As an Electrical Engineer, I am very capable in all areas of Math and Science. I have tutored family memebers for many years in these subjects and have acted as an independent contractor for high schools in the area as well. I feel my approach to the subjects and personal disposition, make the subject matter easier to grasp. My college level courses gave me a deeper understanding of all math related topics, which makes it easier to convey these topics in understandable terms.
I love to see people grasping the simplest approach. I begin with an overview of what, exactly, is the goal and why we are doing it. I feel step by step methods, with easy to remember techniques, are best to achieving the final result. "Hands on" is definitely the approach, once the goal and methods have been established. Reiteration and practice help make problem solving achievable, and reasonably fun.

More About This Tutor...

I employ a wide range of classroom techniques: analogies, relating theory to current applications, drawing upon "real world" work experiances as examples, student exercies and practices, among many others. Also inviting students to participate in the discussions with their examples, experiences, or interests. Suggesting extra readings, books, web-sites, groups, and other methods beyond the course requirements challenges the students to strive beyond their current limits.
Within the last year at ITT Technical Institute, I have taught electronics engineering and programming language as an adjunct instructor. From 1990 to 1996, while an adjunct instructor at Morton College, I taught the first Novell networking and Intell Assembler classes. I also taught the computer systems analysis and design, computer operations and Lotus 1-2-3 classes in the computer department. I a ... read more
