About Me

Tutoring can be hard for any struggling student . But that's not the way it has to be. I like to start my sessions in a stress free environment. I'd like for the student to see me as a mentor and friend, that way trust between us will lead to a favorable learning environment. Once this has been done, we will start by identifying strengths and deficiencies. This will enable us to create a strategy meant for success, coupled with a little humor here and there, some flashcards and relating the subject matter to everyday life, there's no way on earth that we won't achieve and even surpass the set goal. This is the reason I like to explain everything starting from the basic concepts up to the most complicated, because once the student has mastered the basics and all the information is understood and not just memorized, the rest will be as easy as pie. A little info about me, I've earned an MD degree and I'm currently working in cancer research at UTHSCSA, which fortunately for the students and myself, means my grasp on cellular biology, molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, anatomy and all basic medical sciences is right on point and as fresh as the nicest looking lettuce at a farmer's market. I'm also certified by the ECFMG, which means that I've passed all my basic and clinical science exams, this will allow me to apply for a medical residency in the US.Having studied and mastered the required subjects for my certification also means I have a firm grasp on biology and core science concepts. All my educational formation allows me to understand each student's situation, because I've honestly been there, sitting at the library staring into the book and then into oblivion because the information looks so complicated. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, with perseverance from both of us and a desire to advance, we can make it and excel. I'm also a native espaol speaker, which fortunately for me, means I can also help anyone with basic language skills and even the most complicated spanish classes, essay writing, literature and just plain learning to speak spanish. I look forward to working with anyone that's looking to learn and get ahead.
