Bio

After excelling in Spanish 1–5 in high school, I have continued using Spanish regularly at work, in daily life, and through Spanish-language media. I also hold a B.S. in General Physics with a minor in Applied & Computational Mathematics from UMass Lowell (2023).

After excelling in Spanish 1–5 in high school, I have continued using Spanish regularly at work, in daily life, and through Spanish-language media. I also hold a B.S. in General Physics with a minor in Applied & Computational Mathematics from UMass Lowell (2023).

I teach students of all ages and levels of Spanish for any learning goal. My tutoring experience comes from working with college students in math and physics, both one-on-one and in group settings, and I earned Level 3 CRLA certification.

My Spanish lessons follow what I call the Tree Method: beginning with pronunciation and verb conjugation, then expanding to prepositions, nouns, and adjectives, before developing more sophisticated expression while preserving each student's unique voice.

I also draw on my knowledge of Latin American culture and popular media to make lessons more engaging, memorable, and practical.

In math and physics tutoring, I typically begin with three practice problems to build understanding and confidence. I strive to create a supportive environment where mistakes are welcomed as part of learning rather than feared. When appropriate, I introduce trick problems to help students identify irrelevant information and strengthen problem-solving skills.

When teaching new material, I often start with a problem and use it to introduce the underlying concepts before working through the solution. Students consistently describe my teaching style as energetic, approachable, and engaging.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

In 2023 I earned my BS in General Physics and Applied and Computational Mathematics from UMass Lowell. I also tutored math and physics for 2 years.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I helped to teach a differential equations class at my college for 2 semesters, and a non-calculus physics class for 1 semester. I created storyline-based PowerPoint games for each class (225 slides for diff. eq. and 124 slides for non-calc physics) to help the students review for final exams. I also tutored MATLAB for one semester. Working with students of various ages and ability levels is my strong suit.
