Personal Statement

I previously worked at Cal State LA as an SI Leader and my job was to provide weekly, peer-led group study sessions for students that were struggling in their Mathematical courses. This position allowed me to utilize my expertise in math to provide these individuals with a systematic and disciplined approach for processing the subject material assigned by the professor. This was a seasonal job that allowed me to further enhance students' knowledge in their course concepts. As an alumnus of Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet that received an AP score of 4 on the AP Calculus BC Exam, I was able to volunteer as an AP Calculus tutor to help students that were struggling in this subject and provide a disciplined approach for the material conducted by the instructor. This volunteering experience also allowed me to collaborate, build confidence, and motivation in students to succeed in their course. I've also volunteered at my local elementary school to help plenty of children either one-on-one or in groups in math. I have great patience with everyone because I believe it's very crucial to allow the individual to comprehend the information and retain it.
