Introduction: Greetings! I bring a diverse and enriching background to my role as a professional tutor. Originally from Colombia, I earned a bachelor’s degree in physics and engineering and contributed to academia as a teacher’s assistant, research assistant, and researcher at The National University of Colombia. Following my move to Michigan twelve years ago, I immersed myself in administrative roles and served as a writer for a Latino magazine. My journey led me to the Bay Area, where I ventured into marketing before redirecting my skills toward noble causes. Working for an environmentally friendly company, I traversed northern California, building and maintaining customer relationships.
With a lifelong passion for dance, I possess expertise in break dance, belly dance, hip-hop, merengue, and Colombian salsa. My collaboration with local artists and dance groups adds a creative dimension to my diverse skill set.
In the realm of education, I've taught science, Spanish, and grace-and-courtesy in Montessori Schools for two years. My commitment to continuous learning is reflected in courses in psychology, early childhood education, leadership in education, and school operations and administration. I firmly believe in the transformative power of education and aspire to uplift the underserved and less privileged. Currently, I serve as a Spanish teacher for high school, concurrently pursuing double master’s degrees in education and arts.
My teaching experience spans a spectrum, including math (Algebra 1 to Precalculus), Physics, and Spanish from introductory to AP (Advanced Placement) levels in a preparatory school. As a Creative Dance teacher, I understand the profound impact of body movement on students’ emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Beyond academia, my passion lies in helping people discover their inner talents. I view teaching as an opportunity to inspire and challenge students. In my leisure, I engage in Tai Chi, yoga, reading, and enjoy comedies and science fiction movies. Exploring parks, museums, and libraries fuels my curiosity.
My commitment extends to empowering at-risk communities, advocating for our planet's health, and supporting our homeless brothers and sisters. Join me in this journey of education, inspiration, and positive impact on individuals and communities.
