My passions for knowledge and the sense of fulfillment I get from learning along with the desire I have for sharing that passion are the foundation of my educational philosophy. I have little doubt that students today want to learn, want to discover, and want to understand and contribute to the world in which they live. I recognize that my passion for knowledge and learning alone, while necessary, is not sufficient to make me an effective teacher. It also requires establishing a rapport with my students based upon mutual respect and grounded in empathy.

No one teaching style works with all students, or even a majority of them. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to make academic subjects interesting and relevant to different students. I usually use a combination of guided discovery, question-and-answer, and hands-on approaches to teaching and learning.
My broad-based educational background gives me a firm foundation for interacting with students on a variety of levels. I have taught both French and Mathematics at the college level, have tutored Math, Physics and Chemistry at the college level, and have substituted in high schools and junior highs as well. As a research mathematician with GE, I have explained mathematical concepts to adults with a wide range of backgrounds.
