About
Math should be fun, but most of the time people say that they hate it. I help my students to see Math through new eyes to start liking it. I help them find different processes to solve a problem and check each step to look for their difficulties when they make errors.
I love solving Math problems and helping others to enjoy it too.

I have taken several courses and seminars including Cambridge training for checkpoint exams for Mathematics.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

How did you get started teaching?
I have always enjoyed helping my daughters or friends with their Math problems and found that teaching was a positive job for me
What types of students have you worked with?
I´ve worked with students from 10 to 16 years old from many different backgrounds, including those with English as a second language.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We didn´t know what size of bag to get for our trash can, so I asked my daughter to find the volume. She measured the can physically, then proceeded to give me the answer in order to find the right size at the store. I loved how we could apply math at home for a real life situation.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that you find a teacher that is attentive when you´re working together, helps you to find your mistakes, shows you how to double check your answers, and explains things in different ways so that you can understand the problem tho
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students need to think about where they get stuck, if it´s just the problem or the general topic.
