Judgement-free and effective!

- I am best with long-term subject tutoring (homework help and class notes) and test prep (for example, a review session before an intimidating unit test). - I usually teach conversationally through lots of problem solving targeted on your weak areas. However, if you want to try something different, please let me know!
*If you contact me, please send me an email address at which I can reach you! Thank you. If I have availability you will hear from me within 24 hours.* I'm a recent Princeton engineering grad and current Northwestern engineering PhD student with 7 years of tutoring experience. I'm familiar with the types of exams you might be taking - back in the day, I scored 5s on the AP tests for Chemistry, Physics B, Physics C (Mech and E&M), Calculus BC, and Statistics, 800s on the SAT II tests for Math, Physics, and Chemistry, and 800s on the SAT Math and Critical Reading - a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, where I tutored for 2 years in the subjects of physics, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, engineering mechanics and thermodynamics. In addition to my technical background, I studied English and liberal arts for 2 years and wrote fiction for my college magazine. Over the past 2 years I have worked as a volunteer tutor with students in Chicago ranging from 7th grade through college, teaching English, mathematics and science. I am an experienced engineer and technician, and can readily communicate the relevance of math and science to students at all levels. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in engineering.
I am extremely patient and even-tempered, but also very focused and passionate about education. Communicating with the student and parents is vital to the tutoring process. It e ... read more

Read More About Douglas T...

I have taught "Introduction to Business & Technology" since March, 2008 and was promoted to teaching two classes online in 8-week cycles as "adjunct professor" in mid-2010. I was promoted to "visiting professor" in 2011, and enjoy working with students who range broadly in ability. My greatest strength is in helping students to believe in their own ability through aspects of mentorship and encouragement. I find that a high quality education is attainable when there is close, effective student-teacher contact. Any subject can be learned given the proper keys to finding desire in the student by creating an environment of peaceful learning, while also encouraging positive movement through reflections of forward progress. The ultimate achievement comes by creating “stand-alone” capability.
I have progressed from Research Engineer to Senior Research Associate over the course of 32 years ... read more
