ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hello, I’m Hamlet Tavarez.

I Would love to share my math journey with you. Since a young age, I was always good with numbers. I noticed and so did my teachers, that I understood everything very quickly. In High school, I was blessed with two excellent math teachers, who influenced me tremendously. I saw what they did for me, and I wanted to do the same for others. It was in college when I started tutoring in the math lab and found that this was indeed my passion. The hours would go quick, and I enjoyed every second of it unlike any other job.

There is no greater satisfaction than a student coming back and saying, “thank you for helping me get this grade that I thought I would never be able to get.” I later became an adjunct at the college while also tutoring there and taught remedial courses in the summer and winter breaks. I was also a teaching assistant for a couple of years at an elementary school, where I was able to see how even at a young age, our children struggle with this subject. Now, I am teaching at the high school level and absolutely love it.

My goal is to eventually become a college professor and keep on helping everyone at every level in their math journey. I have been exposed to hundreds of teaching styles throughout my career and have helped thousands of students. This has helped me pick the easiest ways to explain things and point out the most common mistakes that are made. These books are an extension of my journey, and I would love to reach and help as many people as possible. I hope they will help you in your math journey as much as this math journey has helped me. Enjoy!
