Diego

I have a bachelor's and master's degree in mathematics and have tutored in this and a few other subjects for over ten years, including high school physics, music theory, and English to Spanish-speakers. I have enjoyed helping students in K-College and hope to continue doing so, learning more and more with my students.

My Tutoring Style:

One of my biggest goals when teaching is not just to get the student done with work, but also to really understand, interact, and feel inspired to put the newly-attained concepts and skills into use. We first tap into prior knowledge, investigate what we know and what we are not clear about, then we work to design a (sometimes experimental) path that can lead us to the answer. The process is key, as it helps encourage problem-solving.

Success Story:

I had a student who struggled with her math classes. She enjoyed the patience that I offered her all throughout the learning process and tried her best to press on. Recently, after about a year of no contact, she thanked me for having helped her because she was motivated to apply to a college program in economy and was well aware of its use of math. She said she would not be seeking to delve into a math-heavy field like this in the past, and this whole experience meant to me that I was doing my job in helping others be more confident learners.

Hobbies & Interests:

I love to play the piano, study, play videogames, and ride bicycle. I'm also interested in music composition, boomerangs, squirrels, and learning how to draw/sketch.
