My Passion & How I Inspire

I will do whatever is necessary for you to reach your full potential. I am ready to prepare a class designed for your style, in which we can focus on your difficulties and overcome them. I rely on the student to tell me what works best for them, so I can deliver a "custom-made" class that will help us achieve your goals. I am patient and persistent, so we will only finish when we have succeeded. I believe that by having a student-based approach we can make classes enjoyable and take full advantage of the time we spend in class.

My Experience

In 2011, during my undergraduate I was a tutor in a Biostatistics course, in which I had to help students during the class and also had some office hours in which I could help them with exercises or even review some of the topics from class.

In 2017 I undertook a job at SAGAH, which is an online teaching platform run by the Artmed group. There I could develop my skills to prepare materials for students, and really grasp how to highlight key points to help them develop their knowledge in a certain subject. It also gave me the opportunity to produce different kinds of teaching materials, which are suitable for different students with various preferences. The materials were: a chapter, a video with a key point, exercises, a challenge and also a practical example of the subject.
