"Hello,

My name is Armando and I am looking forward to getting an opportunity to be your personal tutor. I feel that I have a wide range of skills and experiences as an educator that will allow me to effectively help you gain a better understanding of mathematics and thrive as a student.

I have been an educator for over 25 years working as a teacher, coach, and a counselor to students ages 12 through adult. In each of these roles I have taken great satisfaction in helping students succeed and take steps toward meeting their personal goals. I have earned a doctorate in teacher leadership and three master’s degrees in education (counselor education, secondary math education, and educational leadership). I have taught pre-algebra, algebra I, geometry, algebra II, statistics, and linear algebra in addition to graduate-level courses in education. A strength that I have to offer as a mathematics teacher is an ability to recognize gaps in mathematical concept development as a result of my experience teaching students from grades seven through collegiate-level.

Some of the personal qualities that I have to offer are enthusiasm for working with all types of students, excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills, patience and a great sense of humor. I am sure that if given the opportunity, I can make a positive difference in your academic success." less...
