Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

My approach is to help the student discover the answers themselves. This requires patience, which comes easily for me. I give tips and tricks that can help the student later. I am a natural problem solver. I give praise freely and help the student be proud of themselves. I NEVER criticize or belittle a student. I am an encourager and enjoy helping others. My three daughters often came to me for help with homework.
Astronomy, weather, and science are now my hobbies. I always got As in science and was a lab assistant in high school.

I have trained business professionals, computer programmers, and teenagers in sailing small boats. I give presentations at a nature center, lead tours at a historical museum, and have lead nature hikes for Boy Scouts. I served in the U.S. Air Force until 1980, attended Wayne State University and Northern Michigan University.

The key to successful tutoring is to develop trust and rapport and make learning enjoyable.

General Computer

I've been a computer professional for 30 years. I repair and upgrade my own PC.

Reading

I have insatiable curiosity for reading about people, places, science, and history (although I disliked history in school). I am constantly learning new things (now teaching myself to play the bugle). While reading, I easily recognize the focus of the writing and pay close attention to its details.

Astronomy

I've been an amateur astronomer for 40 years. I also give telescope viewing sessions at a nature center.

Proofreading

I had one supervisor who often asked me to proofread his emails.

Physical Science

Science was always my favorite subject. It is a hobby now. I never stop learning.

Chess

I was in the chess club in high school. I usually win every game now.

ADD/ADHD

Having ADD/ADHD myself and raising a daughter with ADHD gives me plenty of experience helping students in this area. I am very patient and know how to gently keep a child on track. It's so easy for parents to get frustrated trying to help their child study.

COBOL

I have about 20 years COBOL programming experience from working at JL Hudson, AAA, and Kmart. This ranges from the older straight-line programming to the current structured programming. I have given instruction to new programmers at AAA.

Computer Programming

I have about 20 years computer programming experience from working at JL Hudson, AAA, and Kmart. This ranges from the older COBOL and IMS DB/DC to SQL/Teradata. I have given instruction to new programmers at AAA.
