All my students are successful learners who have fun learning!

My approach to teaching math and science is to thoroughly prepare a student by first emphasizing the fundamentals. Too many students get "lost" if advanced concepts are taught too soon. Then, once a student is ready, the studies should emphasize the students strengths and interests to the utmost possible. As an engineer and mathematician I have experience in all areas of Aerospace engineering,including management and mentoring of engineers over much of my 44 year career at Lockheed Martin. I have also tutored math, phyics, and other related subjects.

I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with children, especially the Middle School-aged set, because I love being able to talk with them about current events, and its fun to broaden their horizons beyond their iPods [the gossip and daily drama is hilarious at times too]. I earned my Bachelor's in Biological Sciences and am now in the process of going back to school to earn my teaching credential. I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know. Do you know how to?’ Student: “I mean, may I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Yes, of cour
