About
Quick Tutors was established to help students with learning disabilities get help in sciences, math, and engineering. Since 2014, I have been tutoring students one-on-one, designing assessments to fit their needs and accomplish their goals. I am currently a PhD student studying chemical and biological engineering, focused on plastics processing. I have a bachelors in chemical engineering and a second bachelors in industrial biotechnology from the UPR-Mayaguez. Feel free to ask me about my services!
My partner Leonardo Gonzalez is specialized in math tutoring. He is a PhD student working on Machine Learning algorithms.
We are both fluent in English and Spanish.

I get enjoyment around seeing my students asking questions, accomplishing their goals, and being happy with their progress. Nothing is better than seeing a student overcome a difficult barrier.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, my preferred method is to assess their understanding of the material through testing and dialogue. Example problems are given to allow the student to formulate doubts and ask questions, so that I may identify problem areas and proceed to establish the necessary tools to overcome those problems.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 5 years of experiende tutoring undergraduate college students and 1 year of experience as a high school instructor in Life Sciences. I have taken various seminars and courses in educational philosophy to supplement teaching techniques.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Lesson pricings usually vary between 25 and 35 dollars per hour. The price depends on the course level (High School and below are 25 dollars, while Undergraduate tutoring is 35 dollars).
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching as a paid tutor at my undergraduate university and decided to take education courses to help foster techniques that would allow me to help tackle students' needs during tutoring.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When looking to hire a teacher or tutor, focus on your needs as a student, their dedication to your learning, their capacity to dedicate time to your needs, and their ability to reduce problems and guide your way of thinking.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
One should ask themselves, what am I having problems on? What is stopping me from understanding this material? Is there a fundamental piece of information that I am missing or do I not have the tools necessary to critically tackle the problem?
