Do you feel overwhelmed by your class? Does it seem like an obstacle course designed to keep you from your real goals?

I can help.

I cannot promise you you will learn to love these subjects as much as I do, but I promise you there is a better approach to learning them, and I can help you find it. Whether you need help grasping the fundamental concepts or you just have trouble with test taking anxiety, I will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and craft a study plan suited to you.

Algebra 1

In most school systems, Algebra 1 begins the separation of students into the differently paced math tracks, only the fastest of which culminates in AP Calculus senior year. Re-instilling confidence and competence in a student who is struggling in Algebra 1 pays dividends down the line, and not just in other math classes, but required classes for science, engineering, and medical degrees.

As a former chemistry professor, I observed first hand how much difficulty with basic algebra translated... Read More

Calculus

Although my primary educational passion has been the physical sciences, I decided to add Applied Mathematics as a second major in college because of my strong interest in the field. I first encountered Calculus in my AP course in high school, but I continued to take advanced classes in the subject throughout my undergraduate education.

Calculus is an especially practical field of mathematics that lends itself to real world problems, and it is a tool I have continued to use throughout... Read More

Chemistry

I have a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, and taught general and physical chemistry at the college level before leaving for a job in industry.

Having taught this subject as a college professor and as a graduate student I have numerous resources to call upon. Depending on what works best for your learning style, I can tailor tutoring sessions to follow along and reinforce your classroom lessons, or we can identify problem areas and focus exclusively on those.

Geometry

Geometry can seem like an unusual step in the traditional middle and high school mathematics track, coming between algebra I and algebra II. Although elements of continuity do exist (emphasis on ratios is Geometry is very algebra intensive, and the first introduction to trigonometry often starts in geometry), Geometry stands apart from the other traditional math courses with its emphasis on visualization and formal proofs, and the problem solving strategies are often more open ended. Strong algebra... Read More

Physics

I have a Ph.D. in physical chemistry, which encompasses aspects of both chemistry and physics. I am well versed in the various subjects of beginning physics (mechanics, electromagnetism and optics).

The basic concepts are the same at the high school and college freshmen levels, with the college class typically covering a few more topics and requiring calculus as a prerequisite. I can teach you problem solving skills for both levels, and equally important, help you learn to appreciate... Read More

MATLAB

I've used MATLAB extensively in my research career and am very familiar with the base package, as well as the image processing toolbox and the Graphical User Interface Development Environment (GUIDE). Depending on your needs I can offer a startup lesson for a new user (Basic command line analysis, script and function coding, and plotting data), code consulting to improve performance (memory management, vectorization, efficient use of data types), and any other help needed.
