About
My passion for teaching and tutoring started 50 years ago when I was 16, student of 11th grade in High School. I help students explaining the basics, building up self-confidence and leading them to succeed.
I have taught in Spain, USA, Italy and Romania at ALL levels of education from Elementary School to College.
Bachelor in Physics-Mathematics and Doctor (PhD), both validated in the USA by Global Credentials Evaluators (GCE)
Spanish-Superior, certified by ACTFL (USA), English (Interpreter-US Courts and for ABC News), Romanian (Graduated at University of Bucharest, Romania) and Italian from ICTP, Triste, Italy.

I enjoy supporting students to make progress in school and professional life. I use an interactive approach to evaluate progress done and find out how students use the acquired knowledge
