Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from University of Texas in San Antonio
Hello! My name is Pablo. I have been a private tutor since 2012 and have been employed as an engineer since 2014. I'm excited to bring my teaching experience and technical know-how into my Outschool classes. I believe in empowering learners by teaching them according to their preferences. I will explain class concepts step-by-step, and I strive to create a light-hearted, engaging environment where learners feel comfortable asking questions and have fun as they learn.
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering Science and a Master's of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Additionally, I have minors in English Creative Writing, Mathematics, and Physics. I have been a private tutor since 2012 focused on math and physics, though I have branched out to various other subjects as well. Additionally, during graduate school I was a teaching assistant. This meant I planned, taught, and graded the lab section of an advanced electronics course. I actually won an award for this role one year!
I have been working as a professional engineer since 2014; as such I try to incorporate real life examples of the concepts I am teaching. I believe it's not just about knowing HOW to do a problem, it's important to know WHY these concepts are relevant and the way they are APPLIED in the real world.
As a teacher, I want to empower learners. Not everybody learns the same, so I try to cater to an individual's learning style. During class I strive to create an engaging and fun environment where students can feel comfortable speaking up when they don't quite understand a concept. Outside of class, I will suggest additional and optional resources that can enhance a learner's understanding.
A little about myself...
I am also a big-time enthusiast of flying cars that play soccer, AKA the video game Rocket League. I also love anime and manga. A few of my favorites are Naruto, FMA: Brotherhood, One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, My Hero Academia... The list could go on and on and on!
I hope to see you in class! Feel free to message me with any questions.Reviews
