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

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 as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have recently completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with an additional major in Mathematics. I have a solid understanding of different math subjects, including algebra and calculus. During the last three years, I have tutored students at my college in algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus and calculus. Thus, I have had experience in working one-on-one with students and keeping track of their progress.
I enjoy tutoring and working with students in the academic environment. I believe students can learn and do well as long as they are taught in the correct ways. I am a very patient, supporting and outgoing person. With my tutoring experience, I am able to explain and break down the difficult concepts to the most basic level. I understand that students have various learning styles. However, I believe to improve their learning skills, all students should frequently r ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My interest in educating others sparked when I first conducted a training program for engineers in my work place. Since then I explored the field of learning and development and gained a lot of knowledge on how knowledge flows from person to person. Inspired by my findings, I did my master’s thesis on Knowledge Management. Today, I share my knowledge with my co-workers by presenting new information. I do it in a way that is interesting and easy to understand. If there is one way I can differentiate myself with others, it is the way I share and present knowledge. I am interesting in tutoring under graduates, high school students on math, physics, chemistry, statistics and computer science.
I help people to understand complex ideas, gain new knowledge by presenting the information that is interesting and easy to follow. I use a lot of analogy when presenting the information. I ch ... read more
