Precalculus

While in college, I have majored in engineering science, electronic engineering technology, and computer information systems. All required a great deal of math courses, including calculus and differential equations. Before getting to any of these courses, I had to take precalculus as a prerequisite.

The interesting thing about math is that everything you learn in high school and beyond, you will see everyday when you pursue high level math courses in college. That's why the subject... Read More

Statistics

Subjects such as Engineering, Technology, and Business often require statistical research to aid in decision making. That’s why the mathematical subject of Statistics is so important when obtaining a degree in any of the scientific or business disciplines.
My knowledge of this course allows me to provides tools used for both descriptive statistics and inferential concepts used to draw conclusions about a population.
Research techniques such as sampling and experiment design are included... Read More

Government & Politics

Some of my business education required me to learn about American Government and Politics.
Therefore, I'm able to help students that need to understand the basics of government but are not pursuing a degree in Law or Politics.

Topics include the history of government and its basic forms that exist today.
Emphasis on American government, it's structure and how that structure came about during the forming for the United States Constitution.

SQL

Concepts and methods fundamental to relational databases, including database design and structured query language (SQL).

Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML) are thoroughly covered to give students an ideal understanding of how to write SQL code.

ASVAB

Lessons for The Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test prep are conducted in two different ways:

The first way is to raise a student's Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) percentile. This is accomplished by focusing on four of the nine sections that make up the AFQT score. The students are drilled on questions in:

Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)
Mathematics Knowledge (MK)
Paragraph Comprehension (PC)
Word Knowledge (WK)

Networking (Computer)

During the last thirteen years, I’ve taken college courses in computer networking, studied and taken networking courses to pass the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification exams, received on-the-job training, and developed years of knowledge from past work experience,

Although my current professional background in computers has been focused on database programming, much of my knowledge depends on my past experience and knowledge as a systems engineer. Systems engineers are... Read More

Discrete Math

Part of my pursuit to obtaining a Bachelor Degree in Computer Information Systems was to study and learn Discrete Math.

I typically help students with their intermediate-level programming and discrete mathematics courses where concepts of discrete structures are required.

Some of the topics I help students with include elementary set theory, logic, functions, relations, Boolean algebra, elements of graph theory, matrix representation of graphs, and matrix manipulations... Read More

C++

My college majors in Electronic Engineering and Computer Information Systems required me to learn the fundamentals of computer programming using the C++ programming language.

These fundamentals have allowed me to learn other programming languages such as Java, PHP, and T-SQL, which I use nearly every day for current project tasks.

Many students majoring in computer sciences, engineering sciences, and information technology, often find that they must also take C++ programming... Read More

Microsoft Access

I have had over fifteen years of designing databases with Microsoft Access and ten years of experience designing enterprise level databases using SQL Server and Oracle platforms. I can easily explain complex concepts and methods to help students understand the fundamentals of relational databases, proper database design and how to run queries using structured query language (SQL).
