PhD Physics, able to tutor in science, math, engineering

I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years. I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later. This situation has left me open to new directions. My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics. My goal is to show how math and science can enrich one's life and these subjects are nothing to fear.
I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It". By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result. I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem. I try to present the material in ... read more

From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several states, leading trainings in voter contact activities, campaign software systems, and other volunteer activities. Training volunteers of all different backgrounds and educational levels was the key to my task.
I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the lear ... read more

Graduated with a master's degree, I have been teaching for 5 years. I believe in education and I have a passion for teaching. I have expertise in the following three fields: the first is Mathematics. I teach SAT math, GRE math, GMAT math, college algebra, geometry, trigonometry and some statistics. I am good at both in class teaching and software assisted online learning. Second, since my native language is Chinese, I teach Chinese language. I teach Chinese in all aspects including speaking, reading, writing and grammar. Last one is business related fields including Finance and Economics. My bachelor's degree is Economics and my master's is Business Administration.
I believe it is as important of learning subject as the learning skill. So I not only teach students the subject, but also teach them study skills. I love to use multimedia and all kinds of resources to create a fun lear ... read more
