I am convinced that everyone has the potential to succeed, and that my job as a tutor is to identify each student's strengths and abilities and teach them in the way that better fits their mindset.

I really enjoy watching the kids feel better about themselves when they realize they are smart. Finding the right strategy to learn can totally make a difference in the way kids regard their experience at school.

I have never been good at math before but after being here, I was able to understand concepts much easier because of how simple the explanations were. They take their time to make sure you really understand the whole concept and not just the problem itself. I’d highly recommend people to come to Creative Math Tutoring whether they feel that they struggle with math or don’t and just want to get better.

The tutor presented the topics and problems in a very clear and easy to understand manner. The explanations and guidance for solving the problems were very helpful. I was also encouraged to ask questions throughout the lessons, which helped me understand certain concepts better. Highly recommended.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First session is free and is where I usually learn about the student's needs. Based on that information I develop a custom plan which serves as a roadmap for our future tutoring sessions.
La primera sesión es gratis y es cuando usualmente identifico las necesidades de cada estudiante. Con base en dicha información elaboro un plan de trabajo individualizado que servirá como hoja de ruta para nuestras futuras sesiones.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in Economics so I am really strong in Math and Statistics.
Estudié Economía por lo que tengo muy buen nivel de Matemáticas y Estadística.
How did you get started teaching?
My first experience teaching was when I was 15 years old and was asked to help a 10 year old cousin that was struggling with school. He was totally failing Math and his mom was not optimistic about him passing the school year. So, basically my goal was to explain everything he didn't understand up to that date, and prepare him for the final exam. It was a real challenge because he hated Math and the year round experience didn't help. I had to find creative strategies!! In the end he passed and his mom adored my for life! Since then, I love to tackle challenging cases.
Mi primera experiencia enseñando fue con un primo de 10 años que iba a reprobar la materia de Matemáticas. Mi tía me pidió que lo ayudara porque no creía que fuera a pasar el año escolar. Mi tarea era ponerlo al corriente y ayudarlo en el examen final para que pudiera pasar la materia. El odiaba las Matemáticas y tuve que pensar en estrategias creativas para que pudiera entender los conceptos. Finalmente pasó la materia y mi tía me amó por el resto de sus días. Desde entonces me encantan este tipo de retos!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of students but I specialize in special kids which struggle with math. I love to work with them because I totally understand the way they feel.
He trabajado con todo tipo de estudaintes pero me especializo en niños que tienen problemas con Matemáticas. Me encanta trabajar con ellos porque tntiendo perfectamente bien la forma en la que se sienten.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find a teacher that makes you feel comfortable and that understands the way you analyse and process things. It is useless to get a super smart teacher if she is not able to help you.
Encuentra auna maestra con la que te sientas cómodo y que entienda la forma en la que tú analizas y procesas las cosas. Es una pérdida de tiempo contratar a alguien super inteligente si no es capaz de transmitir ese conocmiento.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would say: 1) the subject you are struggling with, 2) how do you usually work on that subject (doing summaries, completing exercises, reading, analyzing and synthesising 3) what do you really need help with (concepts, study methology or strategies to process information)
Yo diría: 1) la materia en la que estás teniendo problemas, 2) cómo trabajas usualmente en dicha materia (haciendo resumenes, haciendo ejercicios, leyendo, analizando y sintetizando, etc.) 3) en qué necesitas ayuda (entender conceptos, metodología para estudiar o estrategias para procesar la información)
