"Hi, I'm Armando! I graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in Spanish and Public Policy. My formal education in Spanish allows me to offer expert instruction in language skills, from vocabulary and grammar to conversational fluency, while my passion for math equips me to teach core concepts like number sense, operations, fractions, and problem-solving.

I have several years of experience tutoring elementary students both one-on-one and in small groups. I have worked with learners aged 6 to 12, including bilingual students and those in dual-language programs. My approach is highly personalized; I begin by assessing each student's current skill level and learning style, then tailor lessons to build foundational understanding and confidence. I use a mix of clear explanations, visual aids, interactive exercises, and real-world examples to make abstract concepts accessible and engaging.

Beyond academics, I focus on fostering a positive and supportive learning environment. I encourage curiosity and persistence, helping students overcome challenges with patience and encouragement. My bilingual background also allows me to bridge language gaps, making me an effective tutor for Spanish-speaking students or those learning Spanish as a second language.

Whether in formal classroom settings, volunteer tutoring, or private sessions, my goal is always to inspire a love of learning and to help students reach their full potential." less...
