About Me
Looking for an energetic and self-motivated Online tutor? Search no further, because I am the perfect fit for the position. With over 7 years of experience as an Online and In-person Tutor and a graduate research assistant for a professor’s works, "Science Teacher Preparation in Content-Based Second Language Acquisition" by Alandeom W. Oliveira, I will step in and generate an immediate contribution to your math and science work. I find it rewarding to not only teach the academics but to also explain how and why we use them in the real world. Who would have thought Algebra and the Cartesian Plane for graphing is what we use to code mobile and computer applications?! Did you know that cybersecurity and hacking are done through algebra? There are many math and science topics that relate to our everyday lives. I will help make the learning experience personal and interesting.
