Materials Engineering Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Idledale, CO

The keys to learning physics and mathematics consist of 1) understanding the general principles, 2) relating the principles to familar experiences and 3) extensive practice applying the principles to problems of increasing difficulty. With my extensive problem-solving experience, it is easy for me to develop interesting scenarios which students can relate to. Then I follow up with relavent problem sets to reinforce the concepts. I have 40 years of experience applying my scientific education and interest to both solving real world technical problems as an applied physicist and teaching mathematics, physics, computer science and computer programming. For 17 years at the Hewlett Packard Co, I enjoyed teaching technical and computer classes to customers and internal employees while providing on-demand analytical problem solving, debugging and troubleshooting skills to identify and evaluate c

In my opinion every student learns in a different way giving his or her own approach to developing an understanding of new unfamiliar knowledge. Also these same students shift their methods depending upon the material being introduced and discussed. It is for this reason that I seek to first try to carefully understand the students learning style and adjust my teaching style to match. Examples: Leaning by example, teacher solves a math problem for the student in a step-by-step approach with the benefit of why the teacher is using these particular steps and approach. Four years tutoring at the undergraduate college level when I was an undergraduate student myself. This includes calculus 1&2&3 and college algebra. Also physics, chemistry and biology. I perused a double major of pre medicine and electrical engineering at the undergraduate level. I needed some extra money and found a lo

One of my key strengths as a science and math teacher is that after receiving BS & MS chemistry degrees, I’ve spent over 20 years as an industrial scientist (Allied Signal Aerospace, Eastman Kodak, & Ford). A common thread throughout this time has been to recognize the value of a good work ethic, character, and thriving on being a problem solver. After becoming a teacher (4 years ago), I’ve developed a passion for motivating “at-risk” and advanced students to learn through adept usage of differentiation, rigorous content, and experiential teaching techniques. I especially enjoy doing so one-on-one with individuals! I leave with a favorite quote from Albert Einstein; “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” I tend towards a "supporting /coaching" style when teaching. Although there is no one best style for all situations, this style highlights the value o
