I have had 26 year experiences in airplane structural design, analysis and repair. First, I have had 26 year experiences in aircraft (i.e. C-17, 787 & Delta IV rocket) structural design, analysis and repair. Due to lack of new order for C-17 transport airplanes, I was laid off by Boeing on 5-2-2014. I have been eligible for social security benefits since October 2014. However, I am in such a good shape to be able to play tennis games. I would like to work for 5 more years minimum to contribute my engineering knowledge and enrich my personal life. I am looking forward to working as a mechanical engineering tutor.

I'm a graduate of UCLA Engineering with a passion for explaining how the physical world works through math and physics along with 14 years of tutoring experience in those subjects, test prep, and mentorship programs. The teaching strategy I believe in emphasizes subject fundamentals, a powerful and necessary tool for higher problem solving. This strategy has proven very effective regardless of the student's educational background or mental ability. Besides being knowledgeable, I am motivating, caring, and patient in guiding your student to academic success! EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING: Executive Functioning is a separate realm that tutoring can assist in. It deals with cognitive processes including organization, time management, and study skills. Much of the difficulty students face in academic subjects can be attributed to the lack of executive functioning. They either cannot keep up w

I enjoy teaching. My approach to teaching is to be interactive as possible. I believe with a combination of hard work and determination, one is fully capable of learning. I am flexible and willing to adjust one teaching style based on the student needs. I am currently living in Ottawa, Canada but intend to return to the United States after I complete my Master's degree in International Development and Global Studies. I will also be in California for my summer break which is from Mid-April to the end of August. My current research concerns policies and institutional infrastructure for water management. I have a wide range of experience from international trade at the U.S. Department of Commerce to quality assurance and engineering at the Department of Defense. Furthermore, I have a B.Sc. in Business Administration. I spent a large portion in high school and my years as an undergrad tutori

My teaching style is totally interactive. I plan each lesson before initiating it with the student. I first inform the student what will be covered in the lesson, and then question him or her to determine background knowledge and capability. At each step of the lesson, after presenting the material, I ask the student questions to determine the resultant level of understanding, and after the lesson is completed, I give a test to document the results. I keep a diary of the interactions for myself and other teachers for the future. In addition to B.A. degrees in Mathematics and Psychology, I have experience as a Software Engineer, a Pharmacy Technician, and a Professional Musician. I have tutored children from ages 14 to 18 in English, Mathematics, History, and Music over a period of two years. I have provided them with an excellent role model for dealing with friends, teachers, emplo

The most important term to categorize my teaching style is low pressure. Many years of education in math and science has shown me that the intensity and stress often associated with this branch of education is entirely counterproductive. A more supportive approach to learning and math and science produces greater understanding and breadth of knowledge as well as creativity. For the past several years, I have been working full time as a researcher in the field of condensed matter physics. Before that, while a graduate fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, I acted as an instructor in laboratory skills and assisted teaching classes in both the physics department and the Wharton School of Business. In addition, I worked regularly with a National Science Foundation program to train high school teachers in the latest advances in nanotechnology. The most enjoyable part of those years for me

Starting in my college years when I was a Sr. Faculty Associate to my current status where I teach people how to build web sites, I have been teaching for most of my career. Additionally, I am a certified IC3 (Computer skills) instructor and have home schooled my daughter. As an electrical engineer with a MS degree from Santa Clara University, I am prepared to teach on the subjects of mathematics, technology and engineering. Additionally, in my career as an engineer, program manager and business owner, I am able to pass on knowledge from my real world experience in a number of other areas. My teaching style is highly interactive and somewhat Socratic in that I will ask a number of questions to the student before giving an answer. In doing so, I can diagnose what information the student knows and find out where they may be lacking. Additionally I try to communicate with the st
