About Alpha Tutors

Teaching came first

Alpha Tutors has been tutoring students online since 2021. The study guides came later — they exist because of what we kept seeing while teaching.

At school level, we teach Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, History and Philosophy, with other subjects available depending on the student's needs and our team's expertise.

At university level, our tutoring becomes more specialized, covering selected subjects such as calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, numerical methods, probability and statistics, statics, dynamics, and related areas of mathematics, science and engineering.

We're a small team of subject specialists with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, computer science and the sciences. Our most senior tutor brings more than thirty years of classroom experience, including teaching in international school systems such as SABIS.

We teach entirely online, so students can work with the right tutor from the same place they already study, wherever they are.

How we teach

Students are often told what to learn without being shown why it matters. When a subject becomes a list of formulas, facts or steps to memorize for an exam, it's difficult to stay genuinely invested in learning it.

So we start with the idea underneath what the student is learning — what it means, why it matters, how it works and how it connects to everything else.

Once that understanding is there, there is far less to memorize. A student can reason through an unfamiliar problem or explain an idea instead of depending on remembering the exact example they saw before.

Exam technique comes next. Past papers, mock exams and marking schemes teach students how a particular exam asks questions, how answers should be presented and what earns marks. The curriculum and the exam still matter — they just become much easier to work with once the subject itself makes sense.

We've taught students following the Lebanese curriculum, IGCSE and A-Level, AP and others, as well as students preparing for Qudurat (GAT) and Tahsili (SAAT).

Grades matter — they can shape university choices and future opportunities. We believe the strongest foundation for those grades is understanding first.

Why the guides exist

After years of tutoring, you start seeing the same patterns: the same misread questions, the same recurring mistakes and the same method reached for at the wrong moment.

Our guides turn those patterns into something students can use independently — the rules and methods they need, paired with the wording and question patterns that help signal when to use them.

They aren't a replacement for teaching. They're what we'd hand a student between lessons.
