Founder and Main Tutor
Gruson Academic Group was founded by Alex Gruson, a physicist and aerospace engineer with over 15 years of experience tutoring high school through college-level math and physics.
Alex earned her B.S. in Physics from UC Davis and her M.S. in Physics from Cal State Fullerton, graduating with academic honors. Her background includes astrophysics research at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and graduate research connected to LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory). She also taught university-level courses for two years and previously served as the Director of Operations for a mathematics tutoring company, giving her deep experience in both instruction and educational leadership.
Alex built Gruson Academic Group around one core belief: there’s no such thing as a “math person.” With the right approach and the right teacher, students can gain real understanding, confidence, and independence. Her mission is to connect families with tutors who combine advanced subject expertise with exceptional teaching ability—a rare combination that makes a measurable difference.
