"I'm Andres! I'm a PhD candidate in mathematics specializing in differential geometry and algebraic topology. I first discovered my love of teaching while completing my high school's math and science magnet program and helping friends and classmates with multivariable calculus and differential equations homework. My senior year, I joined the math team and placed in the top 10 out of over 100 competitors in several regional calculus contests while teaching myself more advanced math in my free time.

I then attended the University of Florida, where I majored in mathematics, taking graduate classes and competing in the Putnam Competition. This is also when I started taking tutoring more seriously and began helping hundreds of students over the years with almost any level of math. After getting A's in classes like abstract algebra, advanced calculus, and complex analysis and earning a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, I decided to pursue a PhD and attempt to realize my long-held dream of becoming a research mathematician.

For the last five years, I've been an instructor and teaching assistant for numerous classes at the University of Florida, including single and multivariable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. At the end of my second year of graduate school, I was recognized with an award for excellence in teaching, and out of a desire to further hone my craft as a teacher, I then completed graduate level coursework in education. I try to impart a deep understanding of the material and explain the why behind mathematics. There's no better feeling than that moment when a light bulb turns on and a difficult concept finally clicks. I want all of my students to experience the beauty and elegance that I see in mathematics and to help them achieve the mastery and confidence that they're looking for.
