Electrical Engineering Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sachse, TX

I have two teenage sons, both of whom I have tutored through pre-AP Algebra, the oldest is in pre-Calculus this year. I tend to take a holistic approach, showing "why" the student needs to know the material, and "where" it fits in with other disciplines, instead of just "how" to do it. When I was in high school, I decided upon attending Oklahoma State University, based upon the fact that OSU sponsored a high school scholastic competition, whereas OU was only known for football. If that does not make me boring enough, I represented my school and placed 8th in the state for Algebra. Not too bad for a small middle-class parochial school. Naturally enough, I was the best at my school. When I finally went to OSU, I studied Electrical Engineering, obtaining a Master's degree. How did I get to Texas? -- Texas Instruments of course!

I have a strong passion for teaching and working with children. I tailor my teaching style to meet the needs of the students, focus on correcting the students' areas of weaknesses and reinforcing areas of positive strengths. Recognizing that every student learns in different ways, my teaching style adapts to the student’s aptitude, interests and learning motivation. I use tools such as graphic aids, analogies, comparisons in illustrating examples that are effective in aiding the student’s quick and easy understanding of the subject topic. I adopt easy hands-on exercises during my tutoring sessions which help my students appreciate and retain the basic understanding of importance of knowledge gained. I am a respectable and accomplished member of reputable scientific and professional organizations. During my postgraduate (MS and Ph.D) study years, I gained extensive scientific and research

My degree in Engineering has given me plenty of experience in math and science. I have also had graduate courses in Physics and Engineering. As a graduate student at UNT, I instructed several physics and astronomy labs and learned first hand what teaching can be like. I have since felt that teaching math and science is a career I want to pursue. I have always had a passion for learning, and helping others learn. In middle school, High School and College, other students came to me for help with assignments. Knowing what it is like to be a student, I try to see from the students point of view. Each student teaches me their own way to learn. I enjoy learning and hope that I can share that joy with others.

I have a few years experience teaching in the Air Force. I also have an extensive background in engineering, statistics and math in general. While in the Air Force I was an instructor for the Space Operations School in Colorado Springs. This gave me the opportunity to go through many classes on how to instruct various types of students. Even though I taught adults, I am also very comfortable teaching children. I also have been an engineer most of my career so I have experience with real world math problems. I have never tutored as a job but did take and pass all the testing required to become a high school and middle school math teacher in Texas (TExES). I have five children of my own and spend many hours helping them with school work. I have found that patience and repetition in many cases are very good paths to success. I do not believe in becoming frustrated with children that
