Math and Science Tutor

I am a Math and Science Teacher at Headlands Prep in Sausalito, a PhD in Earth Science, and have 10+ years of experience as a tutor for high school, middle school, and college students. I have a strong math and physics background, am bilingual in Spanish and English, and am comfortable teaching Spanish (my first language). As an undergrad and PhD student I was a TA in several subjects. I am the kind of teacher who helps students build their own studying habits and learning pathways that will remain well beyond the teaching period.

Since 2010, I have helped students gain confidence in math and science classes. My approach is always interactive and combines theory with practice. I use concrete, real-world examples when applicable. I believe in processing together with my students and am a fan of having them explain what we are learning back to me. I am very observant, patient, and adept at recognizing a student's challenges. I work well one-on-one and also enjoy teaching groups of young people. 

I am also an outdoor enthusiast: I love hiking, wildlife, backpacking, and photography. I am an avid mountain biker, guitarist and recreational soccer player.

I have a flexible schedule and charge $50 an hour.
