Math Tutor- 4th grade to College Level courses. Bilingual-Spanish

I am a patient and charismatic math tutor who will help you get through the toughest math problems. I'm certified as a Math Teacher from 4th grade to 12th grade in the state of Texas. I've taught math in this state for the past 7 years; 3 years in Middle School (Hornedo Middle School) and 4 years in High School (Chapin High School). Before I started teaching I was a math tutor at El Paso Community College for a year and a half and I also completed most of the coursework required for a degree in Electrical Engineering (which was 99% math).

I've been helping people figure out math problems since I was a freshman in high school and I haven't stopped since. My approach to tutoring is geared towards empowering the student and building knowledge and proficiency on every visit. I will find your strengths and use them to work on your weaknesses. As a tutor I am always looking to help you build confidence on your own ability. A student should never feel bad about seeking help from a tutor. On the contrary, it takes a strong individual to admit, "I can't do this alone, can you help me?".

I am fluent in both English and Spanish so I can tutor in both languages if necessary.

Algebra 1

This is the subject that I have the most experience in tutoring/teaching. Its also where people start having difficulties in math due to the use of letters and numbers in different combinations. You have to approach learning this type of math like learning a foreign language. Its also the foundation for the math courses to come; a strong math student must be strong in Algebra.

Algebra 2

This class, if you're taking it in high school, is almost a carbon copy of Algebra I. I've taught Algebra II for 3 years and I enjoy it thoroughly. You'll use concepts like: linear functions, quadratic functions and systems of equations just to name a few.

Geometry

This is another one of my favorites. This is the most visual of all the courses I teach/tutor. If you're a visual learner then geometry will come easier to you than the other math courses offered. There's a heavy dose of vocabulary in this course; you'll find yourself using and seeing terms that you haven't seen since grade school.

Microsoft Word

I've been using Microsoft Word since 1997 when I started college. I've used it to write technical reports, letter, presentations, make different types of charts, write my resume, prepare memos for faxing, and open attachments on e-mails amongst other uses. If you're a beginner or intermediate user and would like to brush up your Microsoft Word skills, I can help.

Prealgebra

This is a very important class that most students take later in Middle School. Algebra is a tough class and requires a lot of attention. Students complain that mixing letters with numbers is complicated. But if you approach it like learning a foreign language it makes a lot more sense. Let me help you learn about the basic building blocks of modern day math through this very exciting class.

Precalculus

I taught Precalculus at the high school level for 2 years. This course is a gateway to Calculus I and II. It contains trigonometry, logarithms, exponential functions and many of the concepts taught in algebra I and II. I can definitely help you get through this course one step at a time and through practice.

Spanish

I grew up in a Spanish speaking household since my parents spoke very little English. Reading and speaking in Spanish comes very easy to me. It was later in life that I learned how to write in Spanish. Knowing Spanish will open up more doors in your careers and will also help you meet more people as well as explore different lands.

Trigonometry

I've taught this course 2 years at a public high school by the name of Chapin High School. Its usually taught in conjunction with Precalculus. It definitely intimidates people just with its name-Trigonometry. Let me help you uncover the tricks I've learned throughout the years and help you become successful in Trig.

Statistics

Statistics is fascinating class. It teaches us how to use numbers to make important decisions. And the media loves to use them to influence our ability to choose the right product. I've taken Probability and Statistics during my Undergraduate work at the University of Texas at El Paso. I also took 2 classes in Stats which were required for my Bachelors in Psychology. Also, every class I've ever taught in my 8 years of teaching has had at least a month of Stats built into it.

GRE

My specialty is Math. As an Undergraduate in the school of Engineering, I've learned a lot of tricks and test taking strategies that I can teach you to be successful on this test. A lot of programs use this score to determine if they'll let you in their program so why not hire a tutor that can help you make the score and get the job done right the first time.

GED

A lot of employment opportunities open up when you have your GED. It does have Economics, Algebra I and II as well as some Geometry. I've taught Algebra I and II for 4 years and Geometry for 1 year. Let me help you review for the GED and take this important step in your life.

Elementary Math

Mathematics is very important in the formative years that include elementary school. This is where a lot of attitudes about math are obtained. Parents must be careful not to pass along a math phobia to their children. Gaining meaningful and positive experiences during these years can help build confidence for the math courses to come.

TAKS

The TAKS test is a state assessment and in most cases must be passed in order to receive your high school diploma. It has different parts including: science, english, social studies, writing, and math. For the past 7 years of teaching in middle school and high school in Texas, TAKS has been very much part of what I've taught. I can help you prepare through: test taking strategies, calculator techniques, and by correcting missconceptions.
