About the Tutors

I am a high school student at an American school in Brazil. I am originally from Colombia. I am here to review and study all my material for each subject. I have some difficulties with memorization, so constant practice and extra work will help me a lot. During my free time, I usually go surfing, hang out with my friends, bake, and do other activities.
