The dynamics of my classes include of a brief presentation to get to know each other, followed by leading questions about the student's needs or homework to state clear expectations of the tutoring session. Always trying to ensure that the student arrives at the answers on their own and avoiding to provide too many answers.

I have a PhD in Biological Sciences and I am curently enrolled in University Teaching Master of the National University of Cuyo.

I work as online tutor for Maths, Biology, Anatomy and Physiology and Science for secondary and higher education students. Apart from that, I currently work as a university teacher in the areas of Psychopharmacology and Human Physiology for Medicine students.

I have worked as Postdoctoral Researcher at CONICET and I investigated the consequences of hypoxia over brain development. Therefore, I have extensive knowledge and experience on scientific methods, experimental design and public communication of science.

Apart from these activities directly related to teaching, I have been involved in projects directed to scientific dissemination activity called "Brain Awareness Week", in which I offered groups of primary school students dynamic classes with games to understand the wonders of the nervous system.

What I love the most is teaching and at several levels, above all I like to facilitate knowledge with simple and tangible vocabulary. I enjoy the challenge of assisting students to solve and master what gives them trouble. I like helping students achieve their goals through personalized support. I am eager to identify students' knowledge gaps.
