Hello! I am a Chemical Engineer and educator with more than 20 years of experience teaching and working with students. I founded and directed a private school where I also taught mathematics and science, and education has been an important part of my professional life for many years. I tutor Chemistry, Math, Elementary Science, and Spanish. As a native Spanish speaker with a strong STEM background, I enjoy working with students of different ages and helping them develop both knowledge and confidence.

My approach to tutoring is patient, structured, and personalized. I first identify what the student understands and where the difficulty begins. Then I break the material into smaller steps, explain the concepts clearly, work through examples together, and gradually allow the student to solve problems independently. I believe students learn best when they understand the reasoning behind an answer instead of simply memorizing it. I also adapt my explanations and practice activities to each student’s learning style and pace.

My goal is not only to help students complete an assignment or prepare for a test, but also to strengthen the foundations that will help them continue learning successfully. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and trying again. Whether we are working on chemistry, mathematics, elementary science, or Spanish, I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students can make steady progress and become more confident learners.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and a strong academic background in chemistry, mathematics, and science. I also have more than 20 years of experience in education as a teacher and school director. Throughout my career, I have worked with students with different learning styles and have helped them understand challenging concepts by breaking them down into clear, manageable steps. I currently work with high school students in chemistry, including AP Chemistry topics. My tutoring approach focuses on understanding rather than memorization. I explain the concept first, work through examples step by step, and then guide the student through practice problems until they can solve them independently. I pay special attention to identifying where a student is getting confused and filling in any gaps in foundational knowledge. My goal is to help students improve their chemistry skills while also developing the confidence and problem-solving habits they need for homework, quizzes, exams, and future science courses.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I am a Chemical Engineer with more than 20 years of experience in education, including teaching mathematics and science and directing a private school. My engineering background gave me strong problem-solving skills, while my years in education taught me how important it is to explain mathematics in a way that is clear, patient, and appropriate for each student’s age and learning style. When working with elementary students, I focus on helping them build a strong foundation in numbers, arithmetic, fractions, decimals, word problems, measurement, and other essential math skills. I use simple explanations and step-by-step examples, and I encourage students to explain their thinking instead of simply memorizing procedures. I am patient and supportive, and I adjust the lesson when a student needs more practice or a different explanation. My goal is for students to understand what they are doing, become more confident with math, and gradually learn to solve problems independently.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and more than 20 years of experience in education as a teacher and school director. Science has been an important part of both my academic background and my teaching experience. I enjoy helping younger students understand the world around them and showing them that science can be interesting, logical, and connected to everyday life. In elementary science tutoring, I help students understand concepts by using clear explanations, examples, questions, and simple connections to real-life situations. I can support students with topics such as matter, energy, forces, ecosystems, Earth science, basic chemistry, and the scientific method. I also help with homework, vocabulary, study skills, and test preparation. I encourage students to ask questions and think about why something happens rather than simply memorize an answer. My goal is to build curiosity, understanding, and confidence while strengthening the foundation they will need for more advanced science courses.
Spanish

Spanish

I am a native Spanish speaker with many years of teaching experience. I have worked with students of different ages and learning levels, helping them build confidence and understand concepts clearly. I can support students with Spanish grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, pronunciation, and conversation. I adapt my lessons to each student's goals, pace, and learning style.
