Rafael
Excel, Math, physics, Calculus, Civil Engineer, Math is life, and life is good.
Math is life, and life is good. Hello everyone! My name is Rafael. I have been teaching online and locally for over two years and I really enjoy it! I'm currently studying for my Ph.D. If you are a parent who reads my profile, I do my best to make math enjoyable for students. It is a very difficult subject and sometimes students just need a boost of confidence and learn the basics. On the other hand, I like to encourage students who do well on their own. I like to challenge students and push their limits so that they become really strong mathematicians. If you are a student reading my profile, know that I can really help you learn your math well and enjoy doing it! There are many different ways to explain any topic; my goal will be to make you comfortable with your skills. That's all I have for you :) Have a wonderful day!
