Experience Summary
I have always had a love for math and science. In college I shared that enthusiasm by tutoring classmates in calculus, physics and chemistry while earning a BS in Industrial Engineering. I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer in the pilot of the now nationally acclaimed “The Algebra Project.” This program introduced a new approach to teaching kids algebra. I have since applied my technical training as an engineer to become a successful project manager and Six Sigma Black Belt. Both of these roles require strong mathematical, communication and analytical skills. In my spare time, I continued to tutor many students in algebra, trigonometry, geometry, physics, calculus, statistics and chemistry.
Teaching Style
Because of my profession, I have developed a talent for simplifying and explaining complex ideas. I have also learned over the years that math is a language, and should be taught as one. So it is my approach to first understand a student’s way of thinking and processing problems. I can then help them merge new mathematical concepts into their point of view. It is a matter of patience and flexibility, of which I have acquired from my years of experience. I have yet to face a student I could not help.
