Maak kennis met Alicia

I completed my honors bachelor’s degree at Williams College, the top liberal arts school in the USA, majoring in Mathematics and Astrophysics with a minor in French, and graduating Magna Cum Laude. I then received a prestigious scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, where I graduated with Merit. I am currently a second-year student finishing my master’s in Neuroscience at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, as part of my Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree in Neuroscience (Neurasmus), where I completed the first year of the program at the University of Bordeaux.

I bring extensive tutoring experience as a teaching assistant and peer tutor in Mathematics (including courses such as Probability, Multivariable Calculus, and Real Analysis), Astronomy (as a telescope and observational assistant), French, and Spanish. I’ve also tutored for the Advanced Math Academy at the Pedagogic University of Honduras, helping students prepare for national and international math competitions. Beyond this, I have mentored an undergraduate math research group and supported students in the college application process. I also have extensive research experience in the fields of mathematics, astrophysics, and neuroscience.

I am passionate about education and believe curiosity is key to meaningful learning. I aim not only to help my students grasp concepts but also to inspire them to be curious about the subjects they study, so they may uncover the beauty within knowledge. As a patient and empathetic tutor, I communicate well with both students and parents, creating a supportive learning environment.

In my free time, I enjoy singing, playing volleyball, reading, traveling, music, learning new languages, and playing board games.
