Homework
1 hour per week. I usually give my students extra material to practice; we also re-work certain key homework exercises, so that they can understand the underlying patterns of thought in these math problems.Assessment
When requested by the parents, an informal assessment can be made every 2-3 weeks, to see the student's progress and to tune and adjust the program we're working on.Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 12
During the first few sessions, we get acquainted, and I encourage both the parents and the student to send PDFs, screenshots, or pictures of the material they want to cover. From there, I can create a study plan for the different topics and mathematical abilities the student is learning. My style is adaptable, depending on my students' visualization, intuition, reasoning qualities and talents. A typical class would provide guidance and assistance when they need to solve specific school assignments. We also do independent work where we advance the ideas and concepts being taught. Every time we get a chance, we go through additional exercises or questions to deepen their understanding and agility of different mathematical ideas and applications. As a mathematician, the added value that I bring to the table is that I'm able to see the big picture of mathematics and instill in my students the art of math modelling, which is to reveal the patterns of how to scientifically and creatively predict the world around us. For me, the essence of teaching math is to allow the student's awareness to grasp the concepts at hand in a practical and non-stressful way so that everything clicks naturally and progressively.
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence in their present and future math assignments and projects.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm a mathematician and a classical and jazz pianist. I'm a bilingual math and music teacher; I've been teaching K-12 Math, teaching piano lessons and performing for more than ten years in the US, Canada, and México.
I'm a Fulbright scholar with a master's in jazz and a double major in mathematics and classical piano. I also love Computer Science and have been working for a Data Science company for two years now.
Everything is easy, and everyone can learn any ability or topic; it's a combination of practice, a clever approach, and some guidance along the way; that's what makes the learning equation magical!
It is also essential to understand every student's strengths and adapt, as a teacher and guide, to their needs and their way of understanding the world.
Perhaps one of the most important tools I use when solving a problem is to construct a simpler scenario and use that to understand the original problem; this way, everything seems a little bit easier to understand. Our ability to imagine a more straightforward scenario is one of the fundamental tools we can use in math and any other human activity - less is MORE!
The greatest advantage of having a tutor is that you'll have a guide along the way that has travelled through many of the places you are now travelling and can lead you along the way. The idea is to walk together, have fun and improve our math skills!
I've always taken this approach with my students, and it all works out better than we expect in the end!
