About Carlos

I have tutored for about 5 years and I did a lot of tutoring in that time (I tutored privately/freelance as well as for Kip Mcgraph. Both at students' homes and online. I can email some of the recordings of my past tutoring sessions upon request). The many students (over a dozen) I have tutored have all expressed their enthusiastic approval of my tutoring and are willing to act as references (that is to say, that if you request it I will give you their phone numbers for you to hear their approval directly)

I have distinctions in university first year pure Mathematics and university first year Statistics. I am currently waiting to accrue sufficient funds to continue my studies without financial issues (that is why I am available at any time).

I am very patient, friendly and flexible; (available any day and any time for online and in person tutoring (in the case of the latter, I can tutor at the student's location, my location or some other location [for example, a public library], just so long as the location is within reasonable distance)

My methodology is customized based on the particular student.

First I obtain information. I ask the student what the student's goals are and what his current level of understanding is. I also ask about the student's personality, tendencies and current situation.

Then I choose a tutoring method based on the above.

For example, if the student currently does not have a student (eg: due to covid lockdown) I, essentially, might try to be a substitute teacher. If the student does have a teacher, then I might give extra attention to avoiding simply being a repeat of the teacher's lesson and to instead provide different ways of seeing things and to to demonstrate different techniques (instead of being of a substitute nature my lesson might be more of a supplemental nature, trying to provide that which the typical teacher does not)

My methodology will vary based on student feedback. For example if a student is mostly concerned about short term test improvements then I might forego deeper understanding and different ways of seeing things in favor of reinforcing the typical methods and algorithmic techniques that will serve this goal. On the other hand if the student is fascinated with a particular topic and is concerned with mathematical enrichment then I might delve more deeply into the topics providing different ways of seeing things and deeper understanding.

The methodology might also changed based on assessment such as tests and assignments.

In summary:

First I gather info.
Then I choose a methodology based on this info.
After some time has passed the student and I reflect and assess on the student's situation and growth.
Then I modify the methodology if appropriate.

In other words the methodology changes according to information and the current situation.

It bears mentioning that I will usually provide a session report.
