Frank: Skokie tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a senior student at North Carolina State University, majoring in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Materials Science and Engineering. Before that, I attended Central Carolina Community College where I obtained two associate degrees; these being associate in science and associate in engineering. I am originally from Honduras and came to this country a few years ago pursuing a better life. Even though what I am pursuing at the university is not directly related to teaching, I love tutoring/teaching. Ever since I was in high school I would tutor all of my friends in all of the subjects they were struggling with. As it turned out, I am good at tutoring so I kept doing it to help my friends; I came to the conclusion that I am good at it because all the people I have tutored have said so but mostly because I compared how they would perform when I tutored them vs when other people tutored them, and my students would always do better when I tutor them. This kind of made me feel like, if I am really good at it and can help people do good and learn, then, I should. I tutor a variety of subjects going from Spanish to subjects in the sciences, math, and engineering. I do not have a set teaching style; I think every person learns in a different way, so as a tutor I am always trying to be flexible to teach in a way that is easiest for my students to learn and understand the material.
