"My relationship with tutoring started when I was a computer science freshman. I realized I would understand the class material when I started to explain it to some of my peers.

"My relationship with tutoring started when I was a computer science freshman. I realized I would understand the class material when I started to explain it to some of my peers. This motivated me to organize and direct tutoring sessions after hours. At the same time I became a music teacher during the weekends. Teaching multiple topics, ranging from computer programming, math and music to young kids and adults helped me understand that for a student to learn, it has to do less with the complexity of the information and more with how it is delivered. Working with such a diverse group of students helped hone my communication skills and find a deep sense of satisfaction in making a difference in people's learning experience. Now years into my professional career I still find the time to mentor and teach at different nonprofits and private organizations.
I hold a MS in Computer Science from Purdue University, and a dual BS in Computer Science and Math from University of Puerto Rico. I'm a software engineer with more than 7 years of experience eager to help you understand concepts in areas like software design, algorithms, programming languages (C++, java, javascript, python, etc.), databases, and machine learning. As a math tutor I can teach elementary math, algebra, and probability. In my experience a good combination of hands-on example problems and case scenarios to support teacher's lectures is one of the best approaches that students respond to.
I have seen the impact teaching can have on students, and I hope I can continue sharing my knowledge and positively impact others' learning journey. I would not be where I am today without the benefits of tutoring. Feel free to reach out anytime, I will respond as soon as possible." less...
