About Me

Experience Summary

I have done private tutoring of high school students in math from pre-algebra to calculus and in other subjects. I have also home schooled adopted daughters from lower grades to high school level, including teaching English as a second language. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in an electric machinery laboratory for non-electrical engineering majors. My own experience with standardized tests includes having taken the ACT in 1971 with scores ranging from 22 (76th percentile) in English to 31 (97th percentile) in math with a composite of 27 (93rd percentile) and having passed the GRE in 1975. Other previous experience includes 34 years experience as a communication system engineer. This experience includes satellite communications and other communications for the US military, NASA, FAA, and commercial customers. Antennas and radio propagation were special areas of professional interest for me.

Teaching Style

Lead the student to find the right answer himself or herself if possible.

My Hobbies

My main hobby interest is gardening. I also enjoy international shortwave radio when I have time.
