Hello! I'm Joaquin, a dedicated and experienced math tutor with over 20 years of teaching experience, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting, a Master's degree in Philosophy, and a Certificate in Teaching Program, which I earned through a scholarship.

My teaching journey began in 1999, focusing on high school math subjects. I started as a grade 10 class adviser and later took on a high school Math teaching position at another school. In 2007, I transitioned to one-on-one private tutoring, providing personalized support to students.

In 2013, I accepted an offer as an Operations Manager and Tutor Supervisor at a Tutorial and Review Center. Here I taught various subjects and worked with students from different schools, including those with honors and students from the prestigious Philippine Science High School.

When the pandemic struck, I adapted to the changing times by shifting to online tutoring. Since then, I have been successfully tutoring students from various locations using platforms like Messenger, Zoom, and Google Meet.

I am passionate about helping students excel in math and am committed to providing high-quality, personalized tutoring sessions. Whether you're looking for support in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, or any other math subject, I'm here to help you achieve your academic goals.
