My approach to tutoring is to first determine where weaknesses in understanding exist, then to find ways to strengthen the student in those areas. Learning styles vary among students, so whenever possible, I try to match my tutoring methods to each student's strongest learning style. For example, one student may learn best by rote memorization and repetition drills. Another may thrive with analogies and mnemonics. A third student may need derivations from first principles or real life applications to get past a mental block.

I have BS and MS degrees in chemical engineering, and after graduating from college, I worked in the legal / automotive industry for 13 years. I currently work as a substitute teacher in Washtenaw County, Michigan. As an independent tutor, I have been helping students since 1986, primarily in English, math and science.

ACT Math

The ACT math test covers a broad range of topics from arithmetic, discrete math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. The supplied choices usually include erroneous answers that could be generated by simple errors. This can give the test taker false confidence in an incorrect answer if they are not very careful. However, since the test is 60 minutes long and there are 60 questions, pacing is necessary. To maximize student scores, both attention to detail and pace must be balanced.Read More

Guitar

I have been playing guitar since 1992, and have some performance experience. These days, I mostly play sacred music, classic rock and Americana, but I occasionally branch out to play folk, blues, classical, rock and jazz.

I am very patient and attentive, and I am willing to work with students of any age and level of experience. Besides just learning, practicing and performing music, other areas where I can help guitar students include selection and purchase of an acoustic or electric... Read More

Drawing

Art was always one of my favorite and most successful subjects in school. During engineering school and my early career, I frequently needed to draw for technical communications and design. To further improve my skills, and as a creative outlet, I took drawing classes through our local recreation and education program in 2009 and 2010. Since 2010, I have substitute taught in Washtenaw County area public schools, including classes in art, digital imaging, CAD and other courses that require drawing... Read More

Chemical Engineering

I hold both BS (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, 1992) and MS (Clemson University, 1996) degrees in chemical engineering.

During my undergraduate program, I enhanced my learning with additional chemistry courses (descriptive inorganic chemistry, two extra analytical chemistry courses, chemistry seminar and a whole year of research involving maleic anhydride and the ene reaction as a precursor to a motor oil additive), mechanical engineering courses (metallurgy, corrosion) and took...

Reading

I began helping other people learn to read in 1986, when the guidance counselor at my high school asked me to do so. Since then, I have worked with a variety of reading and reading comprehension students. I have helped typical elementary students improve their reading after moving to a new school, special needs students with below grade level reading, and cognitively impaired reading students. More recently, I have worked with my own children at home to improve their reading.
