Teacher Alex Kim (Online)

Alex is from Los Angeles, California. He is currently in Grinnell, IA and has felt a big rift in his life recently. With the structural shakiness imposed by COVID, he has lost access to outlets where he can teach and help others learn. He wants to make sure he can make learning more easily accessible and manageable for people of all ages, backgrounds, and learning styles.

He began teaching in formal settings in the 5th grade as a Math tutor for West Los Angeles City College. He taught up to Pre-Calculus and taught students that were between the ages of 16 and 65. Alex loves teaching. It makes him feel like he is finding a way in his life to help the people around him. He has been teaching ever since, at all of the schools and any other outlets he could find, in order to spread his love of learning and to interact with others. He loves spending time with children, as well as adults. He finds that every person has a unique experience and story that he can learn from.

Please feel free to contact Alex at (213)298-7038 or at kimalex@grinnell.edu (personal: alexanderjoohyunkim@gmail.com). He is on campus at Grinnell College currently and is available for any questions you may have, even academic ones if you want to get a sense for whether or not his teaching style is the right one for you!

Alex is also a certified concert violinist with experience performing at multiple halls with numerous orchestras, including performances and invitations to play at Carnegie Hall. He also feels comfortable and confident in most all academic endeavors. Most importantly, however, he loves people and wants to help you in any way that he can.
