"After 25+ years in the corporate world, I decided to pursue my passion for math and teaching by working with students who need help understanding the basic concepts of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and other common math topics.

I am an Industrial Engineer and an MBA, so I've always been comfortable with numbers and logical thinking (I scored 98% in the GMAT math section).

My experience in teaching comes not from a traditional education background but from the corporate world. One of my most important tasks was to give presentations that required me to distill and simplify elaborate concepts, and to keep my audience engaged. I am now using those same skills in my math tutoring sessions.

I firmly believe that math is not difficult: it is just poorly taught. During my tutoring sessions I make sure that my students master the basics first. I also use examples to make the concepts less abstract and easier to understand. My goal is to help my students overcome their fear of math, enjoy the learning process, and do well in class and tests.

I am also fully bilingual (English and Spanish) and can deliver my lessons in either language.

Aside from tutoring, I love computer programming, birding, traveling and watching soccer." less...
