Hello! My name is Miguel. I have extensive experience in educational system with K-12, at-risk, court-appointed, international, and visually-impaired students.

...I've also helped my brothers and friends of those brothers with their math difficulties. I'm always bothered when I meet someone who claims to be bad at math because there often seems to have been a singular experience early in that person's education which robbed him or her of the necessary confidence to really feel comfortable with the subject. Because math at its core is quite rigorous, losing heart early can lead to a snowball...

...of California San Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish.

I believe that there are many different ways to learn a concept,...
