Math and physics, taught by an engineer who uses them every day.
One-on-one and small-group tutoring for high school and university students. Online from anywhere, or in person in Broward and Miami-Dade, in English or Spanish.
- Tutoring since 2016
- 15+ years as an engineer
- English & Spanish
I don't just teach.
I make sure you learn.
What I teach
High school through university engineering, one approach: understand why the method works, then practice until it's automatic.
High school
Grades 9–12, including honors, AP and dual enrollment.
- Algebra 1 & 2incl. Florida EOC prep
- Geometryincl. Florida EOC prep
- Precalculus & trigonometry
- AP Calculus AB & BC
- Physics & AP Physics 1, 2, C
- SAT & ACT math
University
Math and physics for STEM, pre-med and engineering majors.
- College algebra & precalculus
- Calculus I, II & III
- Differential equations
- Physics I & IIalgebra- or calculus-based
- Midterm & final exam reviewsone-on-one or in groups
Engineering courses
For electrical and computer engineering students. These are the topics I work with every day as an engineer, so we cover the theory and how it's used in real hardware.

- Electric circuits I & IIDC, AC, transients
- Digital logic design
- ProgrammingC, C++, Python
- Microcontrollers & embedded systems

How it works
-
Free intro call
20 minutes to look at the course, the syllabus and where you're stuck. No commitment.
-
A plan around your exams
I map the topics to your test dates, so every session works on what's coming next.
-
Sessions that stick
We solve problems together until you can do them alone, then practice under exam conditions.
Why a tutor when there's AI?
AI can explain any topic at 2 a.m.It can't take your exam for you.
I find where it breaks.
AI answers the question you ask. I find the step you don't know you're missing.
You practice without it.
On exam day there's no AI. We train for the moment it's just you and the problem.
I teach you to use it well.
How to check its answers, catch its mistakes, and use it to study instead of to skip studying.
About me
I'm Jose Diaz, an engineer with more than 15 years designing electronics and firmware for medical devices and aerospace systems.
I studied engineering at the Technological University of Havana (CUJAE) and graduated 5th in a class that started with 150 students. I started teaching there in my second year as a student teaching assistant in math and physics. I've tutored students in the U.S. since 2016, from middle school through university.
My approach is simple: I show you why a method works, not just the steps, so it still makes sense on exam day. And because I use this math at work, I can show you where it actually shows up.
- CUJAEengineering degree, Technological University of Havana. Graduated 5th of 150.
- 15+ yearsengineering in industry
- Since 2016tutoring in the U.S.
What students and parents say
[University student's words about working with you: what they struggled with and what changed. Two or three sentences.]
[Parent's words about their high school student: confidence, grades, how sessions went.]
[Engineering or physics student's words, ideally about how you connected the theory to real-world use.]

Questions
Do you tutor online or in person?
Both. Online sessions work from anywhere with a laptop or tablet. In-person sessions are available in Broward and Miami-Dade, at your home, a library or campus.
Are sessions in English or Spanish?
Whichever helps you learn. Many students switch between both, and exams stay in English, so we practice the vocabulary too.
Can parents get progress updates?
Yes. For high school students I can send parents a short update after each session: what we covered and what to practice.
Will you do my homework or graded work?
No. I'll help you understand how to solve similar problems so you can do graded work yourself. That's also what gets you through the exam.
What if I need to cancel?
Reschedule for free with at least 24 hours' notice. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged in full.
My exam is next week. Is it too late?
No, but book soon. Exam weeks fill up first. A focused review on the topics that will be tested can still make a real difference.
