Hobbies
As a father of two daughters (both were trained by me, in the past years they were winners in Cuba of several National Contests in Math at Elementary, Secondary and High School and in Physics at High School) I have a great experience to teach Math (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus) and Physics at any level of Education, preferably at High School, College and University. I'm a passionate researcher in space physics, that I like to share my knowledge with anyone that wants to learn. Beside, I like to practice sports, like swim, dive and martial arts. If you are willing to learn Math and Physics, call me, I'm the person able to teach you.
