once he found out that my daughter loves soccer, he added a lot of soccer themes to his teaching — angles, corners, distance. She was more than happy to continue with Sam as her tutor.”
— Mihir M., Parent (Google)
Deep Understanding = Purpose
Most students survive math by memorizing formulas — until one curveball on the test sinks them. We teach the why behind every equation, deriving formulas and connecting them to the real world. When your student truly understands the math, they can solve anything a teacher throws at them.
“After the first session he came home and could not stop talking about Physics. Last week he came home from class literally jumping up and down — he’d been able to explain a process as one of the only ones because Tyler had explained it to him the day before.”
— Yasmin D., Parent (Google)
Confidence First = Empowers Students
There’s no such thing as being ‘bad at math’ — only bad math experiences. A harsh teacher, embarrassment in class, one bad test — and suddenly your student decides they can’t do it. We rewrite that story. With a supportive tutor who believes in them, ‘I can’t’ becomes ‘I’ve got this.’
“Krishann has improved my daughter’s math skills, but more than that, she’s improved how my daughter feels about math — and that translates to how she feels about herself as a learner. If they had their own school, we would enroll full time.”
— Susan C., Parent (Google)
This is what happens when everything changes.
“It’s such a relief to know that my kids are going to be able to advance in math and science in ways that I personally can’t help them.”
Everything changed for these families.
Jonathan has been a fantastic math tutor for my daughter during her sophomore year. His calm approach has helped her build confidence in the subject that she once found intimidating. She started the math class without any tutoring, however, she quickly realized that she needed more help and a tutor who could bring her grades up. Being a straight A student, it was difficult to accept her lower grades and it affected her confidence. We heard about Alexander tutoring and thought to give it a try. It was easy to connect with the staff at Alexander tutoring, they were able to match the perfect tutor for my daughter and within two sessions, my daughter felt more confident in Algebra, her test scores improved and she was looking forward to the one hour tutoring sessions with Jonathan. He understands his students and explains concepts in a manner tailored to each student. He is incredibly patient and provided tips on understanding some of the difficult concepts. My daughter had not only improved her grades but also developed a genuine interest in math thanks to Jonathan’s support. We are so grateful to Alexander tutoring team for helping my daughter gain her confidence and helping her score higher grades(D to B+). I highly recommend Jonathan to any family looking for a thoughtful and a very effective tutor.
Caleb has done a great job helping my daughter break down key concepts in her precalc honors class. We especially appreciate the holistic approach, helping her understand the big picture so she can approach classes and exams with more confidence and more interest.
Gerald is a fantastic Tudor! He is down to earth and really connects with my son. He has the gift that only great teachers do to keep kids engaged and entertained without forcing things. Thank you Gerald, we appreciate you!
Alexander Tutoring has made a huge improvement in my 10-year old daughter's attitude toward math over the past school year. Our instructor, Sam, has a gift for explaining math concepts in a way she could understand and relate to. He could read her mood and adapt the session in response. Over time she went from not particularly wanting to participate to actively looking forward to the lesson. I saw great strides in her math confidence and ability, and look forward to resuming the tutoring in the upcoming school year.
Alexander Tutoring (AT) is a premium, high-end, math and physics tutoring service. We are extremely grateful to Sean Alexander and the AT staff for helping our de-motivated 16 year old son reverse his declining pre-calculus grade during the COVID-19 pandemic. AT was able to help our son improve by a full letter grade in just four weeks, and was worth every penny we invested in the process. The AT staff is very professional, high energy, friendly, and adaptable. We are delighted to be working with them to help our family continue to develop math and physics acumen. A+ service!
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!
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.
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.
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.)
Can't say ENOUGH about Sean! He instantly scrambled after receiving a panicked voice mail from semi hysterical mom on a Friday afternoon and a final project due on Monday! We had never worked with him before, so we were total strangers to him. Sensing the urgency he went all out in light speed mode and provided a tutor by nightfall! Keep in mind he was in late afternoon commute traffic when he received the call. His efforts truly saved the day and the individual who did the actual tutoring was nothing less than stellar. From my point of view as a parent, I will never forget the compassion and concern he demonstrated and how I and my student/child felt supported and saved frankly. A lot rode on this project, graduation...college acceptance...he acted like he was part of the team and it was a bright spot in a very stressful time.
What can I say about Sean that has not already been shared here...HE SIMPLY ROCKS! He worked with our daughter (11th grade) and helped her to find confidence in a subject that is literally like learning another language for her. He met her where she was and encouraged her to push herself and did it all with humor and patience. And the results were terrific both in her approach to math and her grades. Sean was always accommodating and quick to offer additional sessions (Skype, home office) during crunch time. And as other reviewers have stated, it was never a push to get our daughter to meet with Sean, in fact she looked forward to her weekly sessions with him because he had the ability to simplify and break things down for her in a way that made sense to her. Sean is a gifted educator and a super nice guy!
