Student Successes

What languages do you speak?

I speak English and Portuguese fluently.

Why do you teach?

I tutor because I believe education should be accessible, engaging, and tailored to each student’s unique needs. My passion for teaching comes from seeing the impact that personalized instruction can have on a student’s confidence and understanding. I’ve always loved helping others grasp complex topics, especially in computer science and data science, and I’m driven by the idea of making these subjects approachable and exciting for everyone. For me, tutoring is about more than just teaching concepts, it’s about building connections, fostering curiosity, and helping students unlock their potential.

What three words would your students use to describe you?

Fun, effective, and compassionate.

What is your favorite book?

My favorite book is Moby Dick, as it's a fun adventure and a stark reminder about the problems with obsession and refusing to move forward.

What is one memorable moment you've had while tutoring?

At Bloomtech, I encountered a student who was struggling to grasp the curriculum. Despite his best efforts, programming seemed beyond his reach, and he was on the verge of giving up. We discovered a shared passion for certain hobbies and interests, and our meetings often evolved into hangouts. Through these interactions, I realized a common error that I myself faced with instructors: what was basic to me was incredibly complex for him, and I often glossed over things that should be given more attention. This friendship allowed me to understand his learning style and where he needed extra support, and allowed him to be truthful with me and my efforts. I shifted my approach, starting from the very basics and building a foundation that made sense to him. With this, he not only passed all the coding exams but even developed his own crypto prediction model!
