Experienced High School Teacher and University Tutor in Statistics

Jesus M.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Emory University, where I also completed a minor in Economics. My academic background includes rigorous coursework in areas such as regression analysis, econometrics, statistical computing, numerical analysis, and mathematical modeling. These experiences strengthened both my conceptual understanding and my ability to explain complex ideas in clear, accessible ways. I was also recognized as a QuestBridge Scholar, STEM Pathways Scholar, and 1915 Scholar, reflecting my commitment to academic excellence.

Following graduation, I completed over 160 hours of formal educator training through Teach For America in partnership with National Louis University, along with 20 graduate-level credit hours in education. I then spent two years teaching AP Statistics in a public school setting, where I worked with over 150 high school students. In this role, I developed lesson plans, used data-driven strategies to track student growth, and adapted my teaching methods to meet diverse learning needs. I regularly collaborated with other educators and used tools like Excel and Python to monitor progress and set measurable goals.

Currently, I work as a Math Specialist, where I continue to support student learning by analyzing performance data and designing targeted intervention plans. My experience includes both classroom instruction and individualized support, allowing me to work effectively with students across different skill levels. I have experience teaching in both group and one-on-one settings, and I focus on building student confidence by breaking down concepts, modeling problem-solving strategies, and using structured, supportive approaches tailored to each learner.
