Experience Summary
My passion is to inspire others to reach their maximum potential. I am currently a College Professor at Westwood College where I teach Calculus and Algebra. I have a BS in Industrial Engineering from Clemson University and an MBA from Georgia State University. I have also worked in the industry as an engineer for a number of years where I applied numbers and mathematical formulas on a daily basis. Understanding the application of Math is critical to teaching it. My students ask me daily how what they are learning is going to help them once they graduate….I can assure you that I always have an answer pertaining to the application of Math! It is a basic fundamental that is used in many aspects of life.
Teaching Style
Math is different from most subjects in that the learning does not begin until the application, theories, and formulas are put to practice. I am an expert at conveying complex mathematical theories and formulas to students in a manner that makes Math enjoyable. My teaching style is to make learning Math interactive and very hands on. My students are not just being lectured to, but rather, we spend the majority of time solving problems. Once the problem is completed, I give the students the answers so they can refer back to the solution while completing the next problem. With a lot of practice completing various problems and then checking the answers the student then becomes comfortable.
