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

More About This Tutor...

I am a very flexible teacher. Over the years I have tutored small children, teens and peers in a wide variety of subjects. I am known for my ability to make difficult concepts easy to understand and the way I make dry material interesting. I prefer to work with people individually so that I can match my teaching style to their learning style. I have worked with dyslexic students and gifted students. I have worked with students that needed to work through problems slowly with lots of guidance and students that prefer to figure it out and come to me with specific questions.
I started by tutoring other students in trigonometry and calculus in high school. In college I continued to tutor other students in a variety of courses including general logic, chemistry, physics and English. I have an extensive background in physical sciences: BS in Chemistry, extended coursework in geolo ... read more

I am a recent graduate from Washington State University and I'm currently looking for employment in the Greater Seattle area. I have a degree in General Mathematics and enjoy helping others understand the material. I will work well with high school and younger students because they would not see me as another teacher because I will treat them as an equal and not a student. I also a a minor in English and have taken many engineering classes. Although I have no professional experience as a tutor, I have helped many of my friends understand the material. I would be a good choice because I had to get help in mathematics when I was an undergrad and I know how to relate and help the students that are having difficulty in mathematics.
I will work with the students and find where out where they are weakest. By doing so I will be able to give them the knowledge required to understand the ma ... read more
