Experience Summary
I have BS degrees in both Physics and Nuclear Medicine. I was formerly a certified nuclear medicine technologist. I have worked as an engineer in the NASA community for much of my life and have a strong background in computers and software engineering. I also hold Cisco CCNA and EMCPA certifications. I tutored students in Physics and Math during my last 18 months at college. I have currently resumed tutoring in this area and am tutoring in physcis, math, computers and biology. I took the ARRT exam some time ago and scored 93%, becoming a board certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist. In fact, I have a bachelor's degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology and worked as a board certified technologist for some time.
Teaching Style
I enjoy helping people, particularly kids. It's a very good feeling to help kids understand so many of the concepts in science, math and computers that tend to stump them. I am an easy going and focused individual. I generally teach kids by relating the subject to something they are interested in. There is a very good example of this in the movie "Big", where Tom Hanks character is teaching algebra to a boy who likes basketball. This is a technique that I use frequently. I believe very strongly that kids need to understand the concepts underlying each problem so they can solve it through understanding and not just rote memorization.
