I have recently graduated from St. Matthew's University as a Doctor of Medicine and am currently waiting to enter the 2023 Match Cycle for Residency. I have made my career by studying hard, going to school and overcoming my academic weaknesses. But I wasn't always this strong in academics and I have even needed my fair share of tutors in the past.I struggled with math for a very long time and I worked with many tutors to try and improve. It wasn't until one of my tutors pointed out that my hand writing was too small and my work was sloppily written. By just working on my hand writing and organization I improved significantly in math.I realized that my problem wasn't necessarily understanding the material. There was something else in the way causing me to perform poorly. I gained the ability to identify the barriers to my own learning and appropriately overcome the challenge, resulting in the academic success I enjoy today.When I tutor students, my ultimate goal is not only to help them improve their academics, but also teach them the organizational and study skills they need to identify their barriers and rise to their academic potential.

I am currently a senior at Florida International University and will be graduating this fall with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I plan on attending graduate school next year to receive a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology. Prior to becoming a psychology major, I was studying chemistry and used to be a tutor for this program that was available to students taking Introductory Chemistry at FIU. I am passionate about tutoring because I love seeing students understand material that they previously could not. Growing up, I never really enjoyed science until I reached high school. My biology teacher was the first person who I was actually able to learn from and having that experience, genuinely understanding the material from what was my weakest subject, completely changed how I felt about school. Academic success can lead to many opportunities and a bright future. I hope I can help students achieve their goals and feel that they are capable of succeeding in school!

I am a graduate of Florida International University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on HVAC. In high school, I was part of Mu Alpha Theta and tutored students in almost all subjects of Math on a weekly basis. During my years in college, I worked as a Learning Assistant with the math department at FIU, tutoring and helping student in College Algebra, Calculus I and Calculus 2. I served as an assistant to the Math teachers to help protector tests, grade homework/classwork, and held group study sessions outside of class with groups of students. Privately, I have also offered my tutoring services to a countless number of people in subjects from College algebra to Calculus III and have always had positive outcomes. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Physics, and Chemistry.In my opinion, teaching is a very rewarding for both the student and the teacher. Teaching, in some ways, is an art that requires a unique approach to each unique student. When i have a new student, I start by learning about the student first before I teach them. I do not use the same application or method of teaching for everyone. I need to know where the student is coming from, what their attitude is toward a subject, and what are their strengths/weakness. With this, I develop a schematic method of teaching for the student to most effectively adhere to his/her needs.

Ever since I was in middle school, I wanted to be a teacher. I was inspired by my science teacher, who always had a way to make us laugh while teaching science. I got my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from FIU. I have taught in private and public schools for 7 years. I won Rookie Teacher of the Year once. I have high recommendations from my previous principals from the different schools which I have worked in. I recently took a break from teaching in the public schools in order to spend more time with my kids, as they are heavily involved in sports and other school and church related activities. I also wanted time to pursue other personal goals in my life. Last school year, I started offering private tutoring at a public library. I love the flexibility from private tutoring. I have several students who I tutor during the week. I have experience tutoring kids of different ages. I myself have two children, one who is 8 and the other one who is 16 years old. I have taught grades K-6th. I love all subjects, but my favorites are reading, writing, and math.I have my own resources, but if your child already has his or her own materials, I can work with that, too. I'm very flexible in my strategies and always give feedback to the parents after the tutoring sessions. My ideal parent-tutor-student relationship would be to work with a student for a minimum of 3 months, so that I may enjoy seeing the student's growth. I never like leave a tutoring session without a feeling of accomplishment. I consider myself an excellent teacher.

Current Undergrad, Biological Sciences Florida International University
1+ Years Tutoring

I have earned Bachelor of Science degrees in both Biological Sciences and Nursing. As a learner, I have always had an inclination toward math and science. I was introduced to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme when I was in middle school and I took higher level courses from then until the culmination of high school, at which point I received the IB diploma. I have a very strong academic background, despite the fact that I was always a learner who needed plenty of time and effort for things to sink in. Whenever I had trouble with concepts, particularly in the often challenging subjects of math and science, I wouldn't be open about it with my teachers, usually because of the simple fact that I didn't feel comfortable seeking help. For this reason, what's most important to me as a tutor is that any student I'm helping is comfortable enough to have open communication with me about their concerns and sources of confusion. I also find it very useful (and even necessary at times) to break things down to the very basics, in order to build understanding on a secure foundation. I genuinely love to help people understand whatever is in my power to help them understand, and so it comes naturally to me to take the knowledge I struggled to gain and help someone else along their own path towards understanding.
