About Sergio

Bio

With over 10 years as a Mechanical Engineer in the high-tech industry I put my job aside to pursue my passion. In 2013 I obtained a Math degree (Dean's list) and a Secondary Math Teaching License. As an older student I gained an appreciation to how we learn to think, and as a learning coach I love to put these techniques into practice. Having taught in various middle and high school classrooms I understand the gaps that students struggle with.

With over 10 years as a Mechanical Engineer in the high-tech industry I put my job aside to pursue my passion. In 2013 I obtained a Math degree (Dean's list) and a Secondary Math Teaching License. As an older student I gained an appreciation to how we learn to think, and as a learning coach I love to put these techniques into practice. Having taught in various middle and high school classrooms I understand the gaps that students struggle with.

I employ multiple representations to connect with the many interpretations that students present, and over the years I have refined my basic technique: to guide the student's questions so they discover the answers. Through inquiry, achieving understanding is also an art best served with a dose of fun.

Well versed in the culture and fully fluent in Spanish and French I'm also authorized to teach these subjects in Colorado's middle and high schools.

French

French

French is almost my mother tongue as my school's full immersion in the language gave me the platform to further my studies in college. My mastery of French opened the door for multiple opportunities, such as a six-week professional exchange to Normandy sponsored by the Rotary club.

Homeschool

Algebra 2,

Algebra 2

I have a Math degree from the University of Colorado and I have also taken a graduate level course in teaching methods for Algebra from the University of Colorado, which has helped to build a repertoire of tools that students can access to become proficient in the subject. As each student's learning is unique, it is vital for teachers to understand the pyramid of knowledge from the informal to generalized or abstract concepts, and be able to apply this knowledge using multiple representations.
Calculus,

Calculus

This is a good place to brag about receiving the top grade in my class at the University of Colorado. A fundamental knowledge base in my career, Calculus puts together useful math on a vast number of professions. The major concepts are quite few and this is often missed. A BA in Math and secondary math teaching license should be required to tutor this subject, one of my favorites!

Having taught Geometry at a local High School helps to understand student's challenges with the subject. It's a little different, and lots of fun!
Precalculus,

Precalculus

I have tutored PreCalc in High School and Community College level for 10 years. Pre Calc is a confusing subject since it covers a diversity of topics that are presented for the first time in High School Math. From Trig to Abstract Algebra, it wildly goes where no student ever thought to be!
SAT Math

SAT Math

Over ten years experience in hi-tech engineering was a good entry towards my degree in Math, which in turn prepared me to teach. Having done so both as teacher and tutor I have gained over time an appreciation for the multiple paths to understanding. As my students and parents attest, I can identify the gaps in knowledge and obstacles in learning and test taking. Emphasis has shifted over the years so I teach the current year's ACT and SAT material.

Having taught Trig/Pre Calc as a student-teacher in a local high school helped my understanding of what and why students struggle with this subject. Going more in depth during my math degree has helped me better explain the concepts.

Excellent Tutor

Sergio is very patient and has a wide range of knowledge and experience teaching. My son was highly engaged in his pre-calculus lesson, which is half the battle!

Sofya, 6 lessons with Sergio

Knowledgeable and very patient

My son really likes his method of teaching as he says his teacher at school does not explain the concepts that well. He feels confident about the subject and is doing well in class. Thanks Sergio!

Sophia, 21 lessons with Sergio

I would highly recommend Sergio

Sergio was a great AP Calculus BC tutor for my son. With his help and patience, my son received an A in the class, both semesters. He was flexible with schedules and even did some last minute test preps on line. I would highly recommend Sergio. He is an asset in helping your student really understand and learn this challenging subject. Thank you Sergio!

Danielle , 34 lessons with Sergio

Very Knowledgeable Tutor

Sergio really knows his math! He is patient and relatable and was very helpful with exam preparation. Also he was very responsive and made sure to provide availability in his schedule before the exam.

Melissa, 9 lessons with Sergio

Very patient and accommodating!

He is really good at teaching. When I didn’t understand the first time he explained it, he eventually found a way to explain it in a way I understood. I am definitely going to use him as a resource again!

Binta , 23 lessons with Sergio

Excellent teacher with passion for teaching

Sergio has been teaching our son Math for over a year. He is very calm and patient with his student. When the lesson goes on, I can hear his voice over the speaker and immediately feel that he is truly passionate about teaching. His excitement becomes obvious when his student connects the dots and understands a new concept. He knows his subject matter very well. We are really glad that we found him.

Moshiul, 87 lessons with Sergio

Excellent Algebra Tutor

My son was struggling with Algebra due to the COVID shutdowns and distance learning. I was worried he wasn't grasping the concepts and he would have to attend summer school. Meeting twice a week for an hour each session, Sergio used a patient and understanding approach to tutor my son in Algebra over the past semester and raise his grade by two total letters (19 point increase from the end of the prior semester)! For all of you looking for a tutor, I would highly recommend Sergio. His tutoring methods have helped my son tremendously!
