I am a recently retired Math Instructor from New York City. I specialized in developmental mathematics, nursing math, and elementary statistics. Also, I was an adjunct business instructor focusing on economics. My formal career in education started as a tutor at San Diego City College, 1990-94. Soon after, I became a Math Peace Corps Volunteer in Central African Republic. My Peace Corps experience was the greatest personal achievement of my life; It made me a development worker for life. Upon returning to the United States, I became a Peace Corps Fellows and taught in the New York City Public School for two years and acquire M.A. in Mathematical Education and a MED in International Educational Development with an emphasis on Peace Education. I have demonstrated ability in fostering learning environments in variety of tutorial settings: one on one; small groups; and large groups.

Normally, a brisk review of fractions and decimals is useful. The introduction of translating word problems into mathematical equations is crucial. This facilitates the study of the unknown. The study of the laws of exponents, FOIL, equation of a straight line, and the solving one equation one unknown and the quadratic equation.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2 normally examines the students mastery of integrating mastery of basic number theory and the study of the unknown. This is exemplified the study of quadratics, law of exponents, basic trig relationships, complex fractions, FOIL, factoring of polynomials, and analytical geometry with the emphasis on straight lines, slope analysis.

Trigonometry

I taught a course in New York City Brooklyn Technology University, The fundamentals of Mathematics for three years. This course encompassed algebra, trigonometry, and pre-calculus.

SAT Math

An SAT pre course requires a robust review of arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, statistics, business math, pre-calculus, Calculus, and the intricacies and manipulations of a modern scientific calculator. In concert with this review, familiarity with the last five years of SAT exams are essential to acclimate the student to the wording and phasing of the exam. Furthermore, simulation of actual test situations is a must: timed practice test

ACT Math

My teaching experience from Developmental Mathematics to Calculus allows me to tailor my tutorial sessions to the particular needs of the student;thus allowing for comprehensiveness in Act Math issues and concerns of students.
