Hi there! My classes are focused on STEM-related courses (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). I want each session to be as interactive as possible with the goal of having students learn through games and activities. I teach classes I am passionate about and I want students to spark their imagination as they will be engineers and scientists of tomorrow.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. I also have a Master’s in Business Administration. For many years, I have been an active mentor in the education sector focused mainly on science and technology. I have taken part in Engineering Kids programs where I show the importance of learning engineering through fun experiments and activities. I have also taken part in different Lego League training sessions and competitions. Additionally, As a father of two, I enjoy teaching my kids about science and the world that surrounds us.
My philosophy is that everyone has the potential to learn with the right tools. Kids and teenagers learn mostly through visual examples and my classes are focused to be as visual as possible.
I hope to see your smiling faces in my next class. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to accommodate.
