A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent over 34 years as a senior software engineer with extensive experience in all aspects of complex software development in system software and medical devices. I have researched, developed, designed, implemented, tested and supported numerous products. I am highly organized and detail-oriented with strong documentation and training skills. In addition, I have taught algebra and computer programming classes at the college level with class sizes ranging from 10 to 250 students and I have done substitute teaching at the high school level. I tutor math students at the community college level and have trained customers and staff in the use of various software applications.
I am a patient and relaxed teacher who is interested in student success. I am able to find different ways of explaining and assisting a student based on their needs, background, and abilities. I believe that ... read more

More About This Tutor...

One way to inspire a student in these fields is to touch their sense of awe and amazement, another is to instill an appreciation for the usefulness and practicality of what is being taught. With either approach, it is helpful to gain an understanding of the student's interests, attitudes and learning style. Young people are looking for adults they can trust as mentors, and I find my personal interest in them and my enthusiasm for what I am teaching combine to support their learning process. Learning is a great opportunity to build personal confidence. I love young people, adolescents in particular, and find tremendous satisfaction in their intellectual development.
I've had a deep enthusiasm for mathematics and physics since an early age, when my father, a professor of physics at Dartmouth College, introduced me to the beauty and elegance of the principles underlying these fields. ... read more
