I am an experienced software engineer and math tutor holding a BA in mathematics and a Masters (MS) in computer science. I have been writing computer programs since I was 16 for government and industry and have written literally thousands of computer programs. I can tutor programming in almost any computer language but especially in C, C++, C#, Java, php, Matlab, Pascal, Delphi, Ada, Clips, SQL, Fortran, Prolog, CLIPS, Python and Ruby. I also tutor web design and web development and am expert in XHTML, HTML, CSS, XML, XSLT. I taught computer programming and web design at McKinley Technology High School in Washington, DC from 2006-2009 and I was one of the instructors on the Be The Game project in Washington, DC where we taught computer programming by teaching students how to write computer games. Both in industry and government, co-workers frequently asked me to improve computer programs written by others or to develop an application that other people couldn't work out. I also tutored college students who worked in my building who frequently asked me to help them on their school projects.

I tutor mathematics from basic math through algebra, trigonometry and calculus as well as SAT/ACT/GRE math and the ASVAB. My Praxis I scores were 187 out of 190, just over 98 percent, in all three areas - math, reading and writing. I can also tutor conversational German having lived in Germany for 12 years.

Homeschool:

Algebra 1

Algebra is one of my favorite subjects and can help you excel in your studies. Algebra is the gateway to higher mathematics and mathematics is the key to understanding the universe and mastering academics.

Algebra 2

Algebra is the gateway to mathematical modelling and mathematical modelling is a powerful asset for your career.

Geometry

Geometry is the oldest field of classical mathematics and continues to yield interesting and informative results even in our modern world. Geometry is usually used as an introduction to logical thinking in high school. It can appear to be somewhat arcane but in fact has direct applicability to our modern technological world.

Precalculus

Precalculus is the broad preparatory study of mathematics needed for studying calculus, the mathematics describing motion and change. Precalculus begins with the study of functions, moves through a review of algebra and usually ends with the in depth study of trigonometry. All of these topics must be mastered before beginning calculus.

Java

Java is the current primary object oriented learning language, as well as one of the top three computer languages used in industry. As an expert in Java and software engineering, I can ensure your success in your class or on your project.

SAT Math

SAT math, often feared and almost always viewed as a college hurdle, is actually pretty easy. For the most part SAT math focuses on basic algebra, some properties of algebraic relationships and numbers, basic geometry and basic statistics. SAT math is easily mastered although students do usually need to put some time in it's study. Student's are often tripped up by actual trick questions and questions designed to look like trick questions. I can train you to see through these problems and confidently... Read More

GED

The GED is your key to jobs, the military and access to higher education. GED prep courses are in high demand and are costly. I can supercharge your success and help you master the GED quickly.

ASVAB

I am your one stop shop for a high AFQT score so that you can begin to write your ticket for a military career. I particularly specialize in math, vocabulary and reading comprehension and science.

Praxis

I took the Praxis I in Spring 2007 and scored 187 out of 190 (> 98%) in all three areas. The Praxis I test is a basic teacher assessment broken down into three sections: math, reading and writing. Each section is timed with approximately 40 questions. The tester has a maximum of 75 minutes for the reading and math sections and a maximum of 60 minutes for the writing section. The writing section is subdivided into two subsections. The math section tests basic math similar to, but slightly easier... Read More

C++

C++ is one of the major object oriented languages used in industry. C++ is extremely powerful and incredibly flexible and can be used for to develop any kind of application that you can dream up. Mastering C++ can be a major step forward in your career.

Computer Science

Computer science is the study of computational phenomena, usually but not always as realized in human constructed systems. Amazingly humans have been developing computational systems for at least two thousand years. While Charles Babbage and his companion Ada Lovelace nearly created working gear based computer systems in the mid 1800s, the theoretical foundation of computer science was formally laid in the 1930s resulting in the explosion of computers and the birth of the computing industry in...
