Experience Summary
On-the-job math is almost always done using Microsoft Excel, so I can show you how to do almost anything on a spreadsheet. Ive been a TV broadcast engineer, and taught video production in a public high school. Ive been an avionics technician, a solar PV installer & designer, and a thermal analyst for solar buildings. In most jobs Ive ever held, I ended up being the one who trains new people...just because I love to help people learn things.
Teaching Style
I have two technical-college degrees, I worked my way through both of them being a math tutor, and have used math and science in some way in every job I've ever held. As for my "teaching style", as everyone knows, it helps enormously just to have another person to work with, ask questions of, and generally talk things through. And since Im not a professional teacher, Im mostly a working tech--maybe I can help you see the connections between the abstract science & math the way its taught in school, and how that knowledge actually applies in the workplace (and in life.)
My Hobbies
Ive done a lot of things over the years, just for the fun of it. I earned a private pilot's license for both airplanes and gliders, I lived on a sailboat for two years and got certified by USCG for seamanship and navigation, and I was a historical interpreter for 5 years at Jamestown, VA. Ive been a Master Gardener, and a Tree Steward for the city of Albuquerque, and Im well-versed in all things related to environmentalism and sustainability. And, Ive played guitar since I was 14, so if you want to play some music, Im up.
