I have served for 30 years as an officer in the army in the branch dealing with electronics and communications engineering. After retirement from the army, I joined as a professor in electronics and communication engineering in a university. After teaching for 12 years in two universities, I took retirement. Thereafter, I have taught maths and physics... read more

...My academic areas of strength include English (writing/reading/grammar), Spanish (I am a native speaker), and World History (with an emphasis on US history). I also feel very comfortable tutoring Science and Math for grades k-8th. Doing your work can be fun! Let's work together to understand it and get it done! I am a native Spanish-speaker. While... read more

..., students need to have mastered the graphical properties of linear functions before working on quadratic ones (hyperbolas, ellipses, parabolas). Since so many homework and exam problems in trig involve multiples of 30 and 45 degrees, I show all my students how to derive all the trig functions for those angles based on only two facts that need to... read more

...I graduated with flying colors and went to work in the industry; C programming, UNIX core/kernel system software and device drivers, X server and X Windows, and other software and firmware design and development, for many years. Later, I got into different but very interesting work, involving more sophisticated math, physics and engineering, in... read more

...I believe that it is necessary to teach math for understanding rather than having students memorizing procedures, and it is probably through my engineering background that I recognize that it is critical to break down problems and concepts into steps, the size of which depends directly on the needs of the student. I strongly believe that everyone... read more
