Luis Armando - Know your tutor
My name is Luis Casso, students can call me Lucho. I've been an unofficial tutor for three years already, and my passion lies in teaching mathematics to anyone who needs help. I helped students from various academic levels, ranging from the last year of high school to undergraduate college students. I can help with any topic up to Calculus I, and I will find time for teaching and making sure that every student who requires my help finds all the sources they need. As a math major student, I got to understand how maths could be harder for any student and how that made every high school student to have some sort of rejection towards the topic, but I personally wanted to become a math teacher because I think that everyone can learn math, and math can be used to teach not only as a school subject, but a way to understand the world and how it works. That is why teaching is my passion.

Class overview
My teaching style goes hand in hand with making sure students understand the why behind things. Every formula has a reason to exist, and students need to grasp the logical process behind the terminology for a more solid kind of learning — rather than just memorizing formulas they’ll likely forget. I’m very patient and interactive when teaching, and I always try to go at a pace that students find comfortable. The topics I can teach are varied in content, and I find it easy to identify areas of mathematics that require specific logical processes. At the same time, I can teach different strategies and tricks so that students learn through mnemonic devices or visual examples — helping them understand how to approach any exercise or problem they encounter. I have experience working with several students and have been able to connect with them in different ways to help them understand the problems presented. Once they become comfortable with the concepts, they reach the solutions much more quickly.

Mathematics concepts taught by Luis Armando
The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced calculating volume for cubes and objects given base area and height, reinforcing the use of squared and cubic units. They then explored area formulas for squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles, with the Tutor explaining the derivation of these formulas, including the concept of Pi and radius. The Student was given a final circle area problem to complete, with a plan to discuss new material in the next session.
Calculating the Area of a Circle
Circle Terminology: Radius
Diameter
Pi (π)
Area of a Triangle: Half a Rectangle
Area vs. Volume: Understanding Dimensions
Volume Calculation & Cubic Units
Calculating Area for Rectangles and Squares
The Student and Tutor reviewed fundamental geometry concepts, distinguishing between surface and volume, understanding dimensions, and identifying attributes of quadrilaterals like rhombuses and parallelograms. They also practiced solving a word problem involving fractions and explored the properties of exponents, especially powers of ten and the zero exponent rule. The next session will begin with an unsolved problem from the current worksheet.
Geometric Dimensions: Surface Area vs. Volume
Understanding Quadrilateral Properties
Solving Word Problems with Arithmetic Operations
Exponents and Powers of Ten
Decimal Place Value and Expanded Form
The tutor and student reviewed concepts related to fractions and decimals. They practiced identifying improper fractions, rounding decimals, comparing decimal place values, and solving multi-step fraction word problems. The next session will continue with math exercises.
Fractions and Inequalities
Decimal Place Value and Rounding
Comparing Decimal Values
Fraction Arithmetic with Subtraction and Multiplication
The Student and Tutor worked through a summer math packet, focusing on key mathematical concepts. They practiced multi-digit multiplication, correctly reading and understanding the place value of large numbers, and accurately plotting points on a coordinate plane. The session concluded with the Student demonstrating proficiency in comparing decimal numbers; the next session was rescheduled due to the Student's graduation.
Comparing Decimal Numbers
Coordinate Plane and Ordered Pairs
Reading Large Numbers and Place Value
Efficient Multiplication Setup
Multi-Digit Multiplication
The session centered on foundational mathematics, specifically covering coordinate planes, ordered pairs, and X and Y tables. Student and Tutor practiced identifying patterns in data and solving for unknown variables using algebraic equivalences. The next class is scheduled for Thursday.
X and Y Tables (Introduction to Functions)
Efficient Division with Powers of Ten
Ratios
Proportions
and Real-World Equivalences
Solving Simple Linear Equations
Plotting Points and Basic Geometric Shapes
Cartesian Coordinate Plane Fundamentals
The tutor and student reviewed line plots, focusing on how to interpret data, perform operations with fractional values on line plots, and understand the relationship between fractions and decimals. They worked through examples to solidify these concepts and prepared for future lessons on decimals.
Fractions and Decimals on Number Lines
Operations with Fractions in Context
