Retired Computer Scientist - wants to tutor about computers

I have worked for the U.S. Geological Survey as a developmental geophysicist and computer scientist form 1958 to 2010. I also was an assistant professor of mathematics and geology at Metropolitan State College from 1965 to 1974 (I was part-time with the USGS then). I have also taught astronomy and physics at the college level and for the adult education programs for Jefferson County, Colorado schools and for the National Wildlife Federation Conservation Summits

Rudimental Computer Programming with Various Languages

I adjust to the student.
I have 13 years of experience with a variety of computer language. I've worked in a university environment. You can view the university as a small town with various parts which a town needs. I worked in those areas of the "town" establishing computer services. Examples of those areas are: police, facilities management, telecommunication, hospital, postal service, purchasing, grant management of monies and others.

A Little Bit About Me...

I strongly believe in learning by doing. I have never given a lecture or taught something 1on1 without providing practice problems or peppering students with questions. The hardest part about this is getting students to understand that it is okay to ask and answer questions. Most students I have encountered are used to simply looking at the teacher but never really interacting with them. If I ask a question and nobody gets it, I rephrase it, reteach the section that led up to the question and generally try to understand why the question is not being answered. Aside from some initial amount of memorization, students need to learn how to think through concepts and ideas, and the best way to do that, regardless of subject, is ask them things.
As a rising junior at Cornell University, I was asked to TA a Chemistry course for engineers. I accepted and entered into my first teaching posi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love the interaction between a teacher and their students. For me teaching is a form of self discovery. My students are like mirrors in which I see my strengths and weaknesses. I constantly learn from my students and I grow as they grow. I feel as individuals we are limitless and teaching reminds me of it as I see my students grow. My students in turn gain confidence about themselves through the same process of discovery. I am a great believer in that education is a tool to learn about yourself and to exercise self belief and confidence in yourself. I not only teach subjects, but also teach students to learn about themselves.
As a Computer Science graduate, I have had extensive experience in Mathematics, physics, and computers. As I have always been passionate about teaching, I always taught while attending school. Teaching and tutoring experience: - High school calculus ... read more
