Experience Summary
I am completing my PhD in Operations Research. I earned a Master of Science in Engineering Management, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I have 16 years tutoring &5 years University teaching experience in five Universities that include Beginning/Intermediate/College Algebra, Finite Mathematics, Statistics, Quantitative Methods, Discrete Mathematics, & Math for Educators. I tutor students one-on-one at the Center for Mathematics Excellence, University of Phoenix.
I have three children. Math Is not an easy subject for them, I do lot’s of tutoring at home! My Teaching Dossier is located: http://my.fit.edu/~ckoursaris/Dossier
It includes student testimonials/evaluations, assignments, peer & faculty reviews.
Teaching Style
My teaching philosophy sentiment from the students’ perspective is echoed in the students’ feedback towards me, in official instructor evaluations as well as unofficial communication. It gives me great pleasure to see that my students appreciate my efforts to teach them “something” that they will be able to carry with them for the rest of their lives. I believe that all learners want to be model students and all students want to be model learners. The treatment and respect that I give to my students is reciprocated ten-fold back to me, and that is what I enjoy the most!
