Experience Summary
As a retired engineer, an opportunity to tutor mathematics has been afforded me. Indeed, I derive much pleasure from math as a hobby and helping others to succeed. I also derive much satisfaction from helping students to transition from not being able to pass a math or physics course to successfully completing their courses with a good grades as well as achieving a genuine understanding of the material. I earned a B.S. Electronics degree from Chapman University (Orange, CA), and I have an A.S. Electronics Technology degree from San Diego Mesa College. I worked as an engineer for Motorola for almost 20 years until I retired. Also, I have experience tutoring students with ADHD and ADD.
Teaching Style
My charter, based on ESLERs (Expected School-wide Learning Results), is as follows:
• Demonstrate understanding of math in real world applications and mastery of math content standards in their high school coursework.
• Use problem-solving strategies and organization to solve real world problems.
Besides equipping students with the ability to effectively solve problems and apply the various mathematical principles and methodologies that are needed to successfully complete high school and college, my aim is to enable students to think mathematically (i.e., logically). This capability will empower students to resolve problems encountered in the real world as well as to make well-thought-out decisions throughout life.
