About
Hello, my name is Daniel and I am from Ecuador. I am an archaeologist and I am currently pursuing my master's degree at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) thanks to a scholarship I won. I have been tut... oring various subjects associated with mathematics, physics and chemistry for more than six years. Having had this experience allows me to communicate better with the students of the subject in which I am a teaching assistant, which fills me with satisfaction.
My goal is to develop biological parameters for the ancient populations of the Andean region, in order to obtain more accurate metric approximations. I like to dance and sing, ride my bicycle, but most of all to travel and get to know new places and learn about the culture of the people who live in those places.read more
