I THOROUGHLY ENJOY TEACHING STEM SUBJECTS, PARTICULARLY MATH AND PHYSICS--I AM VERY PATIENT AND KNOW HOE DIFFICULT IT IS TO LEARN THESE SUBJECTS--THE KEY IS TO DO PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, TO WORK ON THE FUNDAMENTALS FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES BEFORE ONE CAN DO SOME "OPEN FIELD RUNNING" I.E., MAKING GREAT GAINS AND MASTERING THE ENTIRE SUBJECT. UNDERSTANDING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT--I DO NOT MOVE ON TO ANY NEW TOPIC UNTIL I BELIEVE THE STUDENT UNDERSTANDS THE FUNDAMENTALS. I CAN BE REACHED ON MY CELL PHONE 703-599-5635 OR MY OFFICE PHONE 352-301-4425.
Teaching Style
PROBLEM SOLVING--EVERY STUDENT OF ALL BACKGROUNDS CAN LEARN AND MASTER MATH AND SCIENCE IF THEY WORK HARD AND DO NOT SURRENDER TO DISTRACTIONS OR LOSE CONFIDENCE. A GREAT INSTRUCTOR PRODUCES GREAT STUDENTS.
