Andre: Rockville tutor

Certified Tutor

As a recent Boston University graduate holding a B.S. in Applied Mathematics with minors in Psychology and Computer Science, I have a passion for helping students build confidence and mastery in challenging subjects such as AP Calculus BC, probability and statistics, and organic chemistry. With more than two years of tutoring experience as both a peer tutor and teaching assistant, I've developed effective strategies tailored to diverse learning styles from guiding students through complex reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry to clarifying intricate calculus concepts through practical examples.

My teaching approach emphasizes patience, adaptability, and clear communication. I take pride in creating a comfortable and supportive learning environment where students are encouraged to ask questions and openly discuss areas of difficulty. The greatest reward for me is seeing students transition from confusion to confidence, such as one student who went from apprehension about organic chemistry to excelling on their exams.

Outside of tutoring, I stay engaged by exploring interdisciplinary topics bridging mathematics and psychology, experimenting with photography, and volunteering in educational community programs.
