GENERAL EXPERIENCE:
As an undergraduate student at Florida International University (FIU) from 2001 to 2005, I often found myself tutoring my study groups in several subject areas, from Biochemistry to advanced Calculus, which greatly helped my performance in each class.

GENERAL EXPERIENCE:
As an undergraduate student at Florida International University (FIU) from 2001 to 2005, I often found myself tutoring my study groups in several subject areas, from Biochemistry to advanced Calculus, which greatly helped my performance in each class. By my senior year, I obtained a teaching assistantship for a graduate level class on Computational Modeling of Cellular Systems, which was a challenging course that combined advanced math and cell biology for engineering students. I was the first ever undergraduate student to teach a graduate course at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at FIU.

As a PhD student at UC Berkeley from 2006 to 2012, I assisted in developing the curriculum and teaching several Bioengineering and Physics courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels for engineering and science students, many of whom were freshmen and sophomores. In my thesis research laboratory, I mentored many small groups of undergraduate and graduate students on hands-on techniques as well as designing and performing experiments with minimal supervision. I also participated in several undergraduate and graduate student mentoring programs at UC Berkeley, which included group seminar presentations as well as one-on-one tutoring sessions of students from science and engineering majors, including minority students. I actually co-founded the Bioengineering Advising Representatives Program in the Bioengineering department at UC Berkeley with the goal of coaching undergraduate students interested in graduate school how to best prepare for the application process and the challenges faced as they pursue advanced degrees.

APPROACH TO TUTORING: There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to learning. Different students will respond better to one style of teaching versus another. My job as a tutor is to find out what teaching style or presentation will make my student comprehend the subject at hand better. First, I try to find out what sparks the interest in the student and then try to r

Great Math Tutor

My son has been taking Math lessons from Haroldo for over a year. My son's scores and interest in Math has increased considerably. Haroldo has been very flex and patient with changes in schedule and accommodating to what my son needs. I will highly recommend him.

Jasmeet, 124 lessons with Haroldo

Haroldo is great!

We are so lucky to have found Haroldo. My son was struggling with his analytical geometry and calculus class and Haroldo has been great in tutoring him. A lifesaver!

Rosario, 4 lessons with Haroldo

Communicates well, Patient and Solidifies Lesson

Exceptional. Son’s second lesson with Haroldo this time for Algebra 2. Haroldo was prompt and communicates clearly. My son really appreciates Haroldo’s ability to explain and expand on the material. My son GREATLY appreciated that Haroldo would ask if he understood what was just explained before moving forward. Looking forward to securing future lessons. Thank you, Haroldo.

Marisela, 3 lessons with Haroldo

Communicates well, Patient and Solidifies Lesson

Communicated with Haroldo via messages in advance of lesson to express what I was looking for in a long term tutor. Haroldo was prompt and communicates clearly. He is personable. My son has only had one lesson in Chemistry (prep for Stoichiometry exam) thus far, but what my son really appreciated was his patience and his ability to explain and expand on the material. My son GREATLY appreciated that Haroldo would ask if he understood what was just explained before moving forward. Looking forward to securing future lessons. Thank you, Haroldo.

Marisela, 3 lessons with Haroldo

Very to the point! Much needed

Haroldo is great; through the lesson he helped me realize how simple my mistakes I were making in terms of writing out lab reports. Very to the point, would recommend him!

Emmanuel, 1 lesson with Haroldo

great teacher

He did everything I need it for review for my calculus exam and broke it down for me in a way I understood.

Cesar, 1 lesson with Haroldo

Knowledgeable tutor

We had a great tutor section with Haroldo. My son was able to get answers to all his questions. Haroldo explained the content in a very simple and neat way. Also gave suggestions to review the materials from trigonometry as well. Highly recommend to have the calculus tutorial lessons from Haroldo.

Tina, 21 lessons with Haroldo

Knowledgeable and wonderful communication

My child was happy with the teaching style and clear communication and he feels confident that he will learn better. It was easy for me to set up a side channel with Haroldo to keep track of the progress my child was making.

Sekhar, 20 lessons with Haroldo

Clear and knowledgeable

Haroldo provides clear explanations of concepts to my son, who really enjoys working with him. He has been very communicative and responds extremely quickly to messages. We are very happy with Haroldo's teaching and look forward to having him work with us into the future!

Jennifer, 42 lessons with Haroldo

Responded quickly, always present and punctual, helped pass Chem. I!

Haroldo worked with our son for a Chemistry class and our son passed the course! We are very pleased with everything he did to help him. All three of us highly recommend Haroldo. Thank you.
