Tutoring math is a no-brainer for me because it allows me to combine my two passions: math and helping people. Many people say that they aren't a "math person" but I would argue that's...

...learn about a lot of things! I have just returned from taking a group of students on a scientific expedition on the high seas through 11 countries. I really enjoy teaching and working with students, as well as learning new things. I grew up in South America wandering ancient Inca ruins and the Andes and speak Spanish and English fluently.

...4 year olds to increasing reading speed and comprehension for high school students and professional adults. I was hooked on teaching by then, so I earned my TEFL certificate and taught ESL in Prague, Czech Republic for 1.5 years.

As a chemical engineer, my favorite subjects are math and chemistry. I am very comfortable with mathematics up through calculus 1, including algebra...
