My comments on tutoring Linux : Have used UNIX on Suns, HPs, IBMs, Macs for 20 years, some Linux, but it is functionally the same as UNIX, so knowing one is pretty much knowing the other; have written hundreds of UNIX shell scripts, plus numerous UNIX utililties in C and FORTRAN 90; have debugged software that ran on Suns and Linux, with bugs just on the Linix side (a little endian/big endian thing in bit mapped graphics)

My teaching style is based loosely on that of my major college math professer (and head of the department), which was originated at the University of Texas by his thesis advisor and another colleague. It is basically the Socratic method as applied to teaching mathematics, to try to draw the student out and get him or her to think on their own. I am for understanding, not regurgitating a bunch of facts, which anyone can mindlessly do. The object is to be able to think and analyze on your own.
I have over 30 years of experience in the oil industry, initially in quality control, but quickly promoted to programmer after writing some programs on my own time to help with the quality control.

As a child, I struggled in school and found learning to be difficult and demoralizing. In middle school, I was fortunate enough to have a teacher who, through positive encouragement and persistence, helped me realize my true potential. As a tutor, I attempt to bring this attitude to all of my sessions. Instead of giving students answers, I feel it is my responsibility to not only teach them the content, but study skills that will help them be successful in all classes!
