About Me

Over 120 of these hours were logged in tutoring a group of 4th graders, which is where the most of my experience in tutoring has stemmed from.]I am currently working towards a bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of central Florida. I am tutoring mainly in three subjects: Computer Science (General/AP/IB), Spanish (General/AP/IB), and IB English Language/Literature. My favorite one to teach is Computer Science, as it tends to be the easiest one to teach, and has many practical applications outside of a learning environment. Many of my lessons will involve breaking concepts down to their core mechanics, teaching the subject from a ground-up perspective, and incorporating examples and exercises for the student to use. The lessons need to be presented in a manner that is not so complex that the student feels overwhelmed, but also not so simple that the student feels patronized and stops learning. Outside of tutoring, my interests involves writing, reading, playing games and socializing with friends.

Q&A with Sebastian

Typically, I tend to break lessons into tiny pieces, teaching small concepts that connect together and build to a larger, arcing whole. It's unreasonable to expect students to understand complicated subject without first learning the mechanics behind said subjects. With this in mind, I use a lot of examples to support the learning process, and will generally refuse to teach by pre-built templates (e.g. I won't teach Spanish like a phrase book).
