"My name is Carolina, and I am currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Math at the University of Florida (UF). I specialize in tutoring mathematics, programming, and Spanish, drawing from both my academic training and practical experience. I am bilingual, with native fluency in English and Spanish and have proficiency in Portuguese, which allows me to effectively support students from diverse backgrounds and adapt explanations to their preferred language. My technical background includes extensive experience with programming languages like Python, C++, and JavaScript, as well as strong mathematical reasoning skills that I apply when teaching concepts step by step.

I also have meaningful teaching and mentoring experience working with students in many settings. As a First Year Florida Peer Leader at UF, I teach first-year students by leading interactive classes focused on academic success, campus resources, and personal development. This role has strengthened my ability to adjust my teaching style to different learning needs, clearly explain challenging material, and build confidence in students who may feel overwhelmed. I frequently work with students who are developing foundational skills, which closely aligns with tutoring in math, programming, and language learning.

My professional experience as a software engineering intern at Lockheed Martin and a consulting summer analyst at Accenture has further strengthened my ability to teach technical subjects in a clear and practical way. I regularly communicate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences, reinforcing my belief that effective tutoring is rooted in patience, clarity, and real-world examples. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their creativity, ask questions, gain confidence, and succeed independently." less...
