Mario Sanchez Carrion

I am a math tutor currently helping middle and high school students master common math concepts, and getting them prepared for the SAT and ACT tests.

I am also a computer programming enthusiast, especially interested in data analytics using Python, SQL and R.

I previously worked in international marketing and product development for Stanley Black & Decker, for more than 25 years.

How it Works

I am available for online and in-person classes. Online classes are conducted via the Wyzant platform. Ideally, students will contact me before the class to let me know what subjects they need help with (either the general topics or the specific exercises they want us to review together).

During our lessons I ensure that students understand the concepts behind the solutions to problems, so that they can later apply them themselves.

Teaching Style

My experience in teaching comes not from a traditional education background, but from the corporate world. As an Industrial Engineer and MBA, one of my most important tasks was to give presentations that required me to distill and simplify complex concepts, while keeping my audience engaged. I am now using those same skills in my math tutoring sessions.

I also draw inspiration from my computer programming journey, since computational thinking-the logical and process-oriented approach to solving problems, lends itself naturally to the teaching of math.

I firmly believe that math is not difficult: it is just poorly taught. During my tutoring sessions I make sure that my students master the basics first. I also use examples to make the concepts less abstract and easier to understand.

My goal is to help students overcome their fear of math, enjoy the learning process, and do well in class and tests.
