About Me

Experience Summary

I came to America in 1976 as a foreign student in order to become an educator in science. I have earned three MS degrees, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Physics, and one BS, Physics, and Two certificates, Dale Carnegie Course and Object-Oriented Programming. In addition, I have worked for IBM over 20 years. My industrial experience has helped me understand what kind of students are neeeded by the indystry. Lastly, during the last nine years, I was a graduate student in Physics and have taught general Physics, mathematical Physics, and Electricity & Magnetism.

Teaching Style

I'm very passionate with teaching science, especially mathematics. At first, I'll help student build his/her interest in mathematics and set goal. Furthermore, I'll teach and apply the following process : 1) Understand the problem 2) Analyze the problem 3) Find solving method 4) Generate solution 5) Test/Check solution to solve problem. Doing homework is very important to improve student's problem solving skill. I'll prepare the homework based on student's goal and skill level and grade it. My goal is to have student can learn and do mathematics independently.
