Throughout high school and college, my favorite subjects were Math, Physics, and Spanish. I love working through math and physics problems, and with my background in mechanical engineering, I have great knowledge in these areas. I also have a minor in Mathematics because I enjoyed math so much. I started Spanish 9 years ago, and since then I have lived in Spain and Guatemala to improve my Spanish. I have a solid understanding of grammatical Spanish through my education. I love tutoring because I want students to enjoy learning. If the student understands the material, then it is not frustrating for the student. I enjoy that I can help the student through the frustration by helping them understand the material. I adapt to the student and like to use different techniques to better help the student.
