"Hello! My name is Gabriel, and I’m from Puerto Rico. I am a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and I hold a Master’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering with a Minor in Project Management. My academic training gave me a strong background in mathematics, technical communication, and analytical problem-solving, which I now enjoy sharing with students.

My teaching experience began through a university outreach program, where I designed and led university-level math and engineering workshops tailored for high school students. I worked with groups of 10-20 students at a time, focusing on topics such as Precalculus and Industrial Engineering concepts. Later, I also tutored my university classmates one-on-one in Calculus, which strengthened my ability to explain challenging material in clear, simple steps. These experiences taught me how to adjust to different learning paces, whether helping a high school student prepare for an exam or guiding a peer through advanced coursework.

As a tutor, I adapt my methods to the subject and the student. In math, I emphasize building a strong foundation, practicing problem-solving strategies, and connecting new concepts to familiar ones so they “stick.” In language learning (Spanish and English), I combine grammar and vocabulary practice with conversational exercises and cultural insights, so students can confidently use the language in real-world situations. I’ve worked with both teens and adults, and my goal is always the same: to create a supportive and encouraging environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and improving at your own pace.

Whether you’re aiming for higher grades in Math class or working toward fluency in Spanish or English, I’d love to help you reach your goals step by step. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d be happy to create a personalized learning plan for you." less...
