We’ve supported students from top Oakland-area elementary schools like Head-Royce School, Redwood Day, and Aurora School, where families prioritize early academic support and long-term success in STEM subjects.

Many young learners develop math anxiety after a single discouraging experience—whether from a tough classroom moment, a school change, or a missed concept early on. That moment can turn into a belief that “I’m just not good at math.”

Our tutors change that narrative.

We match students with real physicists and mathematicians who break down foundational math into engaging, easy-to-understand lessons. We focus on:

• Addition & subtraction

• Multiplication & division

• Fractions

• Math fluency and confidence-building activities

Once students feel supported and successful, their mindset shifts—and so does their performance.

Students from rigorous middle schools like Head-Royce, The College Preparatory School (middle grades), and Oakland School for the Arts face increasing academic demands and rising expectations for high school readiness.

Grades 6–8 introduce critical concepts:

• Equations & variables

• Proportions & percent

• Rational numbers

• Data & statistics

• Introduction to functions and algebraic reasoning

We help students go beyond rote memorization to deeply understand what math is doing and why it works. By learning to derive formulas and think critically, students gain lasting mathematical insight and confidence—preparing them for the top high school math tracks.

Whether you're studying at UC Berkeley, Mills College, or Laney College, college math can be fast, dense, and overwhelming—especially in large lectures with limited support.

Our tutors specialize in:

• College Algebra

• Calculus I, II, III

• Linear Algebra

• Statistics

• Discrete Math

• Physics for STEM Majors

We support students across all disciplines—from engineering and economics to biology and pre-med—using a structured, step-by-step method that emphasizes comprehension over cramming.

With Alexander Tutoring, you won’t just survive your math class—you’ll understand it, retain it, and build the confidence to tackle more advanced material.

Whether you're returning to school, pivoting careers, or just trying to rebuild your confidence in math, we’re here to help.

We work with adults from across Oakland—whether they’re re-enrolling at Peralta Colleges, preparing for graduate programs, or entering high-demand fields like data analytics, coding, nursing, or finance.

Our adult learners rely on us for support in:

• College entrance exam prep (GRE, TEAS, etc.)

• Algebra & statistics for nursing/business programs

• Calculus & physics for STEM career shifts

• Brushing up for workplace advancement or personal growth

Our method is clear, respectful, and customized. We go at your pace—no jargon, no pressure, just honest, expert support to help you hit your goals.
