Hi, I'm Ray Dean Costillas, a licensed civil engineer passionate about teaching. With expertise in math, english, physics, and engineering, I simplify complex concepts into clear, engaging lessons. My mission is to empower students to think critically, build confidence, and love learning. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, where I honed my technical and analytical abilities. Additionally, I am TEFL-certified, allowing me to teach English with a focus on communication, vocabulary development, and language mastery. These qualifications enable me to provide impactful and comprehensive instruction across multiple subjects.

As an experienced tutor of 5+ years, I help students succeed academically in English and Math, from primary levels to higher levels of gymnasium or senior high school. Though I don't speak German, I bring enthusiasm to my work. I've taught diverse students from various online teaching platforms in Asia and South America, ranging from beginners to advanced learners. I have experience in one-on-one and group settings, using effective methods to meet academic needs. Outside of tutoring, I work as a registered chemical technician validating test results in a US-based laboratory, spend time with my German Shepherd and Yellow Labrador, travel, enjoy food, and continuously enhance my skills. Join me on this enriching journey!" I am a TESOL, TEYL, and TEFL certified English teacher with a bachelor's degree in Engineering, majoring in Chemical Engineering Technology. With 5+ years of online tutoring experience, I am capable of assisting in English, Math, and Science to diverse students online."
