Mathematics for high school and university: Calculus, Algebra, etc. and exam preparation.
From 19 C$ /h
I am a mathematician with a degree from UNAM and over 18 years of teaching experience at the high school and university levels. I offer private math tutoring tailored to each student's level and pace.
Subjects I cover:
· Algebra
· Differential and integral calculus
• Analytic Geometry
• Linear Algebra
Trigonometry
• Preparation for entrance and resit exams
My method:
I don't teach memorization of formulas. I work with each student to help them understand the logic behind each concept and solve problems independently. I use visual examples, digital materials, and progressive exercises to ensure solid and lasting learning.
How the classes work:
• Online classes.
• Flexible schedules, adapted to your availability.
• Free initial diagnostic class to assess your level and define a work plan.
If you're looking for support for your current course, preparing for an exam, or simply understanding math once and for all, I can help.

Extra information
The classes are online, via video call. To make the most of the first session, please share with me beforehand the syllabus or topics you are covering in your course, and any exercises or exams you have found difficult.
To connect, you'll need a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a notebook, and a pen for taking notes. If your course requires a calculator, have it handy. You can use whichever platform you prefer (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams); I'm flexible.
In the first session we will do a brief diagnosis to identify your areas of opportunity and define a work plan together.

About Me
About me: Guillermo, mathematician and teacher
Why do I teach?
I teach mathematics because I believe that the way it's traditionally taught in schools—as a series of formulas to be memorized without understanding—undermines students' confidence. Mathematics is, in reality, a logical and fascinating language. My goal in teaching is to alleviate my students' fear and help them see the logic behind the procedures, so they can stop relying on memorization and start reasoning.
What kind of teacher am I?
I am a patient, structured, and highly analytical teacher. I don't like to give quick answers; I prefer to guide students step by step until they find the solution themselves. I adapt to each person's pace because I know that not everyone processes mathematical abstraction in the same way. I especially enjoy working with students who feel that "math isn't for them" because I know that with the right guidance they can change that perception.
My students and experience
I've been teaching for over 18 years. I'm a mathematician, a graduate of UNAM, and I'm currently finishing a master's degree in Mathematics Education. I've taught high school students (at IEMS) and university students (at the Faculty of Sciences at UNAM). What inspires me most are the students who arrive frustrated because they don't understand a topic, and after a couple of sessions they tell me, "Ah, now I understand!" That transition, from frustration to understanding, is what motivates me to keep teaching.
My teaching methods
My classes are 100% online, which allows for flexible scheduling and the use of digital tools to our advantage. My method is based on three pillars:
1. Initial diagnosis: In the first session we evaluate together which topics you master and which ones you need to reinforce.
2. Understanding memorization: I use visual examples and applied problems to help you understand why a formula works, not just how to use it.
3. Guided practice: We solve exercises together, gradually increasing the difficulty, until you feel confident to solve them on your own.
If you're looking for support for your current course, preparing for an entrance exam, or simply want to understand mathematics once and for all, I'd be happy to guide you through the process.
