About Aurora


Bio

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from UNM in biology and psychology, and I graduated with a 4.13 GPA. I tutored math and chemistry full-time at CNM for 3 years, and I’ve been a private math and science tutor for the past 6 years. My experience has allowed me to work with an extremely diverse student population, and I have successfully tutored students with ADHD, learning disabilities, and crippling math and test anxiety.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from UNM in biology and psychology, and I graduated with a 4.13 GPA. I tutored math and chemistry full-time at CNM for 3 years, and I’ve been a private math and science tutor for the past 6 years. My experience has allowed me to work with an extremely diverse student population, and I have successfully tutored students with ADHD, learning disabilities, and crippling math and test anxiety. My students compliment me extensively on my ability to explain things in a way that makes sense, my almost inexhaustible patience, and, most importantly, my ability to help them feel confident with what they are trying to learn.

I work with students in middle school through college, and I have worked most extensively with pre-algebra, high school algebra, and college algebra as this always seems to be the subject with the highest demand. I am also proficient in geometry, and I have tutored students in statistics, trigonometry, and calculus as well. I have also tutored Chemistry extensively throughout my nine years experience, and I have helped both high school and college students successfully pass general chemistry and introductory chemistry. I have helped students with both the math and science sections of the HESI, ACT, SAT, and GED.

For the past three years, I have had the pleasure of teaching math and science to adults in a college prep/GED prep classroom of 10 students. In this position, I created all of the curriculum that I use, and I absolutely love seeing students who never thought they could go to college gain confidence in math and science. These subjects are not easy for many people, and I pride myself on my ability to make this complex material accessible.

I have 9 years experience tutoring Algebra 2 to students from diverse backgrounds. I have tutored both adult and high school students extensively. I also tutor pre-calc, so I know how to help students build bridges to their next math class
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have 9 years experience tutoring general chemistry, including 3 years in a busy full time tutoring center at a local college. I have worked with both high school and college students, and because I also tutor math I can help make the scientific math much easier to grasp.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have been tutoring pre-algebra for 7 years, and algebra for almost 10. I have worked with middle school, high school and college students. I am able to explain algebra from simple to complex, and I am able to break it down into small, easy to understand steps that students can grasp.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have 6 years experience helping students improve their SAT math scores. I developed a tutoring strategy of identifying which skills need to be built up, and increasing speed where skills are strong. I tutor test-taking strategies, retention skills, and anxiety reduction throughout every session.

Patient & Kind

Aurora worked with my daughter in Chemistry and in Algebra 2 last school year for 2 days every week. She has been patient and kind and has been able to break down the lessons in a way that my daughter understands. My daughter has ADHD and wanted someone willing to take time to understand her needs. She has been very happy and has less anxiety about school in general thanks to Aurora! Aurora helps with homework as well as prep in advance for upcoming courses. Highly recommended!

Great teacher, very helpful!

Aurora was very easy going and willing to work on whatever I asked help with. Super cool and made things make sense.

Knowledgeable and very kind tutor

She knows a lot about many different subjects and will take her time to explain difficult concepts. She goes baby step by baby step while explaining which helps me a lot, and when I ask her to repeat things she always does. She’s very kind and understanding and very patient.
