OUR TUTORS
ERIK AYALA
My name Erik Ayala. I’ve been part of Sunset Scholars LLC for 3 years, having the privilege of being a worker-owner, studied, and graduated from Sunset Park High School. My favorite part about tutoring is being able to engage with kids and getting the opportunity to guide them as much as possible. I focus more on Mathematics as a tutor but enjoy all the subjects. Being part of this co-op has allowed me to make a positive impact on the Sunset Park community and hope to do more for them. Outside of Sunset Scholars, I work full-time on other jobs as my pass time.
CARLOS MARTINEZ
Hi there! My name is Carlos, I’m a 26-year-old with a BA in Psychology from CUNY College Staten Island, which I proudly earned in 2021. Now, I’m advancing my expertise by pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience tutoring students from Kindergarten to 9th grade in English and Math, as well as adults in ESOL and computer literacy. Working with both children and adults motivates me, and I am always happy to help them reach their full learning potential!