My kids have historically not struggled with math but this year both (7th and 12th grade) hit a wall due to issues with teachers (teaching the subject for the first time) and concepts not being explained very clearly in class. I wasn’t sure where to turn to for help outside of school and was so relieved to find Alexander Tutoring! Not only was the team great to work with to match with a tutor and schedule a regular meeting day, and explaining everything very clearly along the way, but the tutors themselves have been fantastic. If you have teenagers then you’ll know how hard it is to get them to actually like working with an adult in school subjects, as in stay engaged and respect them. Both of my kids give a solid thumbs up and have gained a great sense of confidence for each of their math classes. And my son (12th grader) really appreciates the office hours and benefits greatly from working with Alexander tutors. We are considering adding on Physics tutoring as well to really deliver an edge in class for my son, and my daughter (7th grader) is now focused on getting ahead with Algebra 1! Thank you Alexander Tutoring!
Jonathan has been tutoring my kids for 3 years now getting both of them through very tough college math and science curriculum. They always feel well prepared to tackle exams leading to solid A’s in class.
My daughter was struggling with math classes during remote learning last year and we started with Alexander Tutoring. They were invested in finding a tutor she liked and we tried two (she said they both seemed good). Although my daughter is not enthusiastic about math yet she did improve her grade and received an A in Geometry for spring semester which was a happy surprise for her and helped build her confidence.
My daughter was having a difficult time in honors physics and her work with the tutor we found through Alexander Tutoring helped her to bring her grade up by a full letter grade! The tutor she used was professional and extremely well qualified.
My son has benefitted tremendously from math tutoring with Alexander Tutoring! Their tutors helped him improve his math grade and prepared him for his calculus class over the summer. Highly recommend!
Alexander Tutoring is excellent. We are grateful for Sean, for helping our child truly understand and enjoy math, rather than experience it as something daunting. His positive support and genuine effort to make sure that the material is understood has helped our child with establishing a strong mathematical foundation. In addition to mastering material for the current grade, Sean looks ahead and begins working on material that likely will be introduced in the fall. Overall, this experience has helped our child to become more confident about math and has further strengthened a love of learning. What a gift. Would highly recommend Alexander Tutoring.
My daughter blossomed! Knowledge and confidence way up! Thank you Alexander and team! Definitely recommend for all your kid' tutoring needs.
How it Works
Getting started is simple.
Getting support is simple and risk-free. We focus on understanding your student first, then building confidence and momentum step by step.
- No credit card required

The #1 factor in your student’s success isn’t the curriculum — it’s the chemistry. We match based on personality, passions, and learning style. Not the right fit? Try another session at no cost. You get as many trials as it takes. You’ll know when it clicks — you’ll see the fire in their eyes.
3. Watch Everything Change
Your student gets weekly one-on-one mentoring plus nightly office hours for homework help — all backed by our Full Semester Guarantee. No contract. Cancel anytime. Confidence builds. Grades follow.
The Austin schools we know inside out
High school
Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) · Westlake High School · St. Stephen’s Episcopal School · Anderson High School
Middle school
O. Henry Middle School · Kealing Middle School
Elementary

Most tutoring gets a student through Friday’s test. That’s not what we’re for.
Your student learns where every formula comes from — so a problem they’ve never seen stops being a threat. They stop asking whether something will be on the test and start asking why it works.
What makes your math and physics tutors different?
Your student works with a practicing mathematician, physicist, or engineer — someone who uses this material professionally, not a college student a chapter ahead in the textbook. We recruit nationally because that’s the only way to find them.
What that means in practice:
- Tutors with graduate-level training and professional research experience
- A derivation-first method — nothing gets memorized that could be understood instead
- Nightly office hours, so homework help doesn’t wait for the next session
- More than 15 years of one-on-one tutoring, with 270+ reviews across Google and Yelp
- First-time A’s in Calculus and 700+ SAT Math scores
Our work in the Austin area spans schools including the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA), Westlake High School, St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, Anderson High School, UT Austin, Texas State and Austin Community College.
Every session is one-on-one and online, which is why it doesn’t matter where you are. We match on subject, personality and interest rather than zip code. If the fit isn’t right, you get another match at no cost, as many times as it takes.
How do you match a student with the right tutor?
Nobody’s first session is really about math. It’s about finding out whether this person is going to make them feel stupid again.
Our tutors are matched on personality and interest before subject — a physicist who races bikes, a mathematician who plays in a band. When the match is right, a student stops bracing and starts asking questions. That’s the moment the tutoring actually begins.
If it isn’t right, you get another match at no cost, as many times as it takes. About 80% of our students click on the first try, 95% by the second.
